An odd sort of beach read, but thus is the world we find ourselves in

While I wait for a Navola sequel, I’ll be reading Masha Gessen

What I’ve pulled to read in 2025.

With deportation sadly back in the news cycle, I’m revisiting the work of Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, who is such a powerful voice for the undocumented.

Another book I read and enjoyed. I’ll probably re-read this one this year. IYKYK

Anyway, here is a book I really enjoyed reading in 2024

Still completely taken with this book. I read so many books in 2024 that I was going to need for 2025.

Otherwise how will I maintain my hobby of posting about books and note taking ☹️

Tell me how I work for PENGUIN Random House and my husband is receiving little penguin chocolates from the biotech company he works for? Where are my penguin chocolates?

DEFY comes out January 14th, and I can’t wait to recommend it. You can preorder it now. (I love a good nonfiction read).

Have eaten my weight in cookies today. My contribution being the shortbread with buttercream icing at the front.

Wall painting and baking cookies for a work holiday party all in one weekend really was a choice…

I did it. I painted one wall…. Just four more to go.

Come hell or high water this millennial gray is going to be painted over today

What I’m reading in this upside down world. Gripping from the first line. #teamprh #currentread

Things I am incredibly excited about? This galley of the latest Karla Cornejo Villavicencio. I cannot wait to reread this in hard copy form, but I’ll have to because it’s at home and I’m in Whistler.

Still my favorite novel I’ve read that came out in 2023. From the flap copy I didn’t think it would be for me, but that flap copy absolutely did not capture the complexity and beauty of this novel. #teamprh

Could still be found reading West Heart Kills on Sunday morning. #booklover #reader #teamprh

#helloworld I’m Sophia, and I like books and stationery. I’m a former academic with a Ph.D. In Comparative Literature and now I work in publishing at Penguin Random House on the DEI team. That’s a little about me. Who are you?
