Rachel’s Comments (group member since Feb 02, 2025)

Rachel’s comments from the Mass Center for the Book 2025 Reading Challenge group.

I added more books that fit March's prompt to the group bookshelf, on top of the many MCB already recommended on www.massbook.org/readingchallenge. While a big vague, there are so many interesting books that fit the definition of marginalized!

I was between Batman: Year One and My Best Friend's Exorcism and chose the latter... but it was a bad choice because I'm still reading it!

Some books I've tried for this month's prompt and decided against reading altogether:
- American Scary: A History of Horror, from Salem to Stephen King and Beyond by Jeremy Dauber
- D.C. Trip by Sara Benincasa
- Escape from Aleppo by N.H. Senzai
- The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II by Denise Kiernan
- How to Tell Toledo from the Night Sky by Lydia Netzer
- In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Erik Larson
- Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town by Jon Krakauer
- The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon
- North of Boston by Elisabeth Elo
- Of All the Gin Joints: Stumbling through Hollywood History by Mark Bailey
- The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure
- Verona Comics by Jennifer Dugan
- Y: Oppenheimer, Horseman of Los Alamos by Aaron Tucker

And some still on my list (fingers crossed):
- Berlin by Jason Lutes
- Networks of New York: An Illustrated Field Guide to Urban Internet Infrastructure by Ingrid Burrington
- Okinawa by Susumu Higa
- Warner Bros.: Hollywood's Ultimate Backlot by Steven Bingen
- The Witches: Salem, 1692 by Stacy Schiff

I don't know why I am having such trouble finding something to read, but I did get to remove 14 books from my tbr so there's that :D
