Week 6 - What Are You Reading?

[Joanna]

Tell us your current read here!

(Sorry for such a late and short thread this week. I've been sick the past few days. Being sick really cuts into your reading and work time. Look for a normal length post next week. And thanks for understanding.)

So sorry you are sick. Keep up with medicine so you don’t get REALLY sick. I’m battling headcold #2 of the season & trying to keep it out of my lungs.
I’m listening to NOS4A2 by Joe Hill in my car. I finally checked an audio book out from the library on my phone!!
If I didn’t know better, I would swear his father, Stephen King, wrote it. Great book if you are a fan.
Also I am reading Planetfall by Emma Newman. Just started.
Feel better soon!

I just started “the woman in the window” for my gal pal book club. They’ve all said it’s good and a quick read so I’m looking forward to it.

My weekly reading was a little heavy this time. I read "Not that Bad," Essays on Rape Culture, edited by Roxane Gay. It was a valuable read, but difficult and emotional to read. I found myself putting it down after a couple of essays and having to step away for awhile before tackling it again. At the end of the week, I had bit of a palette cleanser, reading the most recent book (vol.5) of a sci-fi graphic novel series that I highly recommend called "Paper Girls." It begins as a group of teen/tween newspaper delivery girls in 1980s Cleveland suburbs who stumble upon a time portal, and drama ensues. My books for this weekend are a Michael Connelly book (Fifth Witness) and one for Black History Month called the "Strange Career of William Ellis." He escaped Texas as a slave and became a multimillionaire in Mexico.
