Have a weird Xmas (Blog about books acquired in Dec. 2023)

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!

Unlikely Animals, Annie Hartnett - A perfect novel. It is so weird and unexpected and heartwarming (and heartbreaking) and funny. An all-time favorite!

I also picked up a hardcover first edition of Cormac…
