I‘m doing the American cancer society read every day in Feb fundraiser. Normally would feel a bit like cheating since I usually read every day. But as you can see I had some days last month where I didn‘t read anything. I‘m a federal employee (psychologist and researcher). Last few weeks have been chaos.
Halfway through this book. I love this author and the book is really solid. Book within a book that blends literary fiction and science fiction
And it's a wrap. At least January turned out to be a solid reading month in spite of the rest of the month's events.
In the midst of chaos, there are always books. My dad has had another stroke. It is a long story that I am still too exhausted to tell fully. Mom and I are working to get him in a nursing home next week. Idk guys. Life is never fair.

@BarbaraBB and @squirrelbrain I‘d love to hear from you if you have time, but I can‘t promise a quick reply. 😘😘
pickLit-fic meets sci-fi meets meta-fiction, Okorafor's new novel is my first 5⭐ book of 2025. The story is told from various POVs: Zelu, a complicated woman who refuses to be put into a box (& we're pulled deeply in her innermost workings), interviews from family members portraying how different aspects of Zelu are viewed by them, excerpts from Zelu's novel (Rusted Robots). ⭐Because sometimes a story really does have the power to reshape the world.⭐
I‘ve been sick for the past week with the kind of cold that gave me so much sinus pressure, I couldn‘t really read. Finally emerging headache is gone and I can get to this. It‘s so pretty and I love this author‘s work. After struggling with Caledonian road (hard to read about narcissists and corruption right now), I‘m hoping this one will be all that I expect it to be
Prepared to say inside as the snow continues to fall all day and then ushers in the subsequent cold this week.
