And that...

On his part, I was like, I'm done.

I don't like sad endings to begin with, but sad endings that are justified.

But I felt like this, he had heightened the emotional part of it in order to elicit a feeling from me that I thought was, that was too much of an ask.

He had no respect for the reader on that book at least.

Wow, I really came down, didn't I?

I don't love a sad ending, but I really don't like to be made to fall in love with a character and then kill them off in a really manipulative way.

I like nonfiction.

I'm actually reading a history right now.

Love it.

Some of my favorite books from the year-long project were histories.

I love memoir.

Yeah, I have no problem with nonfiction.

I've read a lot of narrative nonfiction and enjoyed it.

This just like set me off for a very specific reason.

And I was like, okay, well, I don't know that I can know that when I'm starting, but I can sure be on guard for it.

There you go.

Okay.

Good to know.

Cheryl, what have you been reading lately?
