And we are off to 2022 with a year of anatomical titles. Our mix of books contains two collections of short stories, one collection of autobiographical essays, seven works of fiction, one non-fiction, and something we’ve only done once before, a book for young readers. (Many of us are grandmothers or great-aunts, we have to know these things.)
The titles are:
January: Heads of the Colored People by Nafissa Thompson-Spires
February: The Beauty of Your Face by Sahar Mustafah
March: I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron
April: Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk
May: The Hand That First Held Mine by Maggie O’Farrell
June: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown
July: Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood
August: River Teeth by James Duncan
