Just My Type by Simon Garfield
Ah, I loved this. I'm sure it would have been better not as an audiobook, so I could see the fonts, but still.

Barnum by Robert Wilson
A really interesting biography, especially to see how many other major 19th century figures he interacted with -- and how many fires he experienced.

The Mansion of Happiness by Jill Lepore
I don't know that the chapters cohere into one theme, but they were each fascinating in their own right. Recommended.

How the South Won the Civil War by Heather Cox Richardson
I'm a total HCR fangirl, so I couldn't figure out why I wasn't liking this. I decided: the title is wrong. It led me to expect a book about the rise of Jim Crow, but instead the book in an overarching history of attempts at oligarchy in the US.

The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz
Super fun -- a good mix of mystery/thriller and social commentary.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Ah, I enjoyed this so much. No spoilers, but this was phenomenally fun and the ending did not disappoint.
