Started The Whisper Man
on audio. And Mr. Flood's Last Resort
Gave up on My Year of Rest and Relaxation. Just not for me. I may go back to it at some point point but it is very dark.
One of my library holds became available on audio, so I've paused Whisper Man and moved on to Quichotte
Next up reading
The Miernik Dossier and listening to
Semicolon: The Past, Present, and Future of a Misunderstood Mark
Moved onto finishing one I ran out of time on
See Jane Win: The Inspiring Story of the Women Changing American Politics
Started reading The Bookish Life of Nina Hill
which is the book selection of the month for the Girlfriends Book Club on Facebook.
Moved on to listening to
The Vagabonds: The Story of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison's Ten-Year Road Trip
Started An American Marriage
on audio today and then got the audio of Olive, Again
off my hold list at the library, so started listening to them both (not at the same time, obviously).
Started reading
The Mysterious Mr. Quin and listening to
Running Against the Devil: A Plot to Save America from Trump--And Democrats from Themselves
Started Southernmost
which I had won in a Giveaway months ago.Olive, Again had to go back to the library halfway through on audio (hence my impetus to join audible), and so now I'm listening toThe Sentence is Death
Now reading
Afterlife and listening to
The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz
Reading
The Fixers: The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President and listening to
Women: Our Story
I recently started listening to Such a Fun AgeThis may end up being a book I need to read in print since I'm having trouble telling the two groups of women apart. The child's voice is really creepy.
Nancy wrote: "Just starting Caribbean by James Michener. 700 pages."I think that was the first of his I read. Either that or Mexico. I was always amazed that he could make a book of that length so interesting.
Started Call Me By Your Name
I loved the movie and wanted to be sure to read this and the sequel before that one comes out in movie format. It's read by Armie Hammer, whose voice is just mellifluous!
Reading
Greek to Me: Adventures of the Comma Queen and listening to
Wounded Shepherd: Pope Francis and His Struggle to Convert the Catholic Church
Started The Word Is Murder
on audio - I missed renewing Horowitz' second in the series (The Sentence is Death) which I had started a while back, so I figured I would listen to this first in the series before taking out #2 again.Also started
Eileen. A very strange book so far.
Recently started
I became interested in how the current Middle East came to be after visiting the Maparium in Boston. The book covers the early 2000's and since the author is British, she brings a different perspective than if she was American.
Starting
Black Is the Body: Stories from My Grandmother's Time, My Mother's Time, and MineAlso listen to
Decameron
just started Ancillary Justice I'm reaching into my bookcase and just taking whatever book comes to hand. Trying not to overthink my choices. I've had this on the shelf for a few years and eventhough it is outside my usual reading box, I'm enjoying it so far.
Just starting The Monkey Wrench Gang. I have collected bookmarks from all over the world and many U.S. states. This is the first book in a project to read at least one book that represents each of my bookmarks. This one goes with my bookmark from the Grand Canyon.
I'm 140 pages in and quit on this one. Sci Fi isn't my usual genre but I like to step outside my box on occasion. It wasn't so much that I didn't like the book but that I just didn't understand it. I tried rereading pages and passages and then go forward again but no matter how I tried, nothing worked.
