yuuagoFinished reading: Bomb Girls by Jacky Hyans. About munitions workers in Britain during WWII. Felt it was not hugely in-depth, but still very interesting. Background information + firsthand experiences from women who worked at the munitions factories. I might need to see if I can find a similar work about Canadians.
Currently reading: The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enriquez. Collection of short horror stories. I've read one of her previous works, Things We Lost in the Fire. So far I prefer this one, though I can't put my finger on why. The stories are very sharp and unsettling, and I find they stick really well. Do give this one a chance if you like this genre.
Reading next: Here's what I currently have out from the library -
God's Shadow: Sultan Selim, His Ottoman Empire, and the Making of the Modern World by Alan Mikhail. I currently know very little about this area of history, so we'll see where this goes.
The Children of Harvey Milk: How LGBTQ Politicians Changed the World by Andrew Reynolds. Have a feeling that this will be very US-focused, though a glance at the table of contents does indicate it has some information on people from other places, so... we'll see.
Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. I checked this one out ages ago, but I don't know if I have the brainpower to handle long-form fiction right now. (But the illustration of Harrow on the cover is totally giving me this 'I'm judging you so hard' expression, hah, so I guess I'll try to tackle it soon.)
