My September reads, summarized in StoryGraph. Another excellent month of reading and listening to books. Loved Small Rain and Heart the Lover the most. πŸ’™πŸ“š

A terrific novel I recently read that was engrossing and made me laugh and was You Are Here by David Nicholls. Have you read it? I think you might enjoy it. Excellent on audio.

Inspired by @nelnelnellie.bsky.social to share my August 2025 reads, as recorded in StoryGraph. What a satisfying month of reading. I loved several of these. πŸ’™πŸ“š

Just read your latest newsletter and want to let you know I appreciate it. I’m feeling much the same way about the state of things, which you articulated well. Also looking forward to reading Notes on an Execution thanks to your suggestion. Here’s hoping for a Goofy-Ass Fall.

A library patron turned me on to Chop Shop last year. We had the DVD on the shelf but I was unfamiliar with the movie. What a gift. Loved it.

Loved THE GOLDEN HOUR, the new memoir by @specktor.bsky.social

β€œPower? Power is just the crude manipulation of other people to selfish, stupid, or violent ends, but the illusion of power is greater yet, because dream is stronger than reality, and fear, like love, is stronger even than death.”

We bought a beautiful stone bird bath at Skye Nursery. It was not cheap but it has been worth it. It’s beautiful and draws so many birds to our yard.

If you ever find me with $3000 in cash on me it's because I'm going to the bookstore

Just finished this terrific novel this morning! I will admit I had to look up a number of words while reading it, including mondegreen.
