I hate when a book makes me feel as if I don't have a brain.

Betsy (ebburtis) | 1291 comments I started a virtual book group with some old book group members who had moved, or had kids or somehow dropped out of the F2F group from years ago. We met this week via Zoom to discuss Between the World and Me Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates and am starting next months selection tonight, My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell My Dark Vanessa. What a great time!

Betsy (ebburtis) | 1291 comments Also started The Stationery Shop The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali on audio. I'm juggling between this and Island of Sea Women because I can't seem to finish audio books in the library's 2 week time frame since my commute is only about 35 minutes.

Betsy (ebburtis) | 1291 comments Started A Trick of the Light A Trick of the Light (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #7) by Louise Penny on audio for the second time. Had it from the library a few months back and then just got it again and didn't realize initially that I had already read about half the book. Thankfully, once I realized it, the story came back very quickly.

Also started The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig The Whistling Season

I have not been a good communicator on this (or the finished reading) thread. I have started (and finished) 22 other books since I last posted.

Yes, Betsy, I did. I'm addicted. I don't understand, I'm not an accident gawker in real life. I guess I just can't believe he was elected.

Me too. Loving it on audio. Obama is my not-so-secret celebrity crush, so him talking to just me for 29 hours is as close as I'll get to heaven!

Need to select something to read - either e-book or hard copy, just not sure what I'm in the mood for. I started The Power of the Dog The Power of the Dog (Power of the Dog #1) by Don Winslow , which grabbed me right away, but I don't think I'm in the mood for it right now. Might go for a classic or an easier read (Overstory was pretty heavy and long).

Linda | 1693 comments The Women of Brewster Place A Novel in Seven Stories by Gloria Naylor The Women of Brewster Place: A Novel in Seven Stories (had to tear myself away from A Promised Land by Barack Obama A Promised Land). for a book discussion tomorrow. Grabbed me quickly.
