A5. I'd like to see more books with strong non-romantic relationships. #BoutOfBooks

A3. Signal to Noise by Silvia Moreno-Garcia was another good one. These were both 4-stars, I just looked and realized I haven't read any 5-star books this whole year! #BoutOfBooks

A3. At the End of the Matinee, by Heiichiro Hirano, translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter. I have trouble connecting to translated works a lot of times, but this one hit me just right. #BoutOfBooks

A2. Attending this chat! #BoutOfBooks
I was going to be volunteering at our preschool this morning but they pushed it back because of weather so I'm glad to be here! #BoutOfBooks
