I finally started reading a new novel, Chris Bohjalian's The Double Bind. I think the only thing I've read from him before was The Midwife, years ago. I am not far into the new book but like it so far.

I also finished listening to The Amulet of Samarkand yesterday and enjoyed it, though the magician kid remained hard to like right up to the end. I still need to read a book recommended by a librarian for the Reading Glasses podcast challenge, so hoping to pick up the graphic novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi today, which I've been meaning to read for years.

This past weekend I listened to Cecily Tyson's memoir Just As I Am on audio cd. It was absorbing and each disc seemed to end in the middle of something interesting, so I wound up staying up late to listen to more. Didn't do much for my ability to stick to my sleep schedule (LOL!) but definitely worth hearing.
Her story reminded me that I'd wanted to read Tina Turner's Happiness Becomes You, and the library system has several copies, so that's where I'm headed today. Guess I haven't checked in here lately? Thought I had, but maybe the lack of sleep had me typing that elsewhere. I'm reading Mary Stewart's Crystal Cave and Buddhism without Belief at bedtimes now that life is back to normal. I've also picked up the habit of reading various philosophical texts when I wake up too early, it's a gentle way to start the day. My latest experiment with improving my sleep hygiene involves this sort of reading, but I don't let myself get up TOO early. Gotta get enough actual rest each day.
