What I'm Reading  

What did you recently finish reading?

Adrift: America in 100 Charts by Brette Warshaw
Most recent non-fiction read, and frankly, I found it to be an overwhelmingly depressing and hopeless book. There were no real solutions offered, and the picture painted is a bleak one.

Snow by Orhan Pamuk
Recent read for my Around the World Reading Challenge for Turkey. Ehh, okay, but not really my kind of book. A bit depressing.

The Last Drop by Layla Reyne
MM romance short story with some lovely food and drink descriptions.

The Kingdom of Copper (The Daevabad Trilogy, #2) by S.A. Chakraborty
Finished for book club this week and it was a really solid sequel. Can't wait to read the final book in the trilogy!

What are you currently reading?

The Selected Works of Audre Lorde by Audre Lorde
Current non-fiction read. (though there is also some poetry)

The Scholomance Trilogy by Naomi Novik
Finished my reread of book 1 and am eagerly waiting for my hold to come in on book 2!

What do you think you’ll read next?

Financial Feminist: Overcome the Patriarchy's Bullsh*t to Master Your Money and Build a Life You Love by Tori Dunlap
Next nonfiction read.

Alastair (Sons of the Fallen Book 7) by Jaclyn Osborn
Next MM romance read.

A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James
Next read for my Around the World Reading Challenge for Jamaica.

How are you finding the Audre Lorde book? I read her autobiography years ago, and I thought parts of it were excellent while other aspects could have been more focused. I don't think I've ever gotten around to reading her poetry.

I think I feel similarly about this book. It's a collection of essays & journals + a collection of poetry, and some of the entries I really love, and some don't quite pack the same punch. I haven't got to the poetry yet, but like you, I've not read any of her poetry work, so I'm curious to experience it!
