As always, I am reading/listening to multiple books at once.
Audio was selected from my recommendations on Hoopla, Fahrenheit 451, which I saw on their list of audiobooks for me, and I realized I had never read it. Excellent narration.
For the trip up north, my sister and I will listen to the book choice for our NY book club, All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker.
Our last read for the NY group was Small Things Like These. It was a short read, which resulted in a lot of discussion, much of which was a result of several of us going to Catholic school and our experiences with nuns.
My Kindle read, which means what I read in bed, is a time travel, All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai. A good choice for my pre-sleep read, as it is interesting without requiring a lot of braining.
My FL book club just finished The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong; the audio was very well done. It made for a good discussion—incredibly poetic prose, particularly at the beginning and again at the end. The writing helped what was otherwise very depressing realities of life.
In between scheduled book club reads, I am in the middle of the Jane Hawk series from Dean Koontz. Kinda depraved, but I like his ability to bring on the suspense. I'm not enjoying it nearly as much as his Frankenstein series, which I loved.
As a chore, I am trying to finish a snooze fest book written by a neighbor. He was in the family mortuary business, and his books are in that setting.
Lastly, when I am on the beach and reading a physical book, I read "You Never Forget Your First," which is a very amusing biography of George Washington. My sister gave it to me for my birthday because I share my day with George.
So, a few are in progress, which just makes my 'want to read' list get longer by the day!
