A perfect paranormal queer romance. Themes of grief, love, dignity and gender inclusivity, Jewish cultural appreciation, and the classic conflict of loving your family even if you don’t like them. I loved it! 💙📚

Recursion by Blake Crouch

DANG. This was a great read. My first foray into his writing, and I loved it! Plot was intriguing and thrilling, with a dash of mystery and sci-fi that felt realistic and terrifying at the same time. Possibly the best read of the year!

Went looking for a new pair of walking shoes, trying to go for quality and simultaneously be a little thrifty… and was begrudgingly staring down a hefty price tag.
Swung by the kids section and walked out with shoes half the price and just as comfy! WHOOO!!
