guys, apparently i am horrible about telling you what i've read. but i *do* want to tell you, so i just need to get my act together and write my couple sentences and share this. here we go!
in march i read:
turtles all the way down, by john green (i have other favorite john green books, but this one was good and worth reading - but if you've never read a book by him, start with something else.)
the sun and her flowers, by rupi kaur (this is her second book of poetry and i love her writing. tore through this and i know it's the kind of book i will actually read again.)
the rules do not apply, by ariel levy (i underlined this line:
"One day you are very young and then suddenly you are thirty-five and it is Time. You have to reproduce, or else. By that point, many of my friends had already been working on their reproductive ambitions for quite a while."
so yeah. 35 over here. i guess i share this line to tell you that the author was, for parts of the book, in a similar place as i am in the span of my life, so i related to a lot of what she was talking about. i loved her voice. the story of her trip to mongolia was horrific, and i would actively NOT recommend this book to anyone who has had a miscarriage. but i'm really glad i read it - i sped through it on my spring break trip!)
braving the wilderness, by brene brown (this was another spring break read, in the claire-goes-outside-and-looks-inward spring break trip i took to dripping springs, tx. a lot of it was really similar to what she said when i heard her talk this fall on her book tour, but i was glad to have the book in hand to organize her arguments and be a resource i can go back to.)
