WIND BREAKER is usually pretty lighthearted fun, but some volumes just hit different. This might be my favorite so far.

The art is stunning and the story takes its time to explore our relationship with sadness. I do recommend reading it in print, though. The artwork deserves a big canvas.

It's sweet and spicy. Yes, the smut was nice, but mostly I enjoyed all the game references and the camp humor. A fun time!

Bullshit Jobs: A Theory

David Graeber

4.0

informative medium-paced

Some chapters flow better than others, and I think I'll enjoy it better once I read it in print, but still a good source on the current work hellscapes.

I struggled to read the book because the beginning was so slow, so I switched to the audiobook, and it was much easier. A very tense story with beautiful prose. A great example of an unreliable narrator.

Priceless Facts about Money

Mellody Hobson

3.0

informative lighthearted fast-paced

The humor in the book feels very outdated; I was surprised it was published so recently. The watercolor art is very pretty and it is a good place for kids to start learning basic concepts about money.
