What I Read in February 2025
Mar. 8th, 2025 11:55 pm Total: 6 books
- Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom by Sylvia Plath;
- Write These Laws on Your Children: Inside the World of Conservative Christian Homeschooling by Robert Kunzman;
- People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present by Dara Horn;
- Dragstripping: Poems by Jan Beatty;
- Conclave by Robert Harris (reread);
- Thrawn: Chaos Rising by Timothy Zahn (reread)
All bangers. I also started or continued reading several books: Communion by Whitley Strieber, The Lavender Scare by David K. Johnson, Convulsive by Joe Koch, who worked on Slake House, Shame-Sex Attraction by Lucas Wilson (which I finished this month!) and Dancing in the Glory of Monsters by Jason Stearns, about the wars in the Congo. Plus still slowly reading The Dark Box about the history of confession, and Silence, that 13th Century French poem about a girl who's raised as a boy.
I feel like I did way more reading than this in February but I guess that's because I spent so much time poring over textbooks. I don't FEEL like I spent a lot of time doing that though. Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up and realize I read 6 other books and forgot to log them on Goodreads, but I think the truth is I just picked up a different book every day, read a chapter or two, and then switched to something else.
