And I have now startes a Lattes and Legends on audio as a palate cleanser and am going to read a chapter of So far gone by Jess Walter. I'm starting to feel better but always happy to have an excuse to read :)

And more still! Finished We all want impossible things by Catherine Newman. This has to be the best novel about accompanying a dying person I've read. The absurdity of the situation, how life somehow continues, the pondering about birth and death and all the stuff in between. It's also a funny book.

Oh but I read more. I read a graphic novel, All our ordinary stories by Teresa Wong. Exploration in images of the story of her parents route to Canada, shrugging off swimming to Hong Kong to become refugees as normal, getting sent to reeducation camps, prison. Ouf.

Crossroads by Kaleb Dahlgreen. Listen I don't know much about hockey, but I was extremely moved by this young man's positive attitude and resilience, not just after surviving the Humbolt Broncos crash, but before too. Wish him nothing but the best, truly impressive.

Everything is fine here, Iryn Tushabe. I enjoyed how this book brought me into a different culture and made me ponder how it would shape so many aspects of your worldview. A coming of age story that explores being different in a country or family with values different from your own.

The hunger we passed down, Jen Sookfong Lee. While this book gripped me, I really hoped these women would get some redemption or victory over grief, over patriarchy, over the hungry ghosts of intergenerationnal trauma. Will sit on my hunger for justice.

Julie Chan is Dead by Liann Zhang. I litterally devoured this, it brought me in a totally unforeseen direction. The vibes at the end were 100% this gif. Bravo!!!

Oxford Soju Club, Jinwoo Park. This took me a minute to get into because I had to figure out the universe, but it was a good spy novel.

Restaurant Kid, Rachel Phan. What a great memoir. A great reflection that goes beyond the restaurant. I enjoyed the audio version read by the author.

🎀 My son having neat fashion projects and following through on them (see alt text) 🎀 Frenchy's run with my son last night, found so many good pieces. Gave this wool plaid blazer I found a snow wash today (just lay it on fresh snow for an hour or so!) Will smell fresh and clean again :)

🎀 Met my grand nephew (!!!). I love him to pieces. No words! 🎀 Joined a (non religious) choir in January, it took me a while to get the hang of it (altos often aren't quite singing the melody and you need to tune out the other melodies) but I'm really excited to hear the songs come together :)

I used to be bothered more by perfumes, but I'd rather that that smell people's funk. I feel like my nose is getting more sensitive to it, yuck.

Currently reading The hunger we pass down and I was immediately pulled in. Up next Oxfor Soju Club. I may not make it through the full long list before winners declared, but out of the short list, I'm rooting for Terry Punchout or Cure for Drowning, they were both great and reads I'd recommend.

It's different this time, Joss Richard. I'm not much of a rom-comm girly but this was nicely done. As it went on I kept feeling like when a horror story character runs up the stairs and you want to scream about June. Some racy bits and love wins, but some therapy sessions could have avoided this.

Never been better, Leanne Toshiko Thompson. What a funny and sweet book about mental health, healing, and friendships. If "My Best Friend's Wedding" started in a psych ward. I loved all the carachters, and absolutely loved how this unravelled. Fresh and fun.

Heated Rivalry, Rachel Reid. I wanted to finish season 1 of the show before diving into the series, which I promise to read, in order, but whew, watch the show, the world is terrible and we needed this series so so bad, thank you Rachel.

Searching for Terry Punchout, Tyler Hellard. More East Coast content please. We're the best coast, I didn't have to know anything about hockey to love the atlantic small town universe the author created in a fun and irreverant way.

Foe, Ian Reid - A futuristic story with twists and turns with black mirror vibes (it is now a tv series? movie?). A satisfying page turner.

The cure for drowning, by Logan Paylor. This was a true delight. The idea of fae and transness made me think just a little of Fayne by Anne-Marie MacDonald, but this was more of a wartime romance with a twist. I loved this story that managed to give all of us a bit of victory.

A Minor Chorus my Billy Ray Belcourt - Read this one a year ago, Billy Ray always puts a poetic lense on reflections on his lived experience as a queer/2Spirit Indigenous person, loved it.

I have to say that the older I get the truer this gets, but there is nothing better than that feeling at the end of a long day when you crawl into bed and under a cozy duvet. Truly the best!
