What I Read
- In Print —
- Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. (Just as good as everyone has said!)

- Via Audio —
- New Boy by Tracy Chevalier. (Compelling re-telling of Othello as part of the Hogarth Shakespeare series.)
- The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King. (Book club pick I found to be an entertaining take on Sherlock Holmes.)
- Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson. (Like with Brown Girl Dreaming, I found myself inspired to write some of the stories of my life.)
