this month i read...
less is lost, by andrew sean greer (i really liked the first book in what is now a series - less - and this is a follow up, though it's not necessary for you to have read the first book. we follow our main character on a jaunt around the country as he contemplates his relationship with his father and with his partner. i enjoyed but wasn't particularly moved by this one - it might have fallen victim to the 10-pages-a-night-before-you-fall-asleep curse, where one can't realllllly get into a book when reading in those chunks. liked but didn't love.)
lessons in chemistry, by bonnie garmus (this was a book club pick and i know it's HOT right now but i was able to get a copy of the book from the library, and i really enjoyed it. quirky characters, well written, no other books out there exactly like it. the cover design makes me think it's being pitched as a beach read, but it was so much better than that! recommend.)
the best of me, by david sedaris (i listened to this audiobook, a collection of his stories from across the span of his career. some i'd heard before, others i hadn't, but i just love david sedaris's writing and thoroughly enjoyed this listen!)
