Man's Search for Meaning reviewed by @annotatedannie
Two books stapled together. The first is a witness statement and it's unanswerable. The second is a therapy manual from 1946 and I skimmed a good deal of it. Eleven yellow tabs in part one. None at all in part two.7 out of 10@annotatedannie

Two books stapled together: one of the great camp memoirs, and a therapy pamphlet I would not have finished on its own.8 out of 10@w_okonkwo

He who has a Why can bear any How. Nietzsche said that, and Frankl proves it. I read this in one sitting and I have not been the same person since; it is a small book carrying an entire cathedral inside it.10 out of 10@an_ordinary_tuesday

Braiding Sweetgrass reviewed by @nightshiftnurse
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 pretending7 out of 10Braiding Sweetgrass

Wild reviewed by @nightshiftnurse
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 part6 out of 10Wild
