A great primer on gender-equity-forward child rearing for young children, especially 0-5.

This was an interesting exploration into the drivers of adultery, though written by an anonymous author invites criticism to the veracity of his claims.

This was an emotional book, and hard at times. A story of a family in the matriarch's twilight years, a story of dementia and the slow waltz toward death, and a story of picking up the pieces as a family grieves that loss and finds how they all fit together again.

WOW. Wow, wow, wow. This was such an superb sequel. It did take me a bit to get fully into, but I think it's a slow burn kind of book - at least for me - and that didn't make it any less enjoyable. It is a damning indictment on the way we allow technology to control our lives more and more, and how we all have blindspots where attention and being liked or admired is considered. And it was also a story of hope, of how through connection and community, we can avoid destroying humanity. So good. So, so good.
