Finished reading Matrix by Lauren Groff set in 12th century England and revolving around a very ungainly lesbian nun who turns the fortunes of a poor monastery she was sent to after being banished from the court for being too ugly. Competently written and a breeze to get through but I imagine it won't stick around in my mind too long. Not sure what message, if any, it was trying to impart but it was fun to spend time in this feminist fantasy for a while. I might check out her other books.

Now onto Crying in H-mart, a memoir by Michelle Zauner, a.k.a. Japanese Breakfast, the musician turned bestselling author, who is actually not affiliated with Japan but is rather half-Korean, about the loss of her Korean mother to cancer and their complicated relationship. She studied creative writing so it's not so surprising she's a skilled writer.
