Didn't love the writing. But great layout design and range of cat artists!

So Long Sad Love by Mirion Malle
2.75
No new ideas. I'm silly bc I thought it'd be a story about a trans person and their long-time partner coming to terms w themselves as a couple and as individuals with a happy ending based on the jacket description and the cover art (re: my delusional projection). Anyway guess I have to write something like that myself. And in my defense, the barcode covered the first part of the description and I didn't bother Googling it because I wanted it to be a surprise and let the vibe speak for itself

It was overdue at the library and I simply am averse to classics even when they're redone...

Depression so nasty I forgot to DNF this book 15 pages in
Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange
3.5
A vast family chronicle of... words on a page sometimes. Grief from the youth's perspective was explored far better than the more seasoned characters but I'm unsure if that was on purpose or not. It made for an interesting narrative, but not a compelling one after a while. Shruggy about this.
Memorial by Bryan Washington
3.0
Monotonous, sluggish, and 80% dialog. Clearly not my favorite contemporary family novel which is a shame because the premise was something special. I almost didn't finish. But I did like reading Mike. His melancholy was familiar.
Louis Armstrong: The Offstage Story of Satchmo by Michael Cogswell
I mostly picked this up to see what an archival biography was like, so I skimmed. But I did linger on the sections about Lucille, their house, and Clarence and not for nothing!
It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!: RSI Theory and Therapy for Computer Professionals by Jack Bellis, Suparna Damany Mspt
Great reference; I will be revisiting it whenever I need it but it has also helped me feel better/confident about not feeling great when my bad habits cause me physical pain đ and how it doesn't have to stay that way LOL

Not to sound like an (Asian, disclaimer) idiot but a lot of my DNF books have Asian girls/women on the covers and I don't think it's a coincidence anymore
