This is my life

and of the list:

I have read Pride & Prejudice, The Wood Wife, and The Daughter of Time so many times that the books have fallen apart.

36 Arguments...is the novel I recommend when people/students ask me for a good, thinky read

I read The Sparrow at the start of grad school and it deeply shaped how I think about grief and accountability


He, She and It is Jewish mysticism + chosen family + reflection on the responsibilities and dangers of technological advancement, and a compellingly drawn near-ish future

The Bone People was assigned in my first year of college. It was deep and challenging and amazing and I have never been able to bring myself to re-read it.

Code Name Verity is both an exercise in having your expectations turned on your head, and a powerful meditation on friendship.
