lunabee341. Good news re: Josh's parents--
The estate sale went well, and we made a couple grand.
Josh's dad remembered that they have a $1300 credit at their dentist. I'm not exactly sure how this credit was accrued, but it has something to do with his parents having dental insurance but still paying full price for procedures (which, WTF?). So, he called the dentist, and they're sending him a check for the credit.
One of the people at the estate sale offered to buy the house immediately with cash. The offer was our minimum acceptable price, so the realtor is still going to put the house on the market because he thinks we can get more, but it's nice to have this fall back. We'd already had interest in buying the house from the plumber who came to work on the house over the summer and from Tom's doctor, weirdly enough. So I think the house is going to sell and soon.

How to Dress a Fish by Abigail Chabitnoy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This poetry collection is about Chabitnoy attempting to come to terms with the time her great-grandfather spent in a residential school for native children and also her identity as a person with both indigenous and white roots.
I particularly like that the poems span a range of styles, including snippets from government documents and translations of primary texts.
3.
Jane's Fame: How Jane Austen Conquered the World by Claire Harman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I think it's fascinating how little we truly know about Austen's life and how so much of her image has been fashioned by other people.
Good reading for a Janeite.
