I’ve been getting more in the rhythm of reading at night before going to bed. Like most of the population, I too get too much screen time and find it hard to sleep if I stare at a tiny lit screen before going to bed. My favorite in the last few reads is Burn It…
BR: Great Alone, Verity, Recursion, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, & The Glass Hotel
Great Alone by Kristin Hannah {audiobook} The Great Alone is the first book I’ve read by Kristin Hannah. I purchased the The Nightingale on my Kindle for a trip, but never got around to reading it. I’m going to get back to it now though, because if it’s as good as the Great Alone, I’m…
BR: The Motion of the Body Through Space, To Shake the Sleeping Self, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
BR: The Alienist, Why We Swim, and You Lucky Dog
My last three reads are all over the place! From hunting a serial killer in The Alienist to humans relationships with water in Why We Swim to a romance started by two basset hounds in You Lucky Dog. Variety is the spice of life, no?
BR: The Glass Castle, You’re Not That Great, and Dreamland
I didn’t have any photos of all the books. So, instead I’m featuring a photo of the snowstorm that I saw out of my window as I touched down in Minnesota last week. Not normal for the middle of October- but I made the most of it. Ok, now onto my latest reads…
BR: The Silent Patient, Ghosted, Why We Sleep, American Dirt, and This is How it Always Is
A lot has changed since I posted my last book review. It’s suddenly fall here in Cincinnati, NFL season has started, and I’ve completed two of my fall virtual races. And I’ve read a few books and listened to a few audiobooks. It’s a good mix of modern day novels, a thriller, and book written…
BR: White Fragility, Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk, The Turn of the Key, The Kind Worth Killing, And Nothing to Prove
I had great ambition to read several of these books last month. I only made it through one of these, but did finish four audiobooks!
BR: Such a Fun Age, Untamed, Pachinko, and The Giver of Stars
I’ve tried to continue swim/bike/run training even though all my races have been cancelled. I also did the Tighter Together challenge, which was awesome! One thing that helps with runs is audiobooks. I recently made it through a few and one actual book.
BR: A Time to Kill, Gingerbread, Say Again, Yes!, and The Testaments
During February I read four books, well three books and one audiobook. I read my first and definatley not last John Grisham book, a very odd novel that I still don’t quite understand, a gripping story about two neighbors, and the intense sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale.
BR: Sometimes I Lie, Disappearing Earth, My Lovely Wife, I Owe You One, and Mrs. Everything
Instead of writing a post after each book, I thought I’d simply write a shorter recap at the end of each month. My long 2020 list puts me at about ~2 books/month and I’m already behind. Sophie is very disappointed.
