Happy Spring Equinox, everyone! What book are YOU choosing to celebrate with?
Since the vernal equinox was yesterday, it was Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles, which I found disappointing. Still, it was the first time in a while since I could just curl up in a comfortable armchair and read, with only the end of the book to make me get up and not an appointment or anything else. That was lovely.
I then picked up Yael Cohen’s We Killed, an oral history about women in comedy. I adore oral histories, as I’ve mentioned. I actually picked this up during my spring break, but didn’t manage to get it to it; it’s currently in a stack of books at home that my mother is going to return for me today. When I saw it at the local library here, I just couldn’t resist. I technically haven’t started yet, but it will be my reading for the day (along with Letters From Egypt while I blow-dry my hair).

Happy Spring and enjoy your books.

Thanks for stopping by!
Oh how I love an oral history. Tell me how it is in the end! I just got through reading a pretend oral history of the zombie apocalypse, and it was great great fun. I will read anything on the internet that says “oral history”, including oral histories of shows I’ve never watched a day in my life.
I will! I’m fifty pages in and I’m loving it. Was that World War Z or another book like that? I think it’s a wonderful form for storytelling, both nonfictional and fictional.
It was World War Z!
