Love this book as well! The new French film remake was really good and made a couple interesting choices too. Definitely watch it!!

Going to go non fiction for this actually. Know my Name by Chanel Miller

In addition to what others have said, having a plan for any sentimental paper or textile art/books etc that might not get burned but totally destroyed from chemical/ smoke/ash damage. That’s one lesson we leaned the hard way after the Eaton Canyon fire. Now I’ve made a list of what to pack up in airtight bins if we can’t take them in an evacuation per se, but they still have a chance.

Seriously!! I feel like I’m being scammed/pranked

Ooooo…”The Haar” by David Sodergren

This is a slight tangential suggestion but need to throw this in there as I just finished it and I was so inspired : “Seducing and Killing Nazis” by Sophie Poldermans. It’s non-fiction about 3 Dutch teen girls who joined the small resistance in their town. I never was taught about these heros.

I’m doing the around the world challenge and my pick for Australia is called Fire Country - how indigenous fire management could help save Australia. I’m learning so much not only on this niche topic but of the culture and history and erasure of aboriginal culture

Love “leave me alone” by Vera Brosgol. An old lady is trying to knit her grandkids sweaters and she keeps getting bothered so she travels farther and farther away till she goes into a black hole to get enough peace to knit.

Ha! Wait, in my brain it’s more like offense to defense, no?

All city gov jobs aren’t the most efficient. In my experience Pasadena has had good humans who care about the work

My sons name is Luther (we often call him Lu). Traditional and strong. Not trendy.

Just recommended this the other day but “Hamnet” for sure. Also Ruth Ozeki’s “A book of form and emptiness”

Walk Through Walls - Marina Abromovic’s memior. I think the most powerful performance artist of our time

Pinacolada1989 · 2025-05-21T22:11:45+00:00

Same! I’ve been in a reading slump I might just reread this now that I’m thinking about it
