Ashur is starting The Unworthy
Just found out this has a hold on it, so it's jumping to the front of the fiction queue!

The Unworthy

Ashur
Ashur is starting All the Living and the Dead
I apparently read this in 2023 and have no memory of it. That isn't a great sign, but I think it's more indicative of the quality of my memory than the quality of the book itself. I am enjoying it, so I shall re-read it, that (presently) rare reading behavior (for me).

Not just invertebrates, but in this work, she speaks of, with, about, for, mollusks

I have never seen an author approach invertebrates in this fashion.

Ashur
Ashur is on page 15 of 260 of Persona
After having to return it to the library, I purchased a copy. Ironically, this means the reading priority has shifted a bit to the "Less Pressing But Still Very Interested" Book Pile, but I will probably be reading it soon.

Persona

Ashur
Ashur is starting Scream / Queen: Poems
Borrowed from the Queer Liberation Library, (www.queerliberationlibrary.org) which has a fantastic collection of poetry that I've only sometimes been able to get through state-level interlibrary loans.

I've only looked at poetry thus far and am excited to look into other genres/categories of book. What a resource!

Scream / Queen: Poems

Ashur
Ashur is starting Boyish: Poems
hahaha i still can't find this book in my house, so I ended up paying for it: my shame is boundless.

However, I'm still determined to find this volume, read it, enjoy, and try to return it to the lending library, if it hasn't already been deleted from the system.

Ashur is on page 50 of 369 of How to Tell When We Will Die: On Pain, Disability, and Doom
I don't know why it's going so slowly for me, but I feel this is a resonant text for me.

I...can't find the book!! It was due on January 6th! I already contacted the lending library and they were understanding, but I feel like the worst.

I hope I find it, I check out things because I want to read them...

Ashur is starting How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures
All recreational book reading is currently on hold as I careen violently toward the end of the semester and possibly the completion of my MLIS/MS-ILS/whatever it's called this week. December 11th will be a day of celebration, I hope.
