• Braiding Sweetgrass reviewed by @nightshiftnurse

  7/ 107 out of 10

  one essay at a time, always at the end of a shift, never more. it slowed my heart rate right down and I do mean literally. some of them I loved, some I couldn't get into at all and I stopped pretending

• Wild reviewed by @nightshiftnurse

  6/ 106 out of 10

  I wanted to like this more than I did. the boots, the grief, all fine, but I kept snagging on the amount of it thats a woman being wildly unprepared and getting away with it. maybe that's just jealousy on my part

  funny in the way we are funny at four in the morning, which is to say not really. I laughed a lot and then got very angry, mostly because none of it has changed! the footnotes are the best part of it

• Becoming reviewed by @nightshiftnurse

  9/ 109 out of 10

  listened to her read it herself, over about six nights, and by the end it's like someone talking to me in the dark. the wedding dress bit got me on the bus which is embarrassing but there we are

• Educated reviewed by @nightshiftnurse

  8/ 108 out of 10

  the mountain I believed, the university I believed, the family chapters I had to keep putting the phone down for. lost a point because the last chunk drags and by then I had stopped keeping score of who was in the right
