I‘m excited to explore these titles in my #AuldLangSpine list from @Chelsea.Poole ! Heart the Lover and Pet are already high on my TBR, and I am reconsidering Flesh, which I had decided against, but I‘m not familiar with most of the others. The tagged book and Raising Hare are both calling to me! Thanks Chelsea, I‘m looking forward to comparing notes with you. I hope you are finding interesting things on my list too 😊

email list “Hello! I work with authors to help them promote their books and build engaged email lists. I‘d love to share tips that really grow readers!“ 2h
Erinreadsthebooks That is a great list! 😍 2h
Chelsea.Poole I know not everyone enjoyed Flesh, but I threw it on there because I found it to be such a compulsive reading experience and so different. I‘m surprised to hear you haven‘t read Pet since two of her others appear on your list. My first go with Chidgey and I‘m ready to read more! Both Axeman and Fishbone were the two I immediately recognized. Oh and Heart the Lover is quite a heartbreaker but v well done, I thought. About to post your list now! 26m
CBee I almost put Tilt on mine as I really did love it! I should have 😂🤷‍♀️ now

#AuldLangSpine2026 list from @JamieArc 💗

I love it! There are at least 3 books on here that I have read and loved which just tells me that @monalyisha nailed it yet again. I‘m so intrigued by the title of the tagged book. It might be one I read for January! 🎉

Karisa A little about me: I‘m a 6th grade art and history teacher. I have a bunch of pets (3 cats, a dog, 2 classroom guinea pigs) and two almost grown kids. I love to travel, go to museums, see art… 2d
monalyisha I've gifted The Change to many a friend/family member! Such a cathartic read for the times. 2d
Karisa @monalyisha I‘m not familiar with that one. Need to go dig deeper! Thanks! 2d

TheBookHippie I still think about Zorrie! 2d
Karisa @TheBookHippie Me too! I had to go back to my Goodreads to see we‘d read it Spring of 2024. Seemed like just this year! 2d
JamieArc @monalyisha Yes to The Change being a cathartic read! It was the perfect time for me to read it. I‘ll look forward to seeing what you think of you get to it @Karisa 1d
JamieArc @TheBookHippie It was just such a quiet, lovely book. That‘s what I remember feeling, anyway. I should read it again soon. 1d
Karisa @JamieArc Already grabbed it from Libby. Might need to read it a tiny bit before 2026 if someone else requests it. I can‘t believe it‘s rating on Amazon. Like 16k people and 4.5 stars 🌟 1d

A few of the books I‘m working on this week. The God and the Gumiho is a repeat. I‘m reading it with my daughter.

This was a lovely introspective memoir about living with depression & using nature as a balm for the soul. He opens up about his struggle with depression & how he found solace in taking nature walks (along with therapy & medication) to get on a healing journey. Each chapter focuses on an aspect in nature & relates to a life experience, while also giving solid facts about each animal or organism. His writing is very lyrical & poetic in the best way

September/October #ReadingBracket2025 Nonfiction
Kelly Bishop just stole my heart and the quarter final spot. George Takei's graphic memoir was a close second. October's winner was the soothing nature memoir, Something in the Woods Loves You

I admire his transparency about his anxiety - it sounds so debilitating and exhausting
I‘m glad he thanks his wife becasue holy shit she lifts and carries the family often

Tamra Women do a lot of heavy invisible lifting.💜 4w

Was hoping I might be able to use this for some of the teens I work with but it‘s too “much” for adolescent community mental health. Kate Bornstein is straight up truth.

Bookwomble You might, perhaps, find the tagged book is a more age-appropriate reflection on teen depression and suicidal ideation. 1mo
Sleepswithbooks @bookwomble - Thank you! I will absolutely check it out!!! 1mo
Bookwomble @Sleepswithbooks I should say it does have some swearing in it, but nothing, I seem to recall, too extreme. 1mo

Working my way through my first book by Yiyun Li. It‘s not bad, but I want memoir to invite me inside the author‘s emotional truth, and I don‘t think this one has done that. While I can understand why Li maintains a somewhat academic distance, given the subject matter, I still wish it felt a little less like one of those documentaries where the narrator speaks blandly while unobtrusive piano music plays over a montage of archival footage.
