Endlessly adorable, I can't wait to get a physical copy as a coffee table book! Great for any cat and art lover. Thanks to Netgalley and Ten Speed Press for the ARC.

Genealogy In 30 Minutes, Volume 1: A guide to discovering the stories of your ancestors and sharing them with family by Ian Lamont

I have mixed feelings... It's very clear that this is a series of newsletters published in book form, and I'm not sure if the format suits me. It felt like each article was missing a lot of substance. On the other hand, it is definitely not your average genealogy how-to guide. Will be looking forward to next volumes as this was definitely tips for people far less experienced in family history than I.
In Defense of Barbarism: Non-Whites Against the Empire by Louisa Yousfi

Thanks to NetGalley and Verso Books for providing me with an ARC.
This book heavily relies on cultural touchstones that I was scrambling to look up alongside the reading, but is well worth it. Yousfi is very talented writer, and her commentary is sharp.

Starlings: The Curious Odyssey of a Most Hated Bird by Mike Stark

Thanks to NetGalley and Bison Books for the ARC.
I can tell this is a labour of love and very well researched, but I just struggled to stay motivated to finish the book. Starlings are some of my favourite city birds, which felt like a let-down for the writing not to capture my attention.
