The Reading Life
What I'm reading, what I'm loving, and what's on the nightstand.
Currently Reading
The books I'm actively in right now — dog-eared, underlined, carried everywhere.
Intermezzo
65% through
Rooney's most ambitious and emotionally layered work yet. The way she writes grief is devastating and precise — every sentence earns its place.
All Fours
40% through
Wild, uncomfortable, and utterly compelling. July writes about desire and middle age with a rawness that keeps catching me off guard.
Recently Finished
The Women
Devastating and important. Hannah's best since The Nightingale. I couldn't put it down.
North Woods
One of those rare novels where the form itself is part of the meaning. Absolutely gorgeous.
The God of the Woods
An expertly plotted mystery with real literary depth. Atmospheric and gripping.
Small Things Like These
Proof that a great novel doesn't need to be long. Every word carries weight.
The “Up Next” Pile
Books I'm excited to get to — the nightstand is growing faster than I can read.
