What I’m Listening to Now: The Maid by Nita Prose

A black key hole on a red background. Through the keyhole, you can see the one leg with a grey high heel, a grey skirt, a white apron and apron strings, as a person feels to the left. The text reads, “The Maid. A Novel. Nita Prose”

What I’m Listening to Now: Julie Clark

I joined a knitting group last summer and many of us like to listen to audio books while we knit, so now we’re also a book club! Our first book is Julie Clark’s The Last Flight. And my knit right now is a pair of socks.

What I’m Reading Now: Babel by R.F. Kuang

I remember this being big on Booktok last summer and how many men did not like it and and that just made it more interesting to me. After starting this, I feel like this is also up Kate’s alley too.

Set on the very edge of Patagonia, there is a girl school where there had previously been a tragedy. A mysterious illness once overtook the school. It is now reopening and in 1970s Argentina with a looming military dictatorship, Mavi can’t say no to a job that’ll take her out of Buenos Aires. I’m looking forward to this!
