Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.

Amazing, but very dense and hard to read. Definitely want to finish this someday.

The History of Sexuality: An introduction by Michel Foucault

Did not finish book. Stopped at 4%.

Another college class book that I didn’t have time to finish, but I really loved the (very short) part I read! This was from last fall; I was really sure I’d read it this past summer but I ended up wanting a reading break so I’ve finally decided to mark it as DNF and read it a different time.

5.0

I really don’t know what to say about this one except that it genuinely changed my life and me as a person and it made me feel every single emotion ever and it made me cry and the ending wasn’t even an ending and I wanted a real ending so badly and I honestly think this might be my favorite book of all time.

If you’re looking for fairytale vibes, as it’s marketed, this is definitely not the book for you. I didn’t enjoy it as much as most people seemed to and I definitely did not get the fairytale vibes I was looking for. I guess one could argue it was a dark fairytale but it still didn’t hit that mark for me. It was decent, and I enjoyed the rep, but solidly okay, not great.
**Please don’t rely on my content warnings!! I read this all in one night two months ago and didn’t write the review until now; I’m confident I missed a few.**

Technically I was supposed to read all of this for class last semester but I ran out of time to do the readings for the last few classes and I simply do not care enough to go back and finish it. I’ll be taking lots of law classes. I’m not missing anything I won’t hear a hundred more times.

Transmogrify! by g. haron davis

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.

This is definitely a “temporarily set aside,” not a “I’m not going to read this.” I just didn’t have the time/energy/concentration to finish it when I first started and I’ve read a small enough amount that I think it would be easier and more logical to just start over whenever I get to it again.

read for school, didn’t like nearly enough to read it all. I actually read a lot more than this but it wasn’t in order so it’s not really possible to track.
