Do you reread books or are you done with them once you’ve read them?
I like to reread books sometimes! Rereading is especially good if I’ve just finished something heavy or intense; I can follow that up with something that I’ve enjoyed before so it doesn’t take too much effort and I can have a bit of a break. I also don’t have the greatest retention for what I read, so even if I’ve read something before there’s no way I’ll remember everything. And there are certain books that are comforting and cozy and those are great to reread when I want that kind of mood.
Midnight in Chernobyl was so good! A good companion to that one is Voices from Chernobyl which is first-hand accounts from the people who were there. It’s haunting and viscerally honest and an excellent read.
I loved Spillover too, though monkeys and bats make me much more uneasy now after reading it.
Bats have become legitimately terrifying after reading Spillover. So cute, so apocalyptic
