If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho by Sappho

Beautiful. Anne Carson is amazing, and so is Sappho!
The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys
5.0
Beautifully written, clearly very carefully researched, compelling characters. Almost cried at more than one part. So glad I sprang for the hardcover, because I'm keeping this one!
Crush by Richard Siken
5.0
A gorgeous and moving collection of poems that is officially going on my favorites shelf.
Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong
Didn't connect with it personally but I can see why people appreciate it.
Heartstopper Volume 1 by Alice Oseman
5.0
The greatest ever. Re-read an embarrassing amount of times. Food for your soul.
Afghanistan: Forging Civilizations along the Silk Road by Joan Aruz, Elisabetta Valtz Fino
Hard to give this one a rating - it's very dry and technical material about very specific subject matter. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without some rough background knowledge on the topic, but it's well written and very interesting!
The Overstory by Richard Powers
4.0
A beautiful and interesting story, partially a call to action, partially deep character studies, partially a botany lesson. I would give it 5 stars but I thought it dropped off right towards the end, and I also felt that the Brinkman storyline didn't add too much. Otherwise, a lovely, heart-wrenching read.
