I read The Wild Robot by Peter Brown again. 📚
I’ve been reading this with my son - a reread for both of us, as I read it to him years ago. We finished it last night and were surprised; what we remembered as the final scenes of this book must actually be the opening scenes of The Wild Robot Escapes. Very nice flow from one book to the next, I guess? We will be moving on to the next book.

I read Louder Than Hunger by John Schu. 📚
Undeniable, probably book of the year. I have thoughts that I should articulate better, if I get brave.

Reading Log: Metamorphosis and Other Stories

I stopped reading Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Franz Kafka ; translated by Michael Hofmann. [ Paused at 35% ] 📚
Stopped after the 1912 stories and “The Stoker” because I meant to jump over to Amerika next, but then I read other things and continue to want to read other things. I do intend to still come back to this, though. I should put entries for the individual first edition published pieces I did read so at least it they come up on my reading log gallery…

I read A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger again. 📚
Read aloud with my son at bedtime some nights. We both really enjoyed it; hope for more with these characters and/or in this world.

I read Parasol Against the Axe by Helen Oyeyemi. 📚
Orlando vibes, Kafka vibes, fun weirdness vibes. I will likely be reading more of Oyeyemi, and the other writers she mentions in interviews (linked after the “more” jump.)
