something I've wanted for ages is, rather than a book club, a way of finding interesting people who want to swap messages about a certain book So, as an experiment: I'm currently reading "Wired for Love" by Stan Tatkin, if you've read + want to chat about it hit me up!

@TheBrowser ok so it looks like I only read two non-fiction books that came out this year, but they were both superb and would be high up my list of best books regardless: "Do Not Disturb" by Michela Wrong and Sea State by Tabitha Lasley
