I re-read Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. It is incredible that she could walk the Pacific Crest Trail by herself. And she found herself so it does make you think about your life.
Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's AddictionThe last book I read was "Beautiful Boy," a memoir written by David Sheff about his life and his struggle with his son's drug addiction. It's a melancholy but beautifully written book, and I've learned more about addiction. I always knew that addiction affected the addict's family, but this book really opens your eyes to all things.
The last book I read was Yellowface by R. F. Kuang. Great book! Keeps you at the edge of your seat and leaves you wondering if the main character is a villain, or is right for everything that she did. 👍🏼👍🏼
"Laughable loves" by Milan Kundera. The collection of short stories is brillant but I didn't like its dominant perspective of men.
Reading Lessons in Chemistry. Just OK. Not one of those can't put down books. Need to get back to mystery genre.
OMG I just read The Only One Left by Riley Sager and I was so hooked the whole time. It was so addicting.
The last book I read was "Torchlight Parade" by Jéanpaul Ferro. I don' know if anyone has read this book, but it is a cross between "Doctor Zhivago" and Anthony Doerr's "All the Light We Cannot See." Just a gut wrenching page-turner. I've had to reread it again, which I normally don't do, just because it touched my soul in so many spots. Just lovely.
"The Midnight Raven" by Moore. Really enjoyed it, being on this journey along with the main character, a mix of adventure, learning and personal growth. Well written
Days Without End by Sebastian Barry. Fascinating, gay, trans lead character (Thomas McNulty) orphaned at 13 fighting in Indian and Civil Wars. Actually marries his male partner (john cole) in Grand Rapids between the Wars. The book’s focus is all of his life experiences not just his evolving identity and partner relationship, thus the book is not an LGBTQ+ book. In fact, the book description never mentions this aspect of the story. Being a gay man/trans woman is just part of McNulty’s life and thoughts, not his whole life, as these things should be because no one is just one thing. Life and people are complex characters. Well done Sebastian Barry!
The Things We Leave Unfinished byRebecca Yarros - was a good read but the font the publisher picked for the letters in the book was terrible and made it very hard to read them.
Just read Keys to My heart by Tania Gold. Beautiful book about friendship, love and determnation. Loved the New York scenes over Christmas. Brought back memories. I gave it 5 stars. I actually saw this recommendation from Tiktok Sydney Bookblogger.Keys To My Heart
