HELLO, I write a newsletter every month were I usually muse on something hyper-specific and not at all related to what I'm working on. It's good AND interesting, and not even that long! (it IS free, despite being on Patreon.) this month I talk mostly about dancing, for some reason.

Hello Darlings, August is a month that never quite feels real to me. I want to skip it in my recount of the year, go straight from July to

Some of you really missed the LESS THAN one person in this post. LESS THAN. That is ZERO PEOPLE. I'm mad about cars with ZERO PEOPLE. I am not mad at you for driving your personal commuter. This is about waymo being introduced in Denver. Putting hundreds more cars on the road with NO PEOPLE.

I just don't think there should be cars on the road with less than one person in them...and I don't think that's a particularly radical pov. The goal should be fewer cars with more people in them, and we seem to somehow added cars with zero people into the mix?

Next: Mocking Jay! And I'll have finished the Hunger Games trilogy. The plan is to finish the whole series and watch the movies before Sunrise on the Reaping comes out in November. I'm enjoying it! I think I'd have had more fun as a teenager, but it's worth it to read as an adult, I think.

Hardcover MockingJay by Susan Collins. I've taken the dustcover off to read.

I absolutely loved Sweetbitter Song, though I found the slave/mistress dynamic to be a little... Off. It was trying to examine the relationship of slaves to women, while maintaining a realistic romance line, and to me it never got there. I enjoyed the Hell outta it, though. Next: Catching Fire.

Catching Fire, the second Hunger Games book. 

The dust jacket is off, and it is nakey.

Ultramarine is a great Weird Little Book for WLB enjoyers like myself. I don't know what I just read. I don't know why, but it was beautifully written and made me think about the ocean. Next: Sweetbitter Song by Rosie Hewlett, which feels Apt after just reading Sappho.

Open for commissions! 🌷 I have five slots available for late August! Email me at hannahlockillustration@gmail.com with what you’d like and I’ll get a quote to you.

Read the fragments. It'll take you a couple of hours at most, even if you have to stop and look a bunch of stuff up. I cant believe these 2500 year old words still resonate so perfectly. Next: Ultramarine by Mariette Navarro, translated by Eve Hill-Agnus. This cover?! Incredible.

The Lamb is a beautiful book about the slow realization that you are separate from your parents. (And cannibalism) Its beautiful. Next: We Could Be Rats, which I'm scared to read because suicide is not something I stomach well. But I think maybe that's why I need to confront it!

We Could Be Rats by Emily Austin

The Caretaker is a really intereseresting take on what extreme OCD might look like, and also a really frustrating read about a girl who manages to fail at every turn in an every escalating series of tasks. It's infuriating! Anyway, next: The Lamb by Lucy Rose.
