Costa, Emily. Until It Feels Right. Orlando: Autofocus Books, 2022.
I recently heard about this set of diary entries about having OCD during the early part of the pandemic (something I also experienced), and ordered it right away because of its subject matter and my new interest in reading diaries.
Moore, Carley. Heart Less: Poems. Brooklyn: Indolent Books, 2024. Two copies.
Moore is one of my favorite writers, and this is her first full-length poetry collection. Indolent Books did a crowd-funding campaign for this book, which I contributed to as soon as I heard about it. They decided to produce the book with two different covers, so I bought both. They arrived yesterday. I was wondering how I would choose which copy to read, and it turns out that Moore inscribed them both but that the inscriptions are not the same (it is nice that she personalized them rather than just sending the same inscription to each backer), so I’m going to read the copy with the inscription that means the most to me.
vermette, katherena. Real Ones. Toronto: Hamish Hamilton, 2024.
I’ve loved the work by vermette that I’ve read previously, so when I heard she had a new novel out I bought it immediately.
