I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

      That’s one of the things that make her style unique. There’s no big dramatic climax. Some things change. Some stay the same. Those who survived get on with their lives. Just like real life. Also, I think she’s still trying to figure out for herself what the Presger actually are. Trying to imagine the unimaginable is hard.
