my penultimate read from 2025 @tournamentofbooks.com and this was amazing! it's very smart and funny. Definitely a challenge tho. at first it reads like it's very poorly written but that's deliberate, you'll see

A collage of book covers: Cartographers, All Fours, The Hike, Beautyland, Orbital, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Vanderbilt, The Wedding People, World of Wonders, Ferris.

Hey #BookSky, here’s what I read in January. (Heavy on #TournamentOfBooks selections.)

The Wedding People was my favorite.

Orbital felt like meditation.

World of Wonders was full of delightful metaphors.
