The book list 2025



I used the library for most of these. Yay, libraries!

  1. The Drowning Game - Barbara Nickless. Secrets between sisters, spies, defectors, and luxury yachts. Meh.
  2. The Autumn of Ruth Winters - Marshall Fine. Relationships, family, and how we navigate them.
  3. Reader, Come Home - Maryanne Wolf. How the brain works when we read and how this relates to electronic reading.

Late but here...

 I've gotten back into painting postcards again! Here are five I did in South Carolina.

The 2024 book post

  1. Cartographers - Peng Shepherd. I only read 2 pages of it last year, so I am listing it again. There were some nice twists, not all of which were obvious.

  2. Looking After Your Autistic Self - Niamh Garvey. Read the first 47 pages last year. I think it will be what I talk about in therapy for a bit.

  1. Passing for Human - Liana Finck. A graphic novel I picked up at the library. Depressing 

  2. The Three Body Problem - Cixin Liu. Had trouble getting into it. Well written though.

  3. The Cloven book 1 - Garth Stein & Matthew Southworth. Weird comic about lab-grown half-human, half-goat kids.

  4. Neurotribes - Steve Silberman. Now considered a classic. Felt outdated to me.

  5. Ghost Walk - Melissa Bowersock. A Navajo ghostwalker. A disgraced L.A. cop turned private investigator. Dead children. A boating accident.

  6. Coffee, Milk & Spider Silk - Coyote JM Edwards. The correct book this time. Cute. Short.

  7. Madame Pommery, Creator of Brut Champagne - Rebecca Rosenberg. A fictionalized account of a real person form 1858. Overly romanticized. Describes wine etc. using language not developed until the 1970s.

  8. Mrs. Jones - William Cain. A horribly written gangster novel.

  9. The Jade Dragon - Garrett Hutson. 1935 Shanghai suspense/spy novel.
