I had the good fortune this month to return to the Yale Writers’ Workshop, where I spent two weeks talking about craft with talented and inspiring authors, published and soon-to-be. But that also meant less time for reading, though I am well ahead of my annual reading goal of 100 books, having completed 70 at the time of this writing.

These are the books that rounded out my first half 2024 reading list. Especially check out Palimpsest by Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom; I had the opportunity to interview Lisa in June. Patreon subscribers of the Adoptees On podcast can hear the interview here!
