On to my fifth book of 2025 — Tommy Orange’s debut novel “There There”:

A wondrous and shattering award-winning novel that follows twelve characters from Native communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow, all connected to one another in ways they may not yet realize.

I gotta say, my new routine of reading early in the morning before work is really paying off. I’m already on track to read more than I did in 2024 by March or April, and I’ve incorporated way more fiction.
