It’s like, what if I don’t connect with this person’s intense struggle to cope with their parent’s passing, or their own fight with cancer, or their shitty childhood? Too much pressure. I always end up putting them off for a looooong time.

I was not sure about it at first, but it won me over by the end. I’m not rushing to read more of her though; it verged on too precious for me (like what you mentioned in the first third: lots of whimsy). Whereas I tried Valente this year (The Girl Who Circumvanigated Fairyland etc: have you read it?) and fell head over heels in love, where I expected it to be twee due to the title. So clearly I as a reader move in mysterious ways. 😉

I just cannot believe that we are halfway thru November already. Where has the year gone? A Face Like Glass sounds great btw!

“I checked the end of Brando Skyhorse’s Take This Man and was pleased to discover that his mother and grandmother are already dead.”

You’re amazing!

I need to do one of thse posts. I have to pick up Jerusalem soon. I sort of struggled with another book by Guy Delisle (maybe Pyongyang) but it was just a bad time for me then.

But I’m thrilled that you did and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Cuckoo Song.
