13. Finished "Women of a Promiscuous Nature" by Donna Everhart

Scary, maybe even more terrifying than The Handmaid’s Tale because it depicts true events in the US in the 40s.

On a lighter note, I’m starting The True True Story of Raja the Gullible by Rabih Alameddine, about a 63 y.o. teacher in Lebanon who accepts a writing residency in the US leaving his nosy elderly mother behind in Beirut.

Like you, I feel like every day is April Fool’s Day, but it’s not funny.

Have a good week everyone!
