Charise is 20% done with Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot
So far an excellent read on being a more inclusive feminist.

Charise is 16% done with When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing
Abandoning this. Another mediocre business-focused self-help manual. Quickly spiraled into not-so-helpful generalizations. Maybe I didn’t give it enough of a chance...?

When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing

Charise
Charise is 45% done with Jagannath
Falling in love with Tidbeck’s writing. Ursula K. Le Guin describes it best: “I have never read anything like Jagannath. Karin Tidbeck’s imagination is recognizably Nordic, but otherwise unclassifiable–quietly, intelligently, unutterably strange. And various. And ominous. And funny. And mysteriously tender. These are wonderful stories.”

Also impressive that she translated her stories from Swedish to English herself.

Don’t think I’ll finish this. Was fine as an audiobook for the road, but he’s especially self-absorbed in this one.
