I'm reading Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood. [ 20% ] 📚
This book deserves a weirder status update than this, but it’s all I’ve got at the moment: I’ve previewed, preordered, started, stumbled, and restarted this book a couple of times now, but this time it is taking and I’m sure I’ll continue…

Re-read the first chapter, which I previously read as a digital sample, and which I believe I also read an early version of previous to that a year or two ago in The Atlantic or The New Yorker or somewhere like that, convulsively pre-ordered the book and impatiently waited for it to come out and arrive in the mail, only to not start it for a month or two since receiving the book, and I am only now getting to it. Ditto for The Wayfinder by Adam Johnson, which I also compulsively ordered in the same shipment. Will get to that soon as well, I think?
(Slipping in an “Items Obtained” sidepost here at the end as well, I guess - Hardcover copies of The Pathfinder by Adam Johnson and Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood. I’m kind of ashamed of where I ordered them from now, so I don’t want to say…okay it was Target of all places - we’ve had one of the 5% off credit cards there forever - but never again for preordering books, or much of anything else. WTEBAY does have at least one short scene in a Target so far, so might have been appropriate, actually.)
