Claire Tomalin’s autobiography A Life of my Own.

Gonna thread my 5/5 books this year as I go along. Book friends: Agree? Disagree? Similar recommendations? 📚 All Our Yesterdays may be my all-time favourite now. I love Natalia Ginzberg!
There is a finding sunny spots to read and have a coffee/tea theme :) Another Natalia Ginzberg, because I needed more: The Little Virtues. Hilarious to read her thought about England in these personal essays! I love an essay!
Arrangements in Blue by Amy Key was so great to read, articulated so many of the feelings I’ve had with adult-singleness (I hate how that sounds) and woven together with Joni Mitchell’s Blue album which means so much to me, too.
As I knew it would, Crying in H Mart ripped me to shreds but 5/5! I’m happy on this memoir track.
Another 5/5! Though I thought, how could so many people recount their lives in such a learned way? Am excited to read the other 2 in the series.
But also! To your point, are you enjoying Oku? I’m definitely not wedded to Goodreads!
Yeah I’m enjoying it! I’d recommend giving it a whirl, and you can import from goodreads too
