The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
The Seven Year Slip

I tried to get into this, it seems like everyone loves it, but the unbelievable dialog was too much. When a young male chef says, in conversation, “a rich cheesecake you dream about hours after. Soft candlelight, a plate of cheese, and good wine. The ...more

How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay by Jenny  Lawson
Rate this book
Clear rating
Sometimes you find a writer who just GETS you, and can capture how you think and feel, and be honest and real about dealing with it. That’s Jenny Lawson for me!

The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI by Cory Doctorow
Rate this book
Clear rating
I thought this was going to be about avoiding becoming a reverse centaur, and how to use AI so it works for you, rather than the other way around. It turned out to be about the AI bubble, and bubbles in general, and investing and hype and media. Not ...more

God,that was painful. But still really, really good. I listened to the audiobook, and I was constantly angry, agitated, on edge until I finished it, but I just had to finish it. I had to know that this woman finally accepted herself as a whole and va ...more

How to Live Korean by Soo Kim
Rate this book
Clear rating
Super quick, fun read about Korean culture. It’s already dated (published in 2020), but still helpful in learning about weddings and holidays and families and education.

We Burned So Bright

Clear rating
Maybe like 3.5 stars? It was a quick read, and I tend to love end of the world books, and it was lovely, though a little… precious? Like, young adult maybe, very sweet, everyone was very eloquent and thoughtful, but I finished it, so.

Inside the Box by David   Epstein
Rate this book
Clear rating
I listened to this book in a day - lots of great nuggets and reminders that I took note of. The last section sort of veered off and didn’t seem to connect with the rest of the book, and it didn’t have a nice “here’s what to do next” ending, but still ...more

I listened to this one, a random pick - it was silly and heavy-handed, almost horror-grotesque but not always, just inconsistent and weird, but I finished it, so I guess it wasn’t too bad? There were some interesting callouts on being a heard, believ ...more
