It was incredible and it broke my heart. As a big movie nerd too, the casting that they have announced is just impeccable and I can’t wait. Though the book is pretty dense which leads me to believe they are going to have to make some big cuts for the movie. I wonder how they will do it.

I haven’t read TBOSAS, just watched the movie. I definitely want to read it now because the way everything is connecting is so satisfying to me.

Read songbird and snakes then reaping, then the rest again. I forgot how good they were. Haven't seen songbird and snakes movie yet and definitely want to
 
Just finished reading "When Haru Was Here" by Dustin Thao and it made me weep.
Just started reading Siren Queen by Nghi Vo and really like the author's style already.

I just finished I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman. I am at a loss for words only because the words I do have would give away some of the ending.

Is this a positive loss for words? This has been on my TBR for a while so I am glad you reminded me
 
I read I Who Have Never Known Men recently! Pretty good but definitely one of the stranger books I've read.
 
Does anyone have any recs for a good non-fiction book about Chernobyl?

I was a weirdo as a kid and was obsessed when I was younger and I finally found time to watch the HBO mini series but now neurodivergent ADHD brain needs more.

That mini series was phenomenal

Would have watched the whole thing in one day if I hadn't had to work. It was SO informative, in a way I felt like even as a physics dummy with a science background I could understand. I actually immediately watched a Russian documentary from 1987 showing part of the clean up with original footage right after and seeing the real people who did that work was both incredible and chilling.

Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham! I have a few non-fiction books about it at my parents' house (thanks to that mini series) and can't remember what I have right now, but I know I read that one and found it fascinating
 
In July I've read:
- Abundance by Ezra Klein ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism by Eve L. Ewing ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter ⭐⭐ ... maybe ⭐
- The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- No More Tears: the Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson (in progress)

My hold for Sunrise on the Reaping from the library just came through and I am excited to get into that! So far I've read 23 books this year so I think I'm doing great on my goal of replacing doom scrolling with reading! 🎉
