pickAn easy to read #nonfiction title about some interesting queens. I wouldn't recommend it alone, but that's generally how it is when reading nf. You have to read from various titles and POVs. Still, I think this one really gives a good image of both characters, esp Anne prior to her marriage and how her actions and passions inspired and influenced Elizabeth, who I only came to know now #anneboleyn
After considering my reading stats from last year, I would like to make a more conscious effort again this year to read, or more likely listen to, at least one nonfiction book per month. So, today when I needed something to listen to on my walk with Luthien, I downloaded this one. I‘ve also got a print copy to reference as I listen. I enjoyed the informative but humorous style of the first few chapters.

pickWhat a delightful little book about dragons!
This book gives a short overview of dragons from around the world. It primarily focuses on dragon lore from ancient Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. It also briefly addresses dragons from other regions like Africa and the Americas.

pickI finished my final read of the year with the last pages of this delightful book. I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed reading all the anecdotes full of fascinating information about trees in small sections over the course of the entire year.

I haven‘t been able to shut up about the brilliant scholarship of this book since I read it.

pickThis book is not for everyone. But for those that struggle with suicidal depression and adjacent mental illnesses this book is an essential tool in your arsenal. Jenny has many tangents that are broken up with (what feel like brilliant rays of sunshine breaking through) such deep phrases of intimate connection you feel like you've made a life-long ally to get you through the darkest hours.

Up next for #SheSaid!
Get your books ready & steel your nerves. I am so tired of victims telling us again & again what is going on & being ignored while those of power or celebrity can just do whatever they want with little or no consequences. Our society is deeply broken, but the only way to make a better one is to learn all the tough bits & make a better future with better laws & guardrails, and we cannot fix what we do not know or understand.
so-so
