This book would have been so much more entertaining in the hands of an author like Mary Roach.

Book Review: Lustful Appetites by Rachel Hope Cleves
What if I told you that a book about food and sex, two of the more enjoyable things in life, was actually kind of boring?
Book Review: Keep Going by Austin Kleon
This is my third read of Keep Going (more on that later). I read it when it first came out, then again during lockdown, and I recently felt like it was time to revisit it in the face of Trump and Musk’s fascist government and how it’s crushing a lot of people’s desire to make and share art.
Book Review: World of Wonders by Aimee Nezhukumatathil
I’ve come to really enjoy collections of short essays, in all formats. Whether it’s an ebook, an audiobook, or a print book, they’re a great way to fit in just a little bit of reading during a time where you might otherwise scroll social media.
Book Review: Liberated by Kaz Rowe
Since I just read and reviewed two non-fiction graphic novels in a row, I guess I really like this combination of genre and format.
Book Review: Wake by Rebecca Hall and Hugo Martinez
This is a book that is less about “history” as in a collection of past events, and more about “history” as in the study of past events, and the body of knowledge created by that study.
Book Review: Born of Fire and Rain by M.L. Herring

Book Review: Femina by Janina Ramirez
There’s so much interesting stuff in history, you just have to know where to look for it.
Book Review: Wild by Amy Jeffs
The book felt like nothing as I was reading it, and I suspect two months from now, I’ll see the title on my reading log and have to struggle to remember what book it even was.
Book Review: Homewaters by David B. Williams
Because I believe that anything I love is worth learning more about, I borrowed Homewaters by David B. Williams from the library.
