Kill Your Darlings by Peter Swanson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I’m usually a huge fan of Peter Swanson. I loved all his books. But this was was just okay I think. I don’t know if it was the style or not. I will of course keep reading him no matter what.

Don’t Open Your Eyes by Liv Constantine
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a quick and reasonably interesting read. Nothing that will stay with me but entertaining while I read it.

Fox by Joyce Carol Oates
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I have so much to say about this book. It was my first Oates and likely I should not have started with this one. It was well-written and I kept reading it but the subject matter is awful. Truly awful. I hated Lolita and I hate this too. I don’t care if it’s literary. And I also totally guessed the ending.

So Far Gone by Jess Walter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Jess Walter’s imagination and inner world must be so fascinating. These books are always well-written and always weird. I liked this one but didn’t love it.

The Compound by Aisling Rawle

This book didn’t go anywhere and I didn’t think it was interesting. Sorry 🙁 Not even sure what it was trying to be.

Things in Nature Merely Grow by Yiyun Li
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
How can one possibly rate this book. What a terrible tragedy Li and her husband have had to endure. Can’t imagine the loss of not one but two children to suicide. I love Li’s writing and wish it were not non-fiction.

The Unseen World by Liz Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Liz Moore’s books are always slow burns and they are always so so good. Deep deep character development, unexpected but not shocking turns that makes the book go deeper and become richly layered.

Culpability by Bruce Holsinger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I think this book wasn’t sure what it wanted to be. And also, I think there’s a lot here. The part that was most interesting to me wasn’t actually the AI bits but the family dynamics and what happens to them when everyone has a secret. It made me think a bit about the Celeste Ng book. I enjoyed how much it made me think.
