1. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, J.K. Rowling and Stephen Fry (borrowed)
2. Wisp of a Thing, Alex Bledsoe (library)
3. The 2018 Best American Essays, ed. Hilton Als (mine)
4. The Language Instinct, Stephen Pinker (mine)
5. Dreamsnake, Vonda McIntyre (library). Late 1970s science fantasy, and very much of its decade. There's casual polyamory and queerness in a way that I really appreciate, and there's some really interesting stuff in the worldbuilding, but overall the book just didn't grab me -- it felt a bit flat and shallow, and I never really felt invested in the plot or the characters.
I am now at 2/15 for pre-2019 books.
