Djinns by Fatma Aydemir
4.25/5
This book was fascinating and informative. I learned a lot about Kurds and Turks and the experiences of Turkish immigrants in Germany.

Book 42 of 2025
The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas
4/5
I don’t usually read horror (although this wasn’t scary at all imo) so it was a fun departure from my norm. It was moody and dark and all around enjoyable. #booksky

The Sunflower Boys by Sam Wachman
4.75/5
This book knocked my socks off. It starts out as a gentle, queer coming-of-age story in Ukraine and then it explodes into fear, violence, desperation, and survival with the Russian invasion. I raced through it. #booksky

This book was good but I think light, standalone fantasy isn't for me.

The Elements by John Boyne
2.5/5
I almost didn’t read this book. I was shocked this summer when Boyne proudly revealed himself to be a TERF. I removed the book from my TBR. But then a friend was reading it and asked my opinion so I thought, Ugh fine, I’ll get it from the library.

Well this was a pick me up this week! And I was at work so don’t judge my clothes while Ms. Baranski was the picture of taste and elegance (as always!). 😍😍

Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher

This was the first Kingfisher book I’ve read and it was…fine. Light and engaging but ultimately pretty forgettable. I’m not mad at it but I wouldn’t go out of my way to seek out more by this author. #booksky

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

This might be my favorite fiction of 2025. Just an extraordinary work. It’s told in letters written and received by a woman in her 70s and it’s just so human. I can’t recommend it enough. #booksky

I put off reading this book because I didn’t know if I had the emotional capacity to read about grave injustices at this particular time but I’m so glad I finally read it. Bryan Stevenson is a true American hero. #booksky

The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey

I *loved* this book. It’s a dystopic alternate history set in the UK in the 1970s. It’s dark and mysterious and weird and sometimes a little funny and surprisingly tender. Highly recommend. #booksky

A Little Devil In America by Hanif Abdurraqib

Since Abdurraqib is a poet, this book can best be described as an ode to Black culture. It’s beautifully written and endlessly fascinating.

Invisible Child by Andrea Elliott

After the ‘24 election, I took a break from NF because I honestly couldn’t stand any more reality, especially about painful subjects. But I’m glad I feel strong enough to handle it again because this shit is IMPORTANT! This is a must read.

The Women on Platform Two by Laura Anthony

This was a quick, engaging read about the Irish Women’s Liberation movement in the early 70s. I had no idea that birth control was outlawed until 1980 and then only available to married women or for limited medical reasons.
