This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate by Naomi Klein
Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.

I think this book has a lot to say, but the length and also the fact that it is now 10 years out of date is making it hard to get through. I want to return to it at some point though.

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

Really enjoyable! Picked this one up since I loved Spinning Silver so much. I think I prefer it to Uprooted, but both are enjoyable plays on classical fairy tale stories. 

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

4.0

Enjoyable and fun! Took me several years to actually finish this, but Steifvater's writing kept me engages when I finally did return to it. I love the strong sense of place.
