Hello! This is the second time I'm right on track with your reading history! Last time I too had just finished (and LOVED) Small Things, I listened and the audio was delightful. I think I'll listen to it every December. I also listened to Ghachar Ghochar, another short story filled with family drama and highly suggest! I very slowly savored Ross Gay's Inciting Joy and he mentioned Lynda Barry so I just picked up Syllabus and Menopause, A Comic Treatment at the library just yesterday! I am trying out a new to me author, Ariel Lawhon on recommendation from the podcast What Should I read Next. and I loved the witchy memoir of Hilarie Burton Morgan in Grimoire Girl. Happy Reading.
Can I just say how much LOVE that our reading lists still run parallel even though we haven't seen each other in person for years?! I just picked up Syllabus from the library too!
I'm so glad you were in the Map to Inspiration, Angela! Also, weirdly, I read that Gabrielle Zevin book this month too. I really loved it. She creates such incredibly deep and real and interesting characters. I almost want to go back and figure out how she made The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry such a quick read. It was a 2-day read for both Dave and I. How does she do it?
I liked The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry (and did find it a really quick read), but Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow absolutely blew my mind. Have you read it yet? I'd love to know what you think. And I'm so excited you announced a part two for the Map to Inspiration! You know I'll be there.
Love your analysis and the lessons you’ve learned from her interviews!
Thank you friend! And congratulations again on NUNU AND THE SEA!

I ADORED Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. It's why I picked up AJ Fikry! And YAYYYY that you'll be there for Part Two!
It’s why I picked up A.J. Fikry as well! Too funny.
