So many subcategories that could be their own lists! So, I'm just going to go off the top of my head:
1. Tears We Cannot Stop by Michael Eric Dyson
2. Into the Gray Zone by Adrian Owen
3. what if? by Randall Munroe

Water = Coffee. Coffee = Happiness. Water is essential to happiness.
panI managed to fit in one more book before New Year‘s Eve starts. But I was too impatient to fully appreciate this little book. 52 micro-memoirs, some gems (especially the ones about married life), some I glanced over before moving on. I‘m calling it quits, looking forward to a new reading year and beginning all those new reading challenges!

pickThis essay collection alternately made me feel like it was making me smarter and like it was too smart for me. Sloan is a brilliant writer, whose logical links between seemingly disparate topics within one essay are superbly done. She writes about art, Blackness, family, place, and more. Kiese Laymon puts it better: "Innovative, inspiring, sobering, and absolutely terrifying while daring every other essayist in the country to catch up."
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Reread of a book I absolutely loved first time around. It didn‘t quite hold up, but was still enjoyable enough. I docked a star. Rather than calling it “micro-memoirs,” which I previously thought was so clever, it‘s really mostly personal essays. Kudos to marketing!

On Saturday the sun was shining (unlike now with dangerous, cold wind!) and I headed to the Botanic Garden‘s book fair. I exercised restraint with the books but the cds were free so I couldn‘t help myself. Mainly classical music. Some of the book covers are gorgeous and all in great condition. A bargain as they were mostly $2 each. I enjoyed a Devonshire tea afterwards. I will definitely be back.
