In March, my gentleman showed me a photo that his friend posted to Instagram: a pile of Elena Ferrante books, with the comment "In a committed relationship." Suddenly, something clicked. This must be the same reason I found myself unable to get into any new books in March. I had a stack of books in my to-read… Continue reading Reading Roundup: March/April 2018

Gaming roundup: Is it spring or what?
Winter is hard. That's my explanation for my recent obsession with mobile games. Usually, mobile games are out of the question for me--my smartphone, now almost two years old, was a freebie and barely has enough memory for the apps I use for my job.

Then I downloaded Carmen Maria Machado's Her Body and Other Parties and devoured it and felt alternately amazing and awful, like drinking… Continue reading Books I Read and Loved in 2017
Reading Roundup: September/October
Read A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I actually finished rereading the day after I posted my midway review in the last roundup. I found that I didn't want to put it down. All Grown Up by Jamie Attenberg. A fast phone read--I read about 40% while minding a boring post at a work event. I had… Continue reading Reading Roundup: September/October
