I read Spawning Season (Joseph Osmundson's memoir) based on your recommendation.

One of the best memoirs I've read.

I'll get American War from the library soon.

I love this--Joe will be so pleased to hear. It is such a gorgeous book, and needs more readers!

First, your Brick purchase inspired mine! But I have yet to start using it... because one of my toxic traits is buying something, being excited about it, and then letting it sit there for a bit before I take it out because... delayed gratification? I thrive in anticipation (no, thanks)? Or it's just a weird function of my ADHDism?

Second, thanks for the shoutout! 🥹❤️ You have indeed been through every iteration with me! I am really proud of the book and can't wait for it to be out in the world!

Third, as you know, I just finished Rene Denfeld's phenomenal new novel, The Talking Bone. Highly recommend!

I am about to start Lauren Hough's Monster of A Land which I am very excited about, as well as Shannon Sanders' The Great Wherever.

I absolutely have to read Rene's new book--as we have discussed it got ALL THE STARS and I am such a fan of her work. And Lauren's is also on my TBR pile; I remain obsessed with LEAVING ISN'T THE HARDEST THING. Super excited for both!

I 100% get the delayed gratification or whatever it is we do--I think Ori opened this one, hahaha
