I just started The Magicians. I've read it and The Magician King before and am re-reading them both before moving on to the final book in the trilogy.
Started And After Many Days. Got it as an uncorrected e-book from someplace and I can't remember where. It was a site where you earn points and you can then use the points to "buy" a guaranteed early release or use the points to put in an entry into a drawing. Sound familiar to anyone?
I started The Cuckoo's Calling on audio. And I finally got A Little Life back out from the downloadable library for the third, and hopefully last time. I hope I can finish it up in these two weeks.
just starting Chronicle in Stone The reading challenge I've set for myself is to read a book by an author from every country in the world (194). I'm starting with Albania. I got this idea from The World Between Two Covers: Reading the Globewhich I own and can't wait to read as well.

I'm listening to Still Life on my commute. Louise Penney's books have been recommended to me by a few people and I was finally able to get the first one from the downloadable library.I know I owe everyone a poll. I got the latest magazine, but put it somewhere in my house and haven't unearthed it yet. Soon - promise!
Started The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House on audio. An inside peek at the workings of the White House.
Started Broken Monsters on audio. I didn't mean to pick another mystery/thriller, but didn't realize that's what it was when I started playing it.
Recently started
for my journey around the world. Also rereading
for a F2F book group. Loved it the first time around, loving it again (this time on audio, narrated by Jim Broadbent)
Started Saint Mazie on audio and picked up The Orphan Master's Son again for my book group next month.

Me, too after I finish the book. Thanks for letting me know, Betsy.
I'm listening to The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food by Dan Barber. Barber is the chef/owner of Blue Hill in NYC and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in upstate NY. I'm a huge foodie and tried to get into Blue Hill last time I was in NYC, but the wait for reservations is long. I've settled for reading the book which is quite interesting.
I'm reading a book called The Abbey. Written by a Jesuit priest I've seen posts by on Facebook. It takes place in the Philadelphia area, my hometown, so that adds to its charm for me. It's religious without preaching. Liking it so far.
Sisters in Law: How Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World

Linda wrote: "
Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg(Am I in a rut or just got a theme going?)"
It must be a theme!
I finished both my audio and paper book that I had going. I love picking the next book! I should finish one of the few I already have going, but probably won't. I think I'll be listening to Did You Ever Have a Family
My choice has been made. Drum roll please...I decided to read The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer. She is supposedly the First Lady of the Regency Romance subgenre and I've never read any of her books. This one gets good ratings here on Goodreads and sounds like a lot of fun.
I started Incarceration Nations: A Journey to Justice in Prisons Around the World on audio. Interesting so far.
I'm listening to Inside the O'Briens. I loved Still Alice, didn't care for Love, Anthony, but this one is pretty good. I just saw that Russell Crowe is starring in the movie.

Started Instructions for a Heatwave on audio. I've enjoyed everything I've read by Maggie O'Farrell, so I'm hoping this will be the same.
