Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito
Rate this book
Clear rating
This was a random Libby audiobook find, and I had no idea what it was about. It is so… deliciously awful? Deliciously as in “dost thou wish to live deliciously?” It’s satirical and funny, macabre, morbid, probably severely offensive to most non-horro ...more

Mexikid by Pedro Martín

I bought this forever ago and forgot about it, and read it all in a couple of days. I think if you have a Mexican-American background, it’s entertaining and relatable, from caring for Abuelito to silly Mexican toys to gritos and chilaquiles. I really ...more

I’m glad I didn’t know anything about this book going in - it’s not a thriller or even a story about murder. It’s about misogyny and women’s relationships and food, and deciding what is enough for you, and the difficulty of choosing to live how you w ...more

I guess technically I didn’t finish this since I skimmed most of it. Nothing groundbreaking for me in here.

Delight by J.B. Priestley
Rate this book
Clear rating
I took my time with this one, reading an essay or two at night over a few months. I loved these small glimpses of delight from an otherwise curmudgeonly old writer in the 40s... it encourages me to continue collecting my own moments of delight!

The Dry Heart by Natalia Ginzburg
Rate this book
Clear rating
I can’t decide how much I liked this book… a lot? A little? It’s so simply written, from the point of view of a naive young woman who murders her husband and then describes how she got to that point. It’s spare and painful, and somehow not much happe ...more
