Fiction and Non-Fkction Books I’ve Read

Books I Loved

December 2024

The Wedding People by Alison Espach — uplifting, enjoyable, not as dark as it sounds.

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty — stupid title but really thought provoking and well-written book. A woman gives airplane passengers predictions about how and when they will die.

Books I Liked

January 2025

Imperium by robert Harris — historical fiction centered on Marcus Cicero in the later days of the Roman republic.

December 2024

The Year of Living Constitutionally by A. J. Jacobs

2024

High Conflict by Amanda Ripley — if you ever wondered why we get so worked up and tribal about large and small conflicts.

The Quiet Damage by Jesselyn Cook — fascinating but disturbing portrait of how different kinds of people get involved in Q Anon

Suffering Fools by Ed Gaffney — enjoyable lawyer drama.

Books that were OK

January 2025

The Adults by Alison Espach — really well written, but so depressing.

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver — Spoiler: I was really disappointed at how the albino was made such an easy and instant villain, especially after the emphasis on the othering of the redneck.
