This month I had a bit better luck than last month. I found two books I thoroughly enjoyed.
Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant
This book was right up my alley and had been on my to be read list for a bit. I decided to listen to it on audio and honestly I appreciated the content. This book deals with grief and coping with loss and finding resilience after tragedy, but I love how it was written with practical information and narrative stories. I also found it to be hopeful. This book is not for everyone, but I really am fascinated by books about grief as you know.
Book Rating: 5/5 The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
I honestly did not anticipate enjoying this book. This book is a fairytale adjacent book, which seems to be a theme I am encountering quite a lot in my reading lately. I will at some point do a roundup of all of the ones I have read to be together in one specific spot. This book describes the story of Alice as she is set upon an adventure which forces her to learn about her past and her grandmother who is the author of a slightly dark book of fairytales. This book would be described as a fantasy novel, and I thought it would be scary, but found it instead to be completely enjoyable. I listened to this on audio and it was narrated by the same voice actor who narrated The Lunar Chronicles. I really enjoyed her voice and that made this experience enjoyable as well.
