Finished reading: Life After Doom by Brian D. McLaren π A surprisingly meaningful read for me. Especially the conversation on reframing hope: not as getting our desired outcome, but as the chance to live out our deepest convictions and valuesβno matter the outcome.
3 is good.
Finished reading: The Golden Enclaves: A Novel (The Scholomance Book 3) by Naomi Novik π Whole series. Some will think of that other magical school series… but really, read for its system of magic, which makes you think about how we organize around scarcity, in-groups, and a desire to hide the systemic implications of our comfortable lives on the suffering of others. Really.

Six months. Two teeth. One Grace.
Finished reading: The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin π Was the metaphor heavy? Yes. Was it great? Yes. Question I had: does everyone resonate most with the character of the brorough they lived in longest?
This is Grace. Sheβs neat.
Finished reading: The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker π Loved this more than the first book, somehow.
Every year, weβre not entirely sure that spring will come. And then it does.

These seem fine. Just the humans wilting this week.
Finished reading: Native by Kaitlin B. Curtice π
Slightly cooler morning with a new pen and inkβ¦ getting ready for the day. π
Finished reading: The Stone Sky (The Broken Earth, 3) by N. K. Jemisin πI’m in a sad place about parenting and loss, but everything about this was so good.
