What book did you just start?
I started Station Eleven last night.I have also been listening to Those Who Wish Me Dead on audio.
I continue to trek through War and Peace. I have about 400 pages to go.
Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man’s Fight for Justice and listening to My Losing Season: A Memoir
Also started A Dog's Purpose. I went to the beach today and needed a real book since it is hard to read the iPad in such bright sunlight. It's very cute so far.

Thanks for the recommendation, Betsy.

It was my book discussion's book for tonight. We all really liked it. I'd never heard of it until it was chosen for our read.
I'm reading Between the World and Me. I feel as if I've been waiting forever for it. I think the library bought it on my recommendation.

As with many books, I think it may be a timing thing, so I'll likely try again at some point. Looking forward to hearing what you think. I LOVE Crossing to Safety.
Crossing to Safety is great!The Buried Giant is challenging on audio. I started the last disc this morning. The subject matter is atypical because it is as if Ishiguro tried to write a fantasy book for adults. I am not sure that he fully succeeded. Depending on the ending, right now, it looks like a 3 star read for me.
Started Only Time Will Tell on audio. I used to LOVE Archer's books, but it has been a really long time since I've read one, so I'll see how I like it.Also started The Stranger for my November book group. We're supposed to also be reading The Meursault Investigation but my library doesn't have it and I think because it is new, I can't request an interlibrary loan. I'm not that excited about the book to actually buy this one, so I may just stick with the Stranger and not do the companion piece.
just starting The Paris ArchitectJust finished The Nightingale which broke my heart. Now I'm diving back into Nazi occupied Paris again. Yikes.
Wow am I behind. I'm listening to Jesus: A Pilgrimage at home and The Casual Vacancy in the car. I'm reading Inside the O'Briens as on e-book when I have Wi-Fi (it's part of a survey and I have to check in) and The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare for my at home book.I'm trying to finish things that I've been in the middle of for far too long.
I started listening to Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget on audio. It's very interesting so far.
Started Kitchens of the Great Midwest on audio. I had started reading it when it first came out and didn't care for it, but I wanted to give it another shot since so many seem to love it. So I'm trying it on audio and I am liking it better. It's quirkiness works better on audio for me.Also started Hostage Taker in hardcover. I won this in a giveaway. Good so far.
