Now Go: On Grief and Studio Ghibli by Karl Thomas Smith
A lovely exploration our relationship with grief of all forms and how the Studio Ghibli film depicts that through their beautiful films.
Excuse me while I go back and rewatch all the films now.

I just finished this book so I need more time to sit with it, but how I would describe this...
Season 1 of American Horror Story (Murder House) with a lot less murder and horror (but don't get it twisted, there's murder) and more beautiful language centering nature (specifically New England) and human relationships. Very engaging. Also reminded me of Overstory by Richard Powers.

Content Warnings
Earlier portions of the book use less than ideal language surrounding indigenous people.
The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
I haven't cried like I cried reading this book in a long time.
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
This is one of the best books I've read in a very long time. Beautiful writing. I felt like I stopped at every page to underline a sentence. A new favorite.
Real Life by Brandon Taylor
Okay well this was amazing. I liked The Late Americans, but I LOVED this.
