I read The Guncle by Steven Rowley. While I'm not sure the book will "stick" with me, I enjoyed the read.

I read Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune

I, like Kimberly, also read TJ Klune, but did House in the Cerulean Sea

I read both of Klune’s books mentioned above (The House in the Cerulean Sea and the. under the Whispering Door). I HIGHLY recommend both! They were two of the best books I read last year.

I am listening to Samantha Irby’s “Wow, No Thank You!” And it’s hilarious and wonderful! Also, around 50% of the way through she gives a recipe for “fancy hamburger helper” so it’s also going to work for my “a book with a recipe in it” for the Popsugar reading challenge which was a nice surprise. Irby’s book could also be nontraditional form because it’s short essays.

I read "Still Life" by Sarah Winman. This was my second book by her, and I liked it nearly as much as "Tin Man."

I read and enjoyed Yerba Buena by Nina Lacour.
