I loved Ross Gay's Inciting Joy, The Book of Delights and the book of (more) Delights but I haven't read his poetry yet, I love the sound of the one you shared, I think I'll give it a try

I’m always happy when I persuade someone to read poetry. 🙂

Sandwich is on the list. Three cheers to a sojourn in slow living.

I loved Margo and Sandwich so much, as well as I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself! Excited to try out the Ross Gay title - thanks for the recommendation :-)

Pls add The Lion Women of Tehran to your TBR. I read it in July, it’s a beautiful story and the book isn’t getting the attention it deserves! You had some great reads in July, enjoy the weekend.

I also read Consent this month! I've loved Jill Ciment's fiction, so I was very eager to jump into her memoir. I thought it was well-written overall, but I wanted more of her own reflection on the subject of the power dynamic in her relationship. I thought it was surprisingly light on her own personal insights.

I agree. I would have liked more depth, but I enjoyed what was there.

I think you might be my reading soulmate. Looking forward to trying the ones on this list that I haven't read yet.

Also, added Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude to my TBR. Excited to read!
