I read some books in June

I don't typically read that much in the summer, but it's been epidemic. I think I actually left off talking about books in March, so since then.


Clyde Fans by Seth

Tales from the Inner City by Shaun Tan

The Autobiography of Ben Franklin: Oh the shopping list.

The Outsiders by SE Hinton: Roz was shocked that I'd never read this before, nor heard of it.

The Book of X by Sara Rose Etter: That meat mine.

Permanent Record by Mary HK Choi: This was cute.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell: Yup finally read it, the end was good.

Before Her by Jacqueline Woodson

The Endometriosis Source Book: Eat soy, don't eat soy. Eat grain, NO GRAINS. Entirely unhelpful. Really the way to go is to only eat avocados and fruit.

This is How You Lose the Time War. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Swamplandia. ONE STAR. Really. You torture, rape, and kill all your female characters AS A WOMAN AUTHOR.

Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami: His best book yet and probably my best book of the year. Such suspense!

I loved Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell!

Yessss This is How You Lose the Time War was wonderful. I'm so glad it won a thing, I was worried not enough people were going to get to read it.

Also +1 to fuck Swamplandia. Lots of people recommended this to me when it came out because the setting would resonate with me. And it did, but also I just felt bad when I finished the book.
