Air Traffic: A Memoir of Ambition and Manhood in America by Gregory Pardlo1
-
The Ugly Cry by Danille Henderson. Well written. Can be triggering for some. Author's true story about surviving her childhood and ultimately thriving.
I started on Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens, next! I loved the classic black and white movie, but don't recall having read the book prior. It's a great book!
Hi Doug! I had to switch to reading from watching my classic movies as our internet keeps going out! I hope to stay with the reading for a while.

Well this ended up being one book broken into three parts. I read part two and it continued right into part three, Dryad-Born (part 2) and Poisonwell (part 3). Part one was 12 hours on audio (immersion read), part two was 15 hours. Now part three is 17 hours, and this book feels very long. Maybe because it is! I am ready for a new book but I have over half of book three to go (not that it is bad, it is just long).1 -

I started A Tale of Two Cities. I have never read it. I liked Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, so I will give it a shot.1

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dickens! The language is amazing!2 -
My ebook came in from the library, so when I finished up the Dickens book (which I loved) I started Arrow's Flight by Mercedes Lackey. This is book 2 in the Heralds of Valdemar series.1

Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child1

Enemies of the People by Katie Marton. Not entirely reliable, but a very interesting memoir.1
-
Yesterday I read The Last Summer Boys by Bill Rivers for a Kindle Challenge (I won a badge, whoop!) Today I am reading Thunderhead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.2
-
Thunderhead by Preston and Child was the best of the three I have read by them. It introduced the character Nora Kelly and had a recurring character in the journalist Smithback from the first two books, but no Agent Pendergast.
Then I read a pair of books about Dash and Lily written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. Now I am reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune.1 -
Just started Free: A Child and a Country at the End of History by Lea Ypi. Another memoiristic look at the end of the Soviet bloc, this one from Albania. Seems well written and fascinating.
I've also started an academic comic murder mystery (is THAT a genre?) called Book by Robert Grudin. We'll see.1 -
20th Century Ghosts - Joe Hill2

The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo1

Logan's Word: A Logan Family Western - Book 1 by Donald L. Robertson was boring and predictable.

Old Man's War by John Scalzi (semi-humorous sci-fi)1

Margaret Atwood, Handmaid's Tale. Not my cup of tea, but a student decided to write about it so after all this time of saying no, I'm here reading it.1
-
I'm on to The Last Colony (Old Man's War #3) after reading the novella #2.5 last night. The novella was 100 pages, not much to it. I'm really enjoying this series so far.1
-
The Guilt Trip - Sandie Jones - needed a break from the ghost stories.1

I put the new Stephen King on my reading list but the new Terry Brooks came out and I want to read that one first. I have both. I had to reread last year's Terry Brooks book because this new one is a sequel, Daughter of Darkness follows book 1, Child of Light. I don't remember reading book 1 at all. What is happening to my memory?1
