Rated Trespasses 8/10

<div>Really great book, as was the audiobook narrator.&nbsp;</div>

Rated Priestdaddy: A Memoir 10/10

<div>Somehow, Patricia Lockwood's memoir had completely escaped my attention when it first came out. I was familiar with (though I haven't read yet) her more recent novel, and of course, "Miette, her eyes enormous[...]" being one of the best all-time tweets. I'm glad to have rectified this gap in my reading. Her gift for description is perfect, and often hilarious. I kept reading bits aloud to my husband. If you have not read this smart, funny (and forgiving) memoir, please do.</div>

Finished reading Magician's Gambit

Rated Anon Pls. 6/10

<div>This was better than I thought it would be. I mean, yes, the writing is nothing special, and there are almost as many brand name drops as in a Bret Easton Ellis novel, but it IS compulsively readable, much like the IG gossip account itself. I flew through it in just a few days because I wanted to know what happened next. Also appreciated that she names her co-/ghostwriter because more people who use them should admit it. We know you didn't turn around this book that fast on your own, "babe!" So if you follow the account already, you'll probably enjoy this.&nbsp;</div>

I can't believe it took me 10 years to read this. I'm so glad I finally did. What an interesting, innovative book.

Rated The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable 10/10

Rated Pecados Santos 6/10

Rated The Story of Russia 10/10

This book gives a good overview of the 'entire' Russian nation, as we know it today. It is helps you understand better the current unfolding events, and the response (or lack thereof) of the Russian people.
