This was so full of facts, I feel like I need to reread it about four times just to get a good grip on everything. Still, I really enjoyed this and have an entirely new (enhanced!) view of trees. I’d recommend this to anyone that enjoys taking walks in the woods, or anyone who likes a well-written piece of nonfiction. ]]> ReadStatus9543506400 Fri, 13 Jun 2025 13:29:51 -0700 <![CDATA[Caitlin wants to read 'Small Rain']]> /review/show/7651910415 Small Rain by Garth Greenwell Caitlin wants to read Small Rain by Garth Greenwell

Hanif Abdurraqib is an author I will always read, regardless of subject matter, regardless of genre. His prose shines, and his ability to craft a long essay that ultimately ties up all of its loose ends never fails to impress me. I always enjoy spending time with his work.

All of that being said, I think this could’ve been cut down about 50 pages shorter. I’m also a little disappointed that it didn’t end with the 2016 NBA finals, though I can respect the choice to end with Lebron’s return. As a Buffalo Bills fan, I really resonated with Abdurraqib’s commentary on being from a city that loves its sport teams who just can’t seem to pull it together. ]]> Review6146375298 Tue, 10 Jun 2025 12:24:57 -0700 <![CDATA[Caitlin added 'Sorrow and Bliss']]> /review/show/6146375298 Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason Caitlin gave 4 stars to Sorrow and Bliss (Paperback) by Meg Mason
Though there were aspects of this book that I didn’t fully enjoy or understand the reasoning behind, I liked this overall. Mason’s prose is funny and heartfelt and well constructed, and this is one of the most honest depictions of mental health that I’ve read.

I would recommend this to anyone that liked The Wedding People! ]]> GiveawayRequest721843436 Mon, 09 Jun 2025 12:56:46 -0700 <![CDATA[<a href="/user/show/22789191-caitlin-conlon">Caitlin Conlon</a> entered a giveaway]]> /giveaway/show/414343-real-life Real Life by Brandon Taylor
