Partially adhd, partially the fact that all the library holds have a habit of coming in at the same time. Loved and Missed - Susie Boyt. Short British novel with a strange and sardonic voice unlike anything Iโve read before. What will the world look like whwn all the water leaves us - Laura van den Berg. Ethereal short stories with a running thread of the monstrous. Pretty sure I got that rec here so thank you if youโre responsible for this! Demon Copperhead - Barbara Kingsolver. Was super skeptical about this but so many people have recommended it at this point I gotta start. Hella Town - Mitchell Schwarzer. Recent history of the planning and development of Oakland. I whip this out every time Iโm over there, but can really only get into the groove in situ, so probably wonโt crack it again until Iโm back.
