This was good. Very twisty-turny. Now I'm starting "Yellowface: by R. F. Huang.

"Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.

So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I.

So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.

But June can’t get away from Athena’s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June’s (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.

With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang’s novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable."

I'm about a third through it, and it's good, but I'm not seeing why it got so much hype last year. It still has time to pick up, though, I guess.

I'm also re-reading Lonesome Dove for a book club. It's probably my 5th or 6th time reading it since it came out in '85, but I'm not mad about it. It's easily in my top 3 favorite books of all time.
 
I’m reading The Spy and The Traitor by Ben McIntyre.

Great real life story of KGB’s highest ranking defector in the 1980s. Great story!
 
Just finished The Red House by Roz Watkins which was bloody fab. Now on The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff.

I wasn't liking Vaster then I did. Sad little tale mind.

Next up Lead Sister: The Story of Karen Carpenter by Lucy O'Brien.

I love Lauren Groff! She's opening a bookstore in Florida "to discover new ideas and writers, to find your community, to hang out and drink coffee, to be a locus of resistance to the forces of suppression that are so strong and loud right now in Florida." I was an early supporter and have some swag coming.

How fabulous. I'm tempted to try one of her others, can you recommend one?
