Signs, Music by Raymond Antrobus

Gorgeous, gorgeous, just gorgeous.

Mutual Interest by Olivia Wolfgang-Smith

Wow, no thank you! So cold. So boring. Save me from these sharp and cutting books that do not love the world. Ugh.

North Woods by Daniel Mason

Hated it. Boring, blah, thin characterization, bonkers nonsensical MA geography, will never forgive Mason for writing a book set in the Berkshires and NEVER USING THE WORD BERKSHIRES, MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. Nothing interesting in here about place or human relationship to place and nature, just nonsense, do not understand why people like it.

Small Rain by Garth Greenwell

Stunned.

I'll Have What He's Having by Adib Khorram

Doesn't have the kind of pacing I like in romance, but enjoyed it anyway.

Toward Eternity by Anton Hur

Loved, loved, loved.

The Charioteer by Mary Renault

Well, I sure did love this very dramatic book about very dramatic and messy gays.

With My Back to the World: Poems by Victoria Chang

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Deaf Republic by Ilya Kaminsky

Truly unparalleled brilliance.

A Theory of Birds: Poems by Zaina Alsous

Holy wow.
