Books finished
The Dinosaur Artist by Paige Williams: I found this one really fascinating and complex. Without knowing a lot of the background, I thought Williams did a decent job at boiling down some big themes and pieces of background to make sense of why this was a big deal. I did find the end, with its abrupt switch to a more personal tone regarding Eric Prokopi and his family a bit jarring. But overall, this one is recommended!
Sanity and Tallulah by Molly Brooks: Awwwww, what an adorable graphic novel! I loved the visuals of the space stations and ships, the humor, and the friendship between the two main characters. Totally recommended, especially for the Lumberjanes/Noelle Stevenson fans.
Currently Reading
The Girl with the Dragon Heart by Stephanie Burgis: A follow-up to The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart; it feels a bit different tonally but a smart and thoughtful fantasy.
What I’m reading next
The Spy with the Red Balloon by Katherine Locke
Strange Grace by Tessa Gratton
I’m trying a new approach to my active to-read pile. We’ll see how well it works (so I won’t talk about it just yet). Do you have a system for deciding what books to read next? Or do you pick up whatever you’re in the mood for?

I’m reading Sanity and Tallulah right now! Rather slowly, as I’m just reading it on work breaks. I tend to just read whatever books have come in on hold for me, and if not enough has come in at any given time, I am likely to check out whatever looks good or I’ve heard of most recently. Really I should check my want to read lists or read something that I own and haven’t read yet… but that’s not what usually happens.
