And the last day of the Book Advent Calendar (also apparently some sort of minor religious holiday, I gather).

Today's offering: To Be Taught, If Fortunate, by Becky Chambers.

The seventh candle is We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, by Karen Joy Fowler. It's hard to know what to say about this book, because I advise approaching it as fresh as possible. The story is told in a certain way ("start in the middle," the narrator's father tells her) for a reason. A story about a family coping with a rupture that won't heal.

#BookishAdvent Day 24
Mexican Gothic - Silvia Moreno-Garcia

When Neomí receives a frantic message from her newlywed cousin, her father forces her to visit them at their estate in the mountains. What Neomí finds is a dark mystery that threatens everything she knows. My absolute favorite read of the year. Moreno-Garcia writes a beautiful, haunting novel.
