Nice! Great roundup of reads.📚 I also read and enjoyed The Alchemist this year.

It was a great read! Glad you also enjoyed it.

Omg adored this as a kiddo.💙

Libby, Hoopla, and Internet Archive have been great resources to borrow books (I’m a big fan of trying before buying.) Everything having a due date helps. I also started the Iliad early in the spring and recently got the motivation to finish.

Knowing his biography adds another layer of context to Lily’s world in Telegraph Club, specifically how science, politics, and identity all tangled together in 1950s America.

David Lynch’s Dune is so fun! It’s not perfect, but it’s made with heart and has so many stunning elements and set pieces. Worst has got to be the new War of the Worlds. More like War of the Product Placement.

Insightful breakdown.
