I love this list -- so many gems! Covenant of Water and What Kind of Ancestor are next up for me. And the secret books! I have a few of those stashes tucked about the house too.
Happy reading! I've read a few of these. Currently reading a detective series recently translated from Russian that my dad gave me for Christmas, Richard Hugo's "Triggering Town" (kind of an "on writing" book, especially poetry as he was a poet and writing teacher), and slogging through "The Origin of Capitalism," by Ellen Meiksins Wood.
I LOVE when people share books lists, and I’m intrigued by the idea of making a list of books you intend to read this year. My reading appetite changes so frequently (I have a friend who says it’s best to read what you’re hungry for and that resonates) that it’s hard to imagine deciding what I’d read so far out. But I do keep a list of books I’d like to read soon. Is this type of list something you’ve done in past years?
I’ve read Psalm for the Wild Built and enjoyed it! Her Wayfarers series makes my top 5 favorite books list!
The essay collection about what type of ancestor you want to be is intriguing.
I always have a TBR list, but it’s more like a haphazard stack next to my bed! This is the first year I’ve mapped it out like this. I’m giving myself full permission to switch them up 😂 half of these books I was hoping to get to this year so I’m hoping putting them on a list helps me remember to actually read them. lol. I will check out the wayfarers series too - thanks! What’s top of your list this year?
And my spouse has been slowly transplanting them across the book shelf and I love it! 🪴
I've been exploring the genre of graphic novels/memoirs lately. There are so many things I want to read about but struggle to take in because my hyper sensitive nervous system gets dysregulated. I find the medium of graphic novels helps me learn about injustices and dark chapters of history in ways that I can currently handle. One that I'm excited to read is We Are Not Strangers by Josh Tuininga (about Japanese Internment).
Another genre I'm trying to explore more (again to help my nervous system) is funny books. I'm currently reading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and finding it delightful!
I read a lot of poetry, and am hoping to learn how to use my library's interlibrary loan system this year to access certain volumes of poetry that they don't have at my local library. I especially want to read more poetry by Linda Pastan.
A few other titles I'm hoping to read are Disability Visibility by Alice Wong, Around the World in 80 Birds by Mike Unwin and Ryuto Miyake, Come Together by Emily Nagoski, and On Repentance and Repair by Danya Ruttenberg.
Noooo you’ve just given me like 10 more to add to my list 😂😂😂 I’m kidding. I love all these for you!
I love graphic novels - for the same reason - and I would highly recommend “family style” by thien Pham. I also just got the book “button pusher” which I saw recommended on DLs recent post on autism.
I’ve never read good omens but OMG I love the show!! I need all the light hearted content I can get! David Tennant is my favorite and I’m watching the new Dr who for the same reason - I need laughs and ridiculous aliens who get defeated in one episode.
High fives all around for disability books, bird books & Emily Nagoski books!🩵
The eternal struggle! I've been going through my to-read list and removing ones I don't ever think I'm actually going to read because it had ballooned to 600 books!
Family Style looks SO good! I just added Button Pusher to my list from DL's post too!

Congratulations on one year, Lindsey! I love your writing and what you write about. Great booklist too--I added a few to my already too large stack. 😊
Thanks Chuck 💓 book stacks can never be too large 😅

Ooh I might add the “on writing” one to my list too ❤️
Love the books and the plants! Thank you for sharing your list of books. I have not heard of those, but will check them out.
Thanks 🪴📚❤️
The Cure for Sleep and also Stone will Answer are both memoirs 🩵
