This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub
3.0
Pretty good. I can see why people like it so much. I struggle with time travel books because I can't get over the mechanics and implications, and it pulls me out of the story. I was afraid that it would be like The Last Five Years, and it wasn't, so, that was a pleasant surprise.
This Woman's Work: Essays on Music by Sinéad Gleeson, Kim Gordon
3.0
The essays were hit or miss for me, but the ones that hit were really good. That's how I found Leslie Jamison. I gave myself grace to skip anything I wasn't into, just like I would have if I were reading in print.
The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
4.0
VERY fun and witchy: perfect for spooky season. Recommended for fans of We Ride Upon Sticks, but it's much darker, and the witchcraft is not tongue-in-cheek.
The Book of Delights: Essays by Ross Gay
5.0
On the nose, but this was DELIGHTFUL. So glad that my friend Erin recommended this to be, and brb, now I need to read everything Ross Gay has ever written.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson
4.0
DELIGHTFUL, especially listening to Elaine Stritch read it while I decorated the Christmas tree. Will definitely add this to my Christmas traditions!
