Let's see I read Normal People by Sally Rooney, which was gorgeous. Also the One Of Us Is Lying series by I forget the author's name, which is fun easy YA murder mystery stuff. Finally read Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf which is also good and very grounding imo.

a perfect day

I've also read Yeonmi Park's In Order to Live and Shin Dong-hyuk's story, Escape from Camp 14, which was mind boggling because he was born and raised in a prison camp

John Vaillant's The Tiger is amazing, it's about the relationship between isolated rural populations in Siberia and the endangered tigers, and what happened when one of them broke the balance
