Currently Reading - June 2018

[Russell]

Hello everyone! I know that this is a little late getting up! I just am getting back from Book Expo in New York and am back at work.

I am currently reading Free Food For Millionaires by Min Jin Lee. I am loving it! It is a big one, but is so involving.

I have also started to listen to No One Can Pronounce My Name by Rakesh Satyal : and am really liking it as well.

What are you reading this month? Please let me know.

I just finished “Everything I never told you “ loved it so good and moving. Going to start reading “Idaho” by Emily Ruskovich and Sorry to Disrupt the Peace by Patty Yumi Cottrell. Happy reading!

I'm reading A Circle of Quiet by Madeleine L'Engle (author of A Wrinkle in Time). This is a memoir and I. I'm finding it enjoyable.
Also on the list is Tomorrow by Damian Dibben. I won a copy of Tiny Man by Sarah Winman recently and this may be on the agenda this month.

I hear that L'Engle had a very interesting life. I need to look for that. I hope you've Tin Man - it will break your heart and put it back together only to break it all over again. It is so amazing.

This past week I finished Sal by Mick Kitson and I Remember You: A Ghost Story which were both awesome. Both were recommendations from BookTube!

[Dipti]

I just finished 'Children of the New World' by Alexander Weinstein. Its got futuristic short stories that remind you of the Netflix Orig - Black Mirror. I'm also reading 'The Three-body problem' by Liu Cixin that I started in May. June is about Sci Fi and futuristic stories for me.

I picked up The Monk of Mokha by Dave Eggers at the library not realizing it is non-fiction. It's really fantastic! It's a biography of a modern Yemeni American part of an immigrant family in San Francisco, who in the late 2000's found a passion in the history of Yemen being one of the first to produce coffee, and becomes determined to bring Yemeni specialty coffee to America. The storytelling quality from Eggers is really incredible, I've found it to be a page turner.
