I’m currently on a secret reading project that has taken up almost all of my TBR, so I don’t know what I’ll read in January. I’m looking forward to reading Greta and Valdin by Rebecca K. Reilly for my book club. It’s a strange lithofic novel about Maori, Russian, and Catalan brothers, and I’ve heard great things about it.
I would like to pick up Hermaphrodite Logic by Jules Joan Gleeson, a collection of essays about intersex liberation. I also want to read “The Hollow Half: A Memoir of Bodies and Borders” by Sarah Aziza. I read the first few chapters of this strange memoir about the Palestinian diaspora and thought it was beautifully written.
Another option is Teresa Okokon’s Who I Always Was, a strange memoir in essays that is partly about her struggle with not having a complete story about her father’s death.
These are some options, but most of this month’s TBR is still up in the air.
As for my first book of the year, there’s a weird science fiction novel out of the library right now called If You Can Teach Me, If You’re Lucky You Will Teach Me by Becky Chambers, and as I write this, I’m not sure if this will be my last read of 2025 or my first read of 2026.
