"Wherever you go, there you are."
Just finished listening to Educated by Tara Westover. I read way more fiction than non-fiction but I am enjoying reading more memoirs lately. This was really riveting.

Re-reading both of these for book clubs! I think both are five-star reads, and I'm really enjoying them both again. Amina Al-Sirafi audiobook is amazing. Also I'm picking up a ton of foreshadowing in Foundryside that shows up in later books in the trilogy.

Back in the weird and wonderful world of the Cities of the Weft. I don't know if reading the whole trilogy will provide answers to all the questions I have, but I'm along for the ride.

I feel like I interrupted a staff meeting when I took these photos!

Reading two VERY different books this week, but one thing they have in common is that they are about children of Nigerian immigrants in English-speaking countries.

Listening to Dulce Sloan's audiobook biography. Comedians do the best audiobooks of their biographies. She's so enjoyable and fun to listen to.

Finished the latest Charlie Stross. Nice to be back in Bob’s time before the New Management takes over. Loved the meta-series humor in this one!

Need to figure out how to see more cat pictures here. I figured I’d add one of my own.

My current read - took me a bit to get into it but now I'm really enjoying it.

This book takes place in 1970,when pregnant teen girls are sent to a home to give birth in secret and put their babies up for adoption. There is a bit of supernatural horror in this one, but like many of his other horror stories, the real horror is really how society treated these girls. 5/5
