The Brightness Between Us by Eliot Schrefer
5.0
So impressed by this follow up. It's really hard for a sequel to pack the emotional punch of the original, especially in a story like this, but Schrefer nails it.
I will never stop weeping over Ambrose and Kodiak finding each other in every iteration. UGH. MY HEART.
The In-Between: Unforgettable Encounters During Life's Final Moments by Hadley Vlahos
4.0
This should have been marketed as a memoir of a young hospice nurse; it's about half memoir and half stories from her line of work. It's beautifully written and absolutely heart-breaking, but it's not what you would expect based on the cover and blurbs, which is unfair to Vlahos.
Each chapter introduces a new patient and the life lessons that Hadley learned that we should all take away from this book.
Hug your loved ones tight. Eat the cake. Put your feet in the sand. It doesn't matter what you think happens when you die -- it only matters how you live.

Dark Archives: A Librarian's Investigation into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human Skin by Megan Rosenbloom
3.0
The subject matter was super interesting, but Rosenbloom inserted herself and her opinions into every page, which made it less interesting.
Legacy Of The Dead by Charles Todd
5.0
I loved meeting characters that Hamish knew. And that CLIFFHANGER ENDING.
On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder
4.0
What a terrifying time it is to be an American.
The Book That Wouldn't Burn by Mark Lawrence
4.0
It's slow to start and probably contains more backstory than it needs, but I got so invested in Livira and Evar that the further I went, the faster I read. At its heart, this is a book that asks us if we can bear the cost of mercy.

You Sexy Thing by Cat Rambo
3.0
This is probably better than I'm giving it credit for (I do love a found family, after all) but I kept zoning out completely during the audiobook, and realizing I didn't care enough to rewind.
