The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert

Fun Home by Alison Bechdel (my college friend Beth Malone is starring as grown-up Alison in the Off-Broadway musical and I decided it was high time I read the book)

Everyone’s Reading Bastard by Nick Hornby (Kindle single)

More Baths, Less Talking by Nick Hornby (another collection of his Believer columns on his reading life, every one of which I’ve enjoyed immensely, as you can see in my Hornby archives)

Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion (selected essays)

• and many, many picture books for the Cybils (178 so far, but some of those were read earlier in the year)

In progress:  Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks (after listening to her seminar in the Coursera class I’m taking on historical fiction, as discussed here)
