1. Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman - My book club read this graphic novel this month. I felt like it was one of the best discussions we've ever had and there was so much we found thought provoking and moving. It is very intense and I've thought about it a lot in the weeks since. I definitely want to read Part II.
2. Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett - This was so fun! Emily is a professor writing a comprehensive guide to faeries and her colleague Wendell might possible be a faerie himself. Emily is charming and adorable, and the faeries are mischievous and a little bit creepy. I just started the second book in the series and I'm already loving it as well.
3 & 4. The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion vols 5 & 6 - You know the drill - these books are just perfection. I'm obsessed and I've been telling anyone and everyone about them. I need to buy the hard copies; I definitely want them in my library.
BONUS. I didn't finish one book this month - The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl. Reichl wrote 2 of my favorite memoirs and I absolutely adore her food writing. This one is fiction, and unfortunately, it did not work for me. I gave up in about Chapter 5.
