This is a young adult book about finding love, about finding your feet so to speak in the world of dating. It has a very diverse cast of characters and is very sweet. Many of the characters were of different races and sexual orientations, though I didn't feel the racial identity of the characters was actually developed.
57. All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai
Wow! This book grabbed me on the first page and never let go! The premise is basically that the narrator is the reason we don't live the Jetsons' lifestyle "promised" to us in the science fiction of the 1950s. The book is part glimpse into the world we're "missing out on" and part the steps that got us this world with a whole lot of chagrin mixed in. I've always been a lover of time travel stories and they are no less appealing given what's happening in the world now... Plus in his world, science is actually important- oh what a utopia!!
58. So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson
This was a book I had heard a lot about when it first came out. I didn't read it right away, and then when I did look for it at the library, I had to wait for a few months before I could get a copy- that many people wanted to read it! And guess what! It was totally worth the wait. It is an engrossing and quick read. I'm not particularly active on social media, but this book definitely felt completely relevant to me.
59. Cats in Space and Other Places edited by Bill Fawcett
This is a collection of Sci-Fi stories that feature a cat (or more) in them. Some of them are quite old and show their age, but it's still a fun read for a cat lover like me! My favorite stories are The Tail by MJ Engh and Space-Time for Springers by Fritz Leiber.
60. 青年靜思小話:感思,尊重,愛 Gratitude, Respect and Love: The Teachings of Dharma Master Cheng Yen (中英對照)
I was given this book on meditations a long time ago, and I thought it was a good time to reread it and reflect. Some I love, some not as much. And lots of Chinese words I don't know!
