The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2023 by Carl Zimmer, Jaime Green
4.0
This collection was much more in the “writing” side of “science and nature writing” compared to the 2022 version. Not bad, but it was more reflective than 2022, so I didn’t learn as much bc it wasn’t jam packed with fun and new to me stories and experiments and such.
A Holly Jolly Ever After by Sierra Simone, Julie Murphy

Wow this was shockingly good. And spicy as hell!!!
At the start of the book I knew it would be fantastic bc the epigraph was “Yes I am Daddy - Graham Simpkins, The Holiday.” A stellar start.
Great quotes:
“You’re a sexy narcoleptic flower just waiting to blossom.”
“If I’d made myself uncomfortable for him, for my parents, for my old agent, then why couldn’t I make myself uncomfortable for /myself/? For something I wanted to do?”
