“If you are a smart woman, you cannot stand by and remain sane once you fully understand, as a smart person does, the constraints of this world on a woman.”

The Man Who Saw Everything by Deborah Levy.
if you want to read this, don’t look at the reviews first, and try to read it in a day or two (it’s not long). Levy is a master storyteller.

Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead.
“We’re all here telling our stories in NDN time.
But the ironic thing I’ve learned about NDN time is that it’s an elixir of an excuse and a toxin of a measurement.
It’ll kill you, you know, if you love it too dearly.”

Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips.
“You believe you keep yourself safe, she thought. You lock up your mind and guard your reactions so nobody, not an interrogator or a parent or a friend, will break in.”

The Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. A dystopian novel written in 1993 and set in 2025 is as uncomfortable to read as you would imagine.

The Innocents by Michael Crummey. Like Alistair McLeod but for Newfoundland! A story about two orphaned siblings on the northern coast of the island in the early 19th century - how they survive and their understand of the world.

Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo. Last year’s Booker Prize winner is a must read. Each chapter a short story providing a deep dive into the life of a woman/NB person, and all together it paints a vivid picture of the African diaspora.

In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado. (Yes it took me 11 days to finish another book. Hard to focus.)
“The truth is, there is no better place to live than in the shadow of a beautiful, furious mountain.”

How To Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell.
I cannot recommend this enough, and no, it’s not a social media bashing screed. It’s thoughtful, researched, and nuanced and now is the perfect time to read it.
