I always have several books going, one on audio, one at work, one at home (or more) and I try to have different styles and eras so they don't run together in my mind. Also I just like variety, I enjoy mysteries, romance, literary fiction, some nonfiction, but if I read/listen to too many of the same in a row, I don't appreciate them as much.
I have just started The Black Count, about the father of the writer Alexandre Dumas. Sometimes I have trouble staying interested in non-fiction on audio, but his life was so dramatic that is more like fiction.


was a very interesting book




I am also reading






Yay! The reader of this book is great. Although the book is dark, I found myself laughing aloud quite a few times. I hope that you enjoy it, Betsy!

The Yellow Birds is good on audio, but it makes me sad to think about the fallout of these young men and women who have fought in the Iraq and Afghan wars.
BR is going really well. I think that I am going to like it a lot.


I just noticed that one came out. I liked her earlier book. I'll be watching for your comments on this one!






I haven't read it yet either! I've thought about it, but there are always other books ahead of it in my mind.

I am starting Ragtime





I enjoyed the first two "Bookman" books several years ago. Both novels were put together and offered in a single book format. I enjoyed the fact that you didn't have to think, but could just go on and read the next in the series. I did not get to this one, though. Did you read the first two in the series? I am not familiar with the other books you mentioned.
