This is one of my favorite memoirs this year! 5⭐️ all the way!
Gagne realized she was different than other kids early on. She had a deep need to act out against other kids and break laws, but yet she felt apathetic emotionally. She found a checklist for sociopathy and realized she fit it to a T. With her deep intellectual curiosity, she began to work out ways to self-treat her condition. This led to a PhD and work with other sociopaths.
In post-apocalyptic Lake Superior area, some infrastructure remains, but the population is significantly reduced. Rainey and his wife are making their way when a stranger arrives, setting events in motion. There‘s definitely a plot here, but this is much more about the relationships between the characters. I really liked this, and I love the cover.
Found this in search of #Camplitsy nominees. It‘s also this month‘s #bookspin.
Despite the title, this is not a crime story. People go to this restaurant to find that one special meal from their life. It felt very japanese. I liked the pace and found the detuction fascinating. I would have enjoyed it even more if I knew more about japanese food.
The Spouse asked me if we have any plans for the long weekend.
The pic is my plan 😅
All three of these are due back in seven days and can't be renewed. 😬 So I'll be reading James in advance of #CampLitsy
The irises in our backyard are just gorgeous right now! On the left, #CampLitsy24 June picks and some from the longlist. It was an embarrassment of riches as always!
In the center, the two I picked up on #IndependentBookstoreDay. One Japanese in translation plus a short story collection (of course). Have you read the Japanese one @BarbaraBB ?
On the right, some additional library finds!
I‘m thrilled to be hosting your August #camplitsy24 books!
First, we‘ll be heading off to Ireland to read about 4 gifted sisters in The Alternatives, then heading to the Pacific Northwest to read Bear, which was our second most voted for book, after James.
We‘ll confirm all of the dates for each book shortly.
That‘s all 6 books revealed now, what do you think of our final two, and of the full selection for camp? 🏕️

I loved the tagged one and bailed on both others. I feel so restless. Excited about the #CampLitsy love and also anxious about the state of the world.
Sorry honey. I don‘t know what happened. I was running errands all day, was headed home, and realized I needed to go to the bathroom and there was just happened to be Barnes and noble so I ran in to go to the bathroom and I thought I would pick up the #camplitsy books for June and something happened. I think I blacked out, maybe I got sucked into the vortex. Now we have 7 books, a tea towel and a puzzle. In my defense it was also raining.
