I like to read cookbooks as well. I learn a lot from them.
Right now I'm reading (listening to) Such a Fun Age, which is a Reese Witherspoon pick. I'm kind of enjoying it, but I find the premise a little weird. I'm interested to see where it goes.

Finished Sister of My Heart and really enjoyed it (although somewhat dismayed that it is the first in a series, haha. Finished Accessible Yoga, which I liked (although not a lot new to me); returned to the library Finished another yoga book, The Genius of Yoga. I liked the exercises (kriyas) suggested in this book but didn't like the condescending (to me) tone of the authors. Still reading Breath (I think I'm about 3/4 now). Started Stephen King's If It Bleeds a few days ago.

I think i posted this in the Summer thread but not sure. It seems like ages since I have posted here. I read Washington Black by Esi Edugyan. Excellent and I highly recommend it. Great characters and story and written beautifully.
I also read The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Also a great read. Those were the only two books I have read since the pandemic started. Our book group is meeting in early October to select books for the next year. I am thinking of suggesting the following: The Testaments by Margaret Atwood The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett A Woman of No Importance by Sonia Purnell. I just picked all of them up at Costco. The second two weren't even on my radar screen but now they are. I have tons of unread books on my shelf that I pitched to book group that weren't selected. Not sure when I will get around to reading them so might get rid of the ones I know I will never read (realistically) |

I totally recommend The Testaments for those who have read The Handmaid's Tale. But some of my friends have been watching The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu or Netflix or whichever. And I don't know if that series is over. The Testaments is very conclusive, so people watching the series should wait until it's over.

I am reading British psychological suspense (what a shock!) The book is called "The Dilemma" by BA Paris. My library had ordered it for me. They are offering outdoor book pick ups now.
