oh boy - terribly behind on logging my reading! here we go to catch back up...in july i read:
wild dark shore, by charlotte mcconaghy (loved this book - this is the third book by this author that i've read, and while all are stand alone books with separate characters and plots and settings, they have this in common: an admiration of the natural world and a strong female protagonist. and they're gorgeously written! if you don't know this author you should.)
supercommunicators, by charles duhigg (i read this as a little professional development over the summer. i folded some pages back and made some notes but ultimately this was not life changing.)
brave new worlds, by salman khan (another professional development read - this was pretty interesting in terms of talking about AI and education and so i'm glad i read it...but it was also an unabashed advertisement for khan academy and sal khan's other ventures and that got pretty distasteful by the end. i don't think this is a necessary read in book form - these ideas are ones you can grab onto from shorter articles.)
the names, by florence knapp (i liked this book - three parallel stories of the same woman taking the same baby to record his name - and picking three different names. does she pick the name her husband wants, she wants, or her older daughter wants? we see her make different choices from here and the life of the new baby change based on what name he's given. i liked the premise a lot and was eager to see how the storylines would play out. this would be a great read to take on a vacation with you!)
