I Recently Finished Reading: Sunrise on the Reaping, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle
A Book I Want to Reread: I love to reread and often say I read new books to find something worth reading 100 more times. I'm currently (already) rereading Sunrise on the Reaping. Some favorite rereads: La Belle Sauvage, In the Dream House, Redwall, How to Keep House While Drowning. I especially love rereading audiobooks.
Some Published Titles From My To Be Read List: The Refusal of Work: The Theory and Practice of Resistance to Work, Jewcy: Jewish Queer Lesbian Feminisms for the Twenty-First Century
A Book Not-Yet-Published I'm Excited About: (I haven't been keeping up with this, oops.)
Related Book News I've Got My Eye On: Netflix never actually announced that they dropped the Redwall adaptation, right? So I've still got my hopes up…

My Favorite Book Genre(s): picture books (fiction); picture book biographies; microhistory/deep dives; contemporary romance; thriller; horror
A Book I Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s):
• picture books (fiction): A Map into the World
• picture book biographies: Swimming with Sharks: The Daring Discoveries of Eugenie Clark
• microhistory/deep dive: The Secret History of Bigfoot: In Search of a North American Monster
• contemporary romance: Knit One, Girl Two

A Genre I'm Interested in Trying Out: I'll try almost anything once.

Books/Genres I'm Interested in Discussing/Chatting About: I'm open to anything, really, but definitely say "hi" if you love picture books!
