I read Tuesdays with Morrie recently. It was sad but also uplifting. 😊

I agree...It’s definitely one of my favorite books a recently read😊as well as When breath becomes air.

July was a slow reading month.   I found this book in my TBR bookcase, but as I started realized by my notes in it that I have read it before.  The author dropped French words in it and I had to look them up for translations and added those in the margins.  Since I had no memory of it, I read  her book again.   May Sarton was a novelist and poet.  She loved men and women, had a parrot for a pet, and socialized with a wide variety of people.  She wrote about her writing, other writers' works, friends, lovers, gardening, feminism, and her own philosophical thoughts.  Even though it was written in 1973, I still found it to be an interesting read, maybe more memorable this time? lol

I am not actually flagging, but I have heard of flagging culture and was curious to know what it was all about. This was a super short read, and honestly felt more like picking up a zine, but it fulfilled my curiosity! If you've heard of the hanky code or cruising, this book is related to that. Another non-fic read for me! How unusual lol I've been slogging at this book for like maybe a year already. It was interesting and at times invoked some skepticism in me, but overall I left having learned a bit. Towards the end it was a bit repetitive, but I would recommend the first 2/3rds of so of the book if you're curious about cults or linguistics patterns. I picked this up because I was enchanted by the cover (I know,  I know). I haven't read the other books in the series and I skipped the first chapter, which helped. I did like parts of the characters, though the plot development felt like a D&D campaign with the way it jumped from place to place. Wasn't really my thing, but I could see it working better for someone else who does enjoy that style of pacing. 
The Witchboy series

Coming BackJessi Zabarsky
I finally finished books two and three of the Witchboy series, which I really loved! This could definitely do well with a book four, though that does not seem likely to appear any time soon >:(Another great graphic novel. I very much enjoyed this enchanted world and its largely metaphorical narrative. It would be worth rereading and if I ever catch it at the book store I may be tempted to get my own copy of it!

Top 10 THEN VS NOW

THEN 
(Till I was 18)
NOW
(Early 20s


What's wild to me is that the years aren't too far off . . . and yet:
. . . zero overlap. Excuse you? And none from 'then' are on my shelf anymore . To be fair, I do still like Six of Crows and The Illuminae Files (I checked every series on that list before unhauling). I only got rid of them because I won't re-read them anymore. All of the beats I love in Six of Crows are already in works I have found since but also love more. Illuminae File because although it's multimedia format is part of its point, I now find that process a little tedious to read.
