I just finished How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell this morning, which I really loved and highly recommend. It's not an actual how-to book, it's more thinking about the connection between social media/being productive/capitalism and how stepping back from that means stepping INTO something else-- ideally something IRL like sitting in a park and listening to birds.

And I finished a short novella that I didn't realize was a prequel to another book, but the sort that should be read AFTER that book and not before...if that makes sense. It was The Twelfth Enchantment by K.L. Noone, a queer fantasy romance which was very sweet. And I will read the other book eventually.

Ooh, the attention economy book sounds great, I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I've been wrestling with my relationship with social media for a while, and I need something to kick me into gear about it!
