My July book was Cloud Cuckoo Land, by Anthony Doerr. This is now in my top 5 favorite books of all time. So hard to describe, combining my love of magical realism with truly compassionate perspectives on the many paths we all have in life, all with a great pace and grand imagery. 1000/10 #booksky

Almost finished with There Are Rivers In The Sky, by Elif Shafak. I really like it. It's always healing to remember and show gratitude for the inexpressibly fundamental role that water plays in our lovely world. Lovely story-telling across timelines too, and that's my favorite ❤️

I Cheerfully Refuse, by Leif Enger. It broke my heart a little, and also helped me see how good people can be, even as some folks are so driven towards evil. If you like water, nature, humanity, or have ever stepped foot on a boat, you'll love it!

Just finished Moon of the Turning Leaves by Waubgeshig Rice, and I'm so happy that it was my first read of 2025! I especially loved the beautiful father daughter relationship, and how I felt completely immersed in the landscape of the story. Thank you @waub.bsky.social

A hope for 2025:
Write your story
Do something beyond work
Let love be love and not labor
Remember all who came before
