what I read in August 2019

Bowlaway by Elizabeth McCracken (Really, really, really good.)
Help Me by Marianne Power (Woman embarks on self-help regimen for a year and barely survives. Entertaining.)
Humans: A brief History of How We F*cked It All Up by Tom Phillips (Audiobook. Both depressing and funny so right up my alley.)
Husbands That Cook by Ryan Alvarez and Adam Merrin (I will never understand why so many contemporary cookbooks feature page after page after page of photos of the chef(s), but whatever.)
Love and Lemons Every Day by Jeanine D’Onofrio (Good-looking recipes.)
Making a Life by Deanne Fitzpatrick (It’s always interesting to hear the perspective of a successful, established artist.)
The Mystery of Hunter’s Lodge by Agatha Christie (Audiobook of a short story. I don’t get the point of short story mysteries. Don’t you need time to puzzle it over while the detective gathers clues? Disappointing.)
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg (Audiobook. Excellent.)
Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood (All the Catholic stuff brought back some unhappy memories, but extremely well-written.)
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams (Audiobook. Didn’t enjoy it as much as the first book in the series, but Martin Freeman was a very good narrator.)
Siege by Michael Wolff (How, after all this time, can I continue to be amazed that Donald Trump is just as bad as he seems?)
Simply Modern by Deanne Fitzpatrick (Needed a more thorough proofreading by the publisher, but lots of good advice and how-tos.)
