Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. Unsurprisingly, I’ve become more conscious of my bedtime, but one small diagram was significant to me— having small periods where you wake up every 3 hours or so was a normal part of sleep. Since then, I’ve become less stressed over the quality of sleep I was getting, which then improved my sleep quality…

All but my life by Gerda Weissmann Klein.
An amazing autobiography of a lady who survived WW2 and Nazis. It was very emotional and it felt like she was paying homage to all the little things that contributed to her survival.I would highly recommend.
The Broken Earth Trilogy by NK Jemisin. Fantastic and heartbreaking. It’s kind of a crossover in science fiction and fantasy, set in a world that experiences apocalyptic levels of climate and geological change every few hundred years. Jemisin does excellent world building and a very admirable job of writing parts of the narrative in second person in a way that seems seamless/not gimmicky. Highly recommended.
I loved those books! In the beginning second person felt extremely weird, but the “resolution” of why it is written that way made so much sense that it made the books even more enjoyable IMO.
