Physical books. digital books, audiobooks, all of the books. List in progress. Updated 1 May 2025.

My hobbies include: reading books, reading ABOUT books, thinking about the books I'm going to read, keeping up with news releases about upcoming books, building an endless TBR, etc.

“There's no book club??? D:” Lists in progress. I read 100 books a year, and I have some THOUGHTS.

I'm a mood reader, a format reader, and a lawyer with adhd. That's not great for watching the united states collapse in real time, but it's great for cycling through and enjoying 4-6 books at once and internalizing the mood, plots, characters, and details from over 100 books a year. I'll take the wins where I can find them.

I spend a lot of time disassociating in bookstores. SHOP LOCAL if possible. If not, then these links to BOOKSHOP DOT ORG will benefit an independent bookstore of your choice.

Surprise! I'm mentally ill. I grew up in a family and a community that didn't acknowledge that mental health is real, and I've tried to be transparent about my brain chemistry to normalize conversations about it with my friends, my colleagues, and now my online communities. Here are some of the nonfiction that has helped me feel seen or understood in some way.

normalize the experiences of fictional characters with mental health issues--whether the condition is explicitly diagnosed, heavily implied, somewhat implied, not even mentioned, etc

I would never trust a woman who survived The Wilderness and then became a politician.

misty quigley is not for everybody, but she is absolutely for me.

Frog, meet boiling water.

Details include: unreliable narrators, unhinged women, people who are Over It, mental illness, beautiful prose, existential dread, “wtf did I just read and how do I find more books that feel exactly like this?” after you finish the final chapter and sit in stunned silence for a few moments.

I read over 100 books in 2024. Here are the ones that I rated three, four, or five stars. (list in progress.)

All Amazon-related revenue will go directly towards the costs of building an online persona and fleeing my toxic workplace. Any additional revenue will be dedicated to pro bono causes. Thank you in advance for your support.

I have combination skin, but I treat it like dry skin because I use actives regularly. If you have oily skin, these might not be for you.

Sunscreens that I've used and loved over the years. I have Fitzpatrick type II skin (fair complexion, prone to sunburns, almost never tans) that I treat as a tad drier than combination skin.
