I started and finished The Family Next Door by Sally Hepworth yesterday. It was okay - kind of like a soap opera.
I'm thinking about establishing some kind of reading goal for this year, but I also feel very strongly that I will fail any goal I set.

I let all my books run out (library site) on my kobo so last night I downloaded some easy reading:
Behind a Mask as well as Under The Lilacs both by Louisa May Alcott
The Real Grey's Anatomy
The Obsession by Nora Roberts
Holidays In Heck by PJ O'Rourke
You Really Couldn't Make It Up by Jack Crossley.
We'll see if I can get half of them read before they expire!

If you expect to fail any goal you set, why not make it your goal to fail? When you fail to make that goal you will succeed! |

About a quarter of the way through The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig. It's a little scary so I usually read between 6-7pm and then try to do something wholesome, funny or calm afterwards so I don't obsess about the book while I'm lying in bed.

Charles Addams: A Cartoonist's Life
I usually don't like biographies, but I am really enjoying this one.

I just got Maus from the library, so I’m starting it today. I remember a number of years ago when Sprockey posted about Elliot reading it, and then when it was in the news recently I thought I really should read it.

I believe there was a sequel, but by then I was reading less Holocaust and Jewish history stuff. |

I'm reading Atomic Habits to discuss with my therapist, who is also reading it.

Just finished listening to The Jane Austen Society narrated by Richard Armitage for one of my book groups. I really enjoyed it, & can’t wait to get my print copy back from a friend so I can go back & find a few passages I really liked. For my other book group this month, I need to read The Lake House.

I'm reading a Louise Penny book - the first one featuring Inspector Gamache. Apparently she's a very famous, popular Canadian author. So far it's a good book

Started reading You're On An Airplane: A Self-Mythologizing Memoir by Parker Posey - it's really good! And I love her, not just from her association with Christopher Guest movies, but I watched Party Girl while I was in labor with Maeve!

Reading An Instance of the Fingerpost. Hard going. I did finish it in the end, but I just can't get into The Intuitionist. I'm really sorry, it took me ages to get a copy, and I really respected the person who recommended it to me. |

I started reading "A is for Alibi" by Sue Grafton. It's really good. I was looking for a good crime series and this certainly fits the bill. She's WAY up the alphabet and I'm just on "A".

Still working on September book club books The Nightingale and Where the Wind Leads. Hopefully I’ll have time to read October’s books Stiff and The War That Saved My Life. (I’m kind of tired of books set during WWII…)
