pickI mean, it's Sarah Moss so of course it's good!
There were storylines, though, that I would happily have read whole books about and so (unreasonably) feel a little short-changed.

Our final read of the year for #VirginiaBloomsberries is considered her most experimental work. The Waves was published in 1931. It records the individual accounts of six children of their lives and friendship from childhood to adulthood. VW uses the third-person narrative to show their point of view.
I'll be posting the reads for 2026 soon.

pickAnother win for me from Levy. These essays are concise and sharp, on topics ranging from writers and visual artists, to shoes and driving. Listening sent me on a few searches for other books she mentioned. I loved all of these essays, and loved getting a glimpse into this brilliant mind. The audio is also spectacular.
pick(1742) Fielding's follow-up to Shamela continues his critique of Pamela. It's a gender-swapped comedy in which Pamela's brother Joseph resists his female employer's advances. Compared to Shamela, JA has more nuance, more satirical targets, and more than one joke. Of course jokes that worked for his audience often don't work for me: much of it is slapstick, some based on SA. But the humor of character, manners, and wordplay still get laughs from me
It is a trite but true Observation, that Examples work more forcibly on the Mind than Precepts: And if this be just in what is odious and blameable, it is more strongly so in what is amiable and praise-worthy.

#ARichLife Day 10: Cannot wait to read by the #Fireside again as we spend the December holidays in the Bay Area with family.
This month has been such a whirlwind (my week off was at the expense of staying on top of an incredibly stressful time at work, so I paid for that last week), and being at #silentbookclub tonight is the cozy feeling of relief I needed. Books are the best.
