August To Read Pile

The Ash Garden by Dennis Bock - currently reading - This is a timely read - leading up to the date of the bombing of Hiroshima. So far, the writing is stunning- it conveys such emotion and feeling.

Girl One by Sara Flannery Murphy - This looks like a similar genre as The Judas Rose - dystopian sci-fi with a feminist twist.

The Judas Rose by Suzette Haden Elgin - I really wanted to get to this last month. It’s probably going to be the first one I pick up in August.

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo - I have recovered from Six of Crows and am ready to tackle what comes next. Some of the book has been spoiled for me ( it was of my own doing - I shouldn’t scroll through tiktok) and the spoilers made me sad, even out of context

The Sport of Belonging in a Family | Review of Dennis Bock’s “Olympia” (1998) HarperCollins Canada

Family and history influence our personalities in many ways. The way we think, talk, act and dream comes out of those experiences if we realize it or not. Dennis Bock has written an excellent book about one such person dealing with those experiences called Olympia.
