Beautiful Ugly, by Alice Feeney

55/60 | Started 10.27.25 • Finished 11.06.25 | 2 stars


Read for book club. Did not enjoy. It was far-fetched and there was so much that was just fantastical and dumb. Would not recommend.

Raising Hare, by Chloe Dalton

53/60 | Started 10.16.25 • Finished 10.26.25 | 4 stars


A unique premise, with just lovely writing and fantastic experiences. Author Chloe Dalton rescues a young injured hare who eventually takes up residence in her home, though remaining somewhat wild and free. This memoir tells of her interactions with this and other hares around her idyllic home during and after the COVID pandemic. Her stories and descriptions are wonderful and endearing. Might need to be in the right mood to read this one, but it is one I would recommend to the right reader. Loved it.
