This time I cannot share what I have and haven't read without revealing any spoilers - trust me, I'll have to leave it at that. Once you share your wrap-up, I can then tell you 😉
As for books on 'becoming'...I am sure I've read many but my mind is blank right now. If/when they come to me, I'll pop back in and share.
I'm 1/3 of the way into The Marriage Portrait (Maggie O'Farrell), which is good so far. I have 5-6 other books on the go, but that's the only one I'll mention for now.
I'm so inspired by how much you read and what you choose! Being a parent is such a huge part of any identity, especially to littles. It's good you're preparing yourself for the upcoming shift. With two small ones in my house, I find it hard to get through one book a month let alone many, what's your trick?!
For me, I'm reading Anna Karenina again, a book on cyanotypes, and almost done rereading Til We Have Faces by CS Lewis. Lewis's space trilogy was lent to me by a friend so for the sake of not hoarding her book, I'll read that one next, but both Lispector and de Céspedes are now on my ever growing list.
Oh what you're reading sounds really interesting! Re how I read so much… I don't work (for money, I work a hell of a lot in the house though hahaha), I sleep less than I could, listen to at least one audiobook a month (sometimes more, depends how long they are) in the car, on walks etc. I'm also nap trapped often and use that time to read. In a way, the biggest shift had been since I started writing these lists. They are really making me take my reading seriously- I think about them for a long time, do light research and try to find themes and similarities so it all flows once I've decided what I'll read.
Yet another fun and intriguing list.
