Think of this as your reading glow up! These books will teach you to slow down, look closer, and find what authors are hiding underneath a great sentence. The goal isn't to ace an exam - it's to get more out of every book you read, feel more confident in the forums or at book club, and learn to trust your instincts as a reader. One rule: Start with the book that excites you the most, not the one that sounds the most impressive. Your future self, thriving in the forums, will thank you!!

Books about death, dying, grief and what remains.

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

In order from #1 (My Brilliant Friend) to 100 (Tree of Smoke)

I’ve taken a couple creative nonfiction classes for school, and they always change how I see and read nonfiction! I think it’s easy to think of nonfiction as history, memoirs, and subgenres that might feel more boring to people like me. But creative nonfiction helped me learn to love nonfiction!

On death and leaving you. Quiet meditations in memoir and make-believe and anything in-between.
