My May & June Reads
Dominicana, Angie Cruz - A book club pick that I've thought of several times since I read it in early May. It's incredibly upsetting! A teenage girl is forced to marry a thirty-something man because it's her family's chance at immigrating to the United States.

Books acquired, 13 Oct. 2023
I couldn’t pass on a used copy of the second edition of Steven Weisenburger’s A Gravity’s Rainbow Companion even though it ate up most of my trade credit.
