Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport

The part about the Amish was pretty good 

The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

Listened to as an audio book 

Pageboy by Elliot Page

3.5

I like reading trans stories! Elliot has endured so much as I see so much of my story in his story. 
 I can't help but wish/think this book would have been more meaningful if he waited a few more years to write it though.

We Were the Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates

3.5

Very long winded.
Incredible world building and character development though. I feel as though I truly know all of the Mulvaneys. Patrick is a favorite and I love where Marianne ended up. 

The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green

4.5

John's love for everything--in spite of this terrible virus surrounding us--is admirable and inspiring. I love that he has such a drive to learn and to teach. Like all essay collections, there are hits and misses. But overall, very endearing. 

Flux by Jinwoo Chong

4.0

listened to the audiobook. Was very interesting. 

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

2.0

I couldn't stand this book; I had to force myself to finish it. It started off funny and entertaining, but got incredibly repetitive a quarter of the way through.
