Bookends: January 2015

I’m not sure if I can sustain this pace as the year progresses, but at least I’ve started 2015 strong, reading-wise. And I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read, which makes it extra-awesome!

Here’s what I read in January:

Grown-ups’ Books:

The Home-Maker by Dorothy Canfield Fisher (Sisters Book Club January Selection)

A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki

Symposium by Plato (for my Cavalcade of Classics; review link will be live February 2)

Men We Reaped by Jesmyn Ward

A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra
