My first of these posts, starting just after the 2024 election, listed some folks to follow and some books to read. I am less happy to report my progress on the books has been slow, but following new voices has worked out pretty well. As for the books, I have started and put down both The Jungle and Poverty, By America several times due to the text being overwhelming to my wee heart.
Instead, here are some recommendations for silly little fiction books (they're not that silly) that aren't political at all (they are)!
Babel by R.F. Kuang
The Mercy of Gods by James S.A. Corey
The Lost Journals of Sacajawea by Debra
At year's end, I have read 32 books and finished 31 of them. Some were audiobooks, some were not. I'm pretty happy with that number. Of that, 15 were nonfiction, but the last 6 books I read were Fiction, so that's a pretty good indicator of where I'm at, emotionally. Not that the fiction books were light by any means. I still want to finish at least one of my heavy books before the end of the year, so ... today's goal is to make some progress on it.
Struggling today, but I'll still try to be kind to my neighbors.
