I love an essay collection! Bonus points when the author is a millennial and close to my age—the case here. All about 90s pop culture like Disney movies and the Spice Girls, I found this so relatable, entertaining, and informative all at once. My only quibble: can we stop being (perhaps unintentionally?) judgy and condescending about choosing to have or not have children? 3rd book in a row that I encountered this, so maybe it‘s a me-thing.

For a Gen Xer like myself, this book was trip down memory lane of pop culture of that time. The feelings we had when we were young, trying to make sense of the world and our place in it. Abraham Chang takes all of this and creates not only a love story(ies), but a quirky story of family, culture and home. I loved the alternating timelines, the letters from his uncle, and the progression of Young's character reflected in the world around him.

I paused Penguin Parade 1 when we went on hols as it's a bit too fragile to carry, but I'm reading it again, and have added n⁰3 to n⁰2 on the TBR.
Berserker is another 60s/70s SF take on war for me to compare to The Forever War. Looks like a fix up novel from individual short stories.
The Goshawk has been on my radar a long time: now it's on Mount TBR!

George Melly was a TV mainstay when I was growing up: an eccentric jazz singer, raconteur, art critic and social commentator, he always seemed like he would be great fun to know, but possibly difficult to live with. I had that "Ahh!" moment when I saw this. And what a fantastic Beatles cover by Peter Blake ?

Bookwomble ... interesting to compare this to the modern book I read on the topic earlier this year.
[If I read any of these this year, I'll surprise myself! 📚🧗🏻‍♂️]
