Welcome to the first mini reviews post wherein I write a one paragraph review of books that I’ve read and don’t feel like writing a full review for whatever reason. Because of my inconsistency in posting the last two years, I have a couple dozen books that I’ve read yet never reviewed. Some of these are memoirs, like today’s post, that are wonderful but I don’t love writing full reviews of memoirs all the time; other times I read the book on audio (which I’ve recently stopped doing) and was too distracted so don’t have all that much to say; other times they just fell through the crack and now it’s been forever since I finished it. So, to get caught up, I’ll be doing a post like this every so often, attempting to group them in some loose theme. This month: women’s memoirs. Raising Hare: A Memoir by Chloe Dalton (2025, Pantheon) A woman stumbles upon an abandoned baby hare, takes it in, raises it, and finds the next several years of her life willfully at the mercy of co-habitation with these wild animals. This was a fascinating memoir for a variety of reasons. There’s this idyllic quality to living in the countryside with wild animals like she’s in a Disney movie. There’s also the co-learning of hare development and local ecology which was also fascinating. It’s well-written and enjoyable to read. Perfect for a plane ride (my chosen location to read this!)
