I am reading House of Hollow
, reading and watching the Apple TV adaptation of
Lessons in Chemistry. Listening to
Night Side of the River.Last but not least as I try to accomplish every year,
The Christmas Chronicles: Notes, Stories and 100 Essential Recipes for Midwinter.The surprise is Lessons in Chemistry. I never thought I would enjoy that book but I am being proven wrong. The adaptation is good as well.

ooh . . I am trying (really hard) to read Marlon James' " The Book of Night Women" which has been on my shelf for 6-7 years. Might have to hibernate this one. November is already depressing enough!

The House of Doors was curtailed when Libby returned it an hour earlier than I expected last Sunday. So there's a l-o-n-g list to get it again so I moved on to the next book that would have to be returned
The Court at War: FDR, His Justices, and the World They Made only to have it returned an hour earlier than what my computer was telling me. (I think both had to do with the time change last weekend.) And, again, there's a list for that one.So, I moved on to
Banned Books: The World's Most Controversial Books, Past and Present which was a quick listen and I was able to return it to Libby on my terms.Now, I'm listening to
The Dyslexic Advantage (Revised and Updated): Unlocking the Hidden Potential of the Dyslexic Brain.And, I'm mindful that any audio I secured before the time change may disappear an hour early.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Had to go down to Victoria for an operation and took two books with meOne which I finished was The Canadian Heavyweight Title
. This was a somewhat thin book so I got it finished.The second one, which I had read a bit of already but want to finish and get it off my currently reading shelf was The Van Rijn Method
a collection of linked science fiction stories by Poul Anderson. Not quite half-way through but it is rather thick book.
