Bookwormish, 2nd quarter of 2021

Ha. Yeah, I guess life has indeed been so hard (see note below) that it's now November and I still have sitting here a nearly complete draft of my write-up about the books I read in the second quarter of this year. As in, books I read from April to June. And now it's November. (This write-up was already very belated even when I first wrote it, sometime over the summer, and then things got even harder and I never had a chance to come back to finish it.)

So I'll just share this as it is, with my thoughts mostly complete. Not sure whether I'll do posts for the third (long since fled) and fourth (racing toward its close) quarters of this year. I was thinking I was going to come here and say that I'm probably going to have to stop writing these quarterly round-ups entirely – but rereading this one reminded me how much I enjoy doing these! So, we'll see. Maybe I'll do a very abbreviated list of just top favorites, of the 3rd & 4th quarters squished together, at the end of the year?

Dunno... Anyway, here's what I wrote for the second quarter of 2021:
