Avery - She/her - 26 Finally living my dream of working in a bookstore! I read mostly horror and lit fic, with some sci-fi-fantasy and non-fiction when I'm intrigued.

    I really feel like this is one of the most engagingly written and deeply informative non-fiction novels about society & politics I’ve picked up so far. Borden’s writing style balances both delivering the facts in an easy to understand way, and adds flavor and humor in what would otherwise be a very dry and difficult read which is something I appreciate a lot after DNFing the last ~2 books I’ve tried in this genre. I’m curious how other readers feel, because I could see this being more approachable for people who don’t read nonfiction regularly!

    I just switched to the audiobook for convenience sake (I’m reading too many things at once) and was delighted to find that her narration is also equally engaging!!

    Nothing has ever enticed me to buy a book faster than my local trusted book rec lady saying there's a solid twenty minute sequence of just walking up the stairs

    Loving this book so far-- Am very curious to know more about the author-- specifically because to me this book reads as potentially reflective of the disabled or neurodivergent experience of trying to move through a world not designed for you

    How do I rate a collection of stories about living through a genocide? This is a must read, challenging, heartbreaking, and beautiful.
