I didn’t finish reading any books this week. However. I started three new ones from the various stacks that let us share the house with them. Another Day in the Death of America – This is wrenching. But I can’t stop reading it. Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine – This is also wrenching, but in a different way. And I’m guessing she’s not completely fine. Saga, Volume 2 – Thanks to my book group by mail, I am slightly obsessed…

I’ve wanted to start a monthly round-up thing of stuff I loved/internet finds/blogs to follow, etc. Name ideas for this feature have included: Lorna’s Love List (I think that sounds a bit rude, though.
