That does indeed sound dreadful…
I am a shade over halfway in How to Fake it in Society by K.J. Charles. It’s not one of her best but I might just be too distracted right now to be sucked like her books usually do.
On audio, I’m reading Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Evolution by Cat Bohannon. The author is reading it and she is very good. Being an anthropology nerd most of my life, I am fascinated and enthralled with the book.
Just started Out Of Nowhere by Sandra Brown. I don’t think that I’ve previously read anything by her. I like it thus far.
Still reading Still reading Doctor Who: Time Lord Fairy Tales, by Justin Richards. Finished Forensics and Fiction: Clever, Intriguing, and Downright Odd Questions from Crime Writers, by D. P. Lyle, M.D., which was okay; and Gather Round, by John R. Aurelio. It’s a story collection, of which the best was “The Encounter.”
Next up: Toad Cottages & Shooting Stars: A Grandma’s Bag of Tricks, by Sharon Lovejoy, which is a collection of fun outdoor activities; and The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros.
Starting today on The Gate of the Feral Gods (Dungeon Crawler 4), by Matt Dinniman.
Just started Nobodys Girl by Virginia Guiffre.
A difficult read.

Next up: Jane Austen’s Bookshelf: A Rare Book Collector’s Quest to Find the Women Writers Who Shaped a Legend, by Rebecca Romney; and All the Blues in the Sky, by Renee Watson, which is this year’s Newbery Award winner.
John of John by Douglas Stewart. This is the first time I’ve fallen for an Oprah recommendation. This is fiction. It’s a story that takes place in Scotland, and as such, some of the dialog is somewhat indecipherable. It’s the story of a young man who is gay, and of his father who, unknown to the son, is also gay. It’s well written and really does evoke the life of people living on sheep crofts on a Scottish island.
