Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer

So fucking good I will be watching the Hulu series soon

Black Swans: Stories by Eve Babitz

Delicious 

Tom Lake by Ann Patchett

I feel like I would appreciate this more if I was familiar with the play, Our Town 

The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion

I wasn’t in the best headspace to be reading this the first time I attempted to, but the second go-round I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would read it again. 

The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel
Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.

HOLY SHIT I can’t finish this I literally

can’t deal with the incest I genuinely couldn’t believe my eyes when I read that for the first time.

I was sold this as similar to Sharp Objects but it’s disturbing in a much worse and intolerable way.
