Currently reading Max Perkins: Editor of Genius. It's a little bit of a slog, if I'm honest, but there are a lot of interesting tidbits about some of the authors Perkins edited (F. Scott Fitzgerald and Hemingway, just to name a few).
What books are you reading?
In the same vein as movie/music threads...
Wow, I'm on the same wavelength as you guys! Just finished up Then There Was You a couple weeks ago and Boundaries the other day!

The Necron Codex so I can play with my army after I paint them and this hobby doesn't turn into me doing anything but painting tiny pieces of plastic.
I have the best signature ever!

Jelly: Was this meant to be ironic?

I just finished The Shepard's Wife, excellent book. Up next for me is A Mosaic of Wings by Kimberly Duffy. New author for me.

Haha, what are the odds? That's great. You clearly read a variety of books!Petrichor wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 9:58 pm Wow, I'm on the same wavelength as you guys! Just finished up Then There Was You a couple weeks ago and Boundaries the other day!

I'm moving on to "All Made Up" by Kara Isaac. I'm really looking forward to it because the earlier three books by the author all have the main character of this book as a minor character, and she's very interesting!

I'm in the middle of Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson, and I'm also listening to Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez. I almost always listen to books as opposed to reading them because I rarely find the time to sit down and just read. I don't necessarily agree with all of the things in the latter book, either, but it has been a really fascinating read having grown up in the heart of American evangelicalism. It reminds me that my relationship with Christ should always be personal and biblical, not swayed by popular opinion or even the "talking heads" of Evangelicalism which are often not promoting sound doctrine.
That sounds really interesting, JIA! I enjoy audiobooks, though I still read more paper books.
I'm starting "One Thing I Know" by Kara Isaac. It looks good, and I've enjoyed all her other books, so I expect this one to be great as well!

I finished A Mosaic of Wings, wonderful story. Up next for me is The Woman in the Green Dress by Tea Cooper. New author for me.

Just finished Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn. It was an epistolary novel with a conceit that every time a letter of the alphabet falls off a sign in the town, the residents have to stop using the letter. Fun concept, but probably only something I'll read once.
Now I'm reading A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner. I started her Queen's Thief series years and years ago, but I just couldn't get into them at the time. I think this time they're catching my interest a bit more!

Currently reading Hitler 1889-1936 Hubris by Ian Kershaw
That sounds like heavy reading, Jonathan.
I just started "Start With Me" by Kara Isaac. It's her newest book. I've been reading through her books and really enjoying them, so after this one (the sixth) I'll miss having another one waiting for me!

I finished The Woman in the Green Dress, wonderful story. Up next for me is Minutes to Die by Susan Sleeman. It is the second book in her Homeland Heroes trilogy/series.

My goodness gracious. Good luck with that.
Hopefully it's interesting along the way!
