Listening to David Sedaris' When You are Engulfed in Flames, and reading Our Souls at Night, a novel by Kent Haruf, and a memoir titled Men We Reap by Jesmyn Ward. Really enjoying all 3.
I finished Where the Crawdads Sing - first book for pleasure in over 3 months! I loved some parts of it including descriptions of the marsh, the story during Kya's early years and the legal scenes, but the romance sections were just too Young Adult for my taste. That said, I'm happy to be a reader again and appreciate Crawdads for dragging me out of my drought!
I enjoyed Crawdads a lot ---but whatever took you back to being a reader is a great thing. I think we have all been there and it's a wonderful thing to find a book that gets you back to reading.
Welcome back.
Now that I'm a reader again, I'm moving on to Merchant of Sonoma: Pioneer of the American Kitchen by William Warren. It is a biography of Chuck Williams - best known for starting the cooking store, Williams Sonoma. My husband reads about 6 books a year and always wants me to read what he enjoyed. About 5 of those 6 books have something to do with sailing which is totally not my jam, so I jumped in on this one. Page 11 - so far, so good!
Just finished Before We Were Yours, such a sad and beautiful story. Before that was A Wise Man's Fear, Patrick Rothfuss. Good god man! Finish the 3rd book!!!

I finished the book on Queen Victoria which was really quite good, and I definitely liked a lot of the descriptions of the norms of the times so to speak. The history got a little more involved and I tend to gloss over it , but I may have missed some important points. Overall it was pretty good. The author is Julia Baird.
I just started My Sister the Serial Killer which someone suggested and as with most books I read, I had no idea what it was about other than the title and that it was suggested. It's actually a hoot so far; quite surprised at that! It is not a big book at all and I think I will probably finish it within a day or two.
I just started, "Night Boat to Tangier" by Kevin Barry. But I won't be able to finish it, as it is due back at library tomorrow & they won't let me renew it, as someone else has it on hold. I will see how late I can stay up to see if I can finish it. Enjoying it so far.
Was considering reading the new book that was just picked by Oprah (before Oprah picked it), but man o man, after reading this and the corresponding brouhaha on twitter, I'm crossing it off my list.
