I love reading When women were dragons by Kelly Barnhill in my hammock and drinking iced tea. Lots to do later, not all of it fun, so enjoying my moment.

Susie Boyt's Loved and Missed is the best novel I've read this year. The voices of her characters, particularly Ruth, who narrates most of the book, are unforgettable. Don't miss this one. I'm grateful that NYRB pubbed it and definitely hope they'll publish more of her work.

If you have a bookshop near you, make sure to pop in regularly and check that your favourite bookseller has enough water and is being taken for regular walks. (Or just buy a book on their website)

“I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart, who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience, who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward, who do what has to be done, again and again.” Marge Piercy “To be of Use” poetryfoundation.org/poems/5…

To be of use

The people I love the best jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.

I just finished the first #Murderbot book. And... I've been a little down, lately [work; marriage]; but: it's been fun ! Kept me going, a little. "All Systems Red" by #MarthaWells. (I think it's free on Audible. The 2nd one, too.) amazon.com/All-Systems-Red-M…
