Blood Memory by Greg Iles

All that She Carried: The Journey of Ashley's Sack, A Black Family Keepsake by Tiya Miles

Needed a distraction so I'm trying The Eyre Affair, a Thursday Next book (who knew?) by Jasper Fforde.

I shall never understand how you can pick up a random book in a series and get involved, without reading all the preceding books recently to get familiar with situation, characters, etc.

That is how books are released in a series, if you read them when they get released. Terry Brooks' books are a year apart and in the same series. I don't save them all up until the series is finished to read them, I read them as they come out. That being said, because I read so many books in a short time I try to limit the number of continuing serial series that I have started at one time. I read the first and second books of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara series in the previous year's time, so it is very easy to remember what I had read and remember my place. YMMV with long books like The Song of Ice and Fire series, I have not read that one. I did read the Outlander series at about one book a year pace, because they are so long... 45 or more hours long on audiobook format. And the gap between book 8 and 9 was 2014-2021, I was able to remember most of what was going on. I reread book 7 before I started book 8 though, because it had been a long time between my readings of those.

I’ve started the Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha lee. Hoping I like it

That is on my TBR list. I own an audiobook copy of the trilogy along with the e-book version for immersion reading. I hope it's good.

I'm reading Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart. It didn't rate very highly on Goodreads and it isn't that great, but I will finish it.

I am about to start The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. My library hold came in!

The Winds of War by Herman Wouk

Hi! Just finished reading “Educated” by Tara Westover and have picked up “Book Lovers” by Emily Henry. Needed something lighter after reading Ms. Westover’s memoir. “The Personal Librarian” is on deck.

Gave up on Disorientation. It's gonna have to be DNF... I also started Rethinking Sex: A Provocation by Christine Emba. I'm going to leave it too. It's not bad, but I expected a more scholarly approach and this book is more common sense. Definitely lacking in public discourse, but I personally don't need to be reminded.

Decided to read another Thursday Next book, 2nd in the series by Jasper Fforde, Lost in a Good Book.

Firefight (The Reckoners, #2)
by Brandon Sanderson

Studied it in school, or at least parts of it (high school censored the good bits). Enjoy!

Vienna Melody by Ernst Lothar is gonna be a keeper! Need a cheat sheet for the characters though....
