For a slight variation on "What I've Been Reading", I thought I'd give a run down on what I have checked out of the library.
Physical Books:
Where I Come From, by Rick Bragg - A collection of true short stories about living in the South. I've read a few of the stories and enjoyed them. I shared one, about the perils and pleasures of fishing, with my husband and he enjoyed it as well. Although short story collections don't circulate well in the library, I like them. It's a book I can dip in and out of while reading other things.
To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, by Christopher Paolini - This is the first adult science fiction offering by Paolini. I haven't started it yet, but I have his Young Adult series, the Eragon books, in my own personal collection and reread them occasionally. I'm sometimes a little leery of Young Adult authors who venture into Adult books, but I'm interested to see how he makes the transition.
Where the Forest Meets the Stars, by Glendy Vanderah - This debut novel caught my attention when it came into the library. It's about a mysterious child and two strangers who come together to try and figure out what to do about her. Although I checked it out a while ago, I keep bypassing it to read other things. I'm going to have to either buckle down and read it or bring it back.
All Thirteen : The Incredible Cave Rescue of the Thai Boys' Soccer Team, by Christina Soontornvat - I was fascinated along with the rest of the world in 2018 when I heard about the dramatic rescue of the soccer team from a flooded cave. I'm interested to read the whole story.
Fortune and Glory : Tantalizing Twenty-Seven, by Janet Evanovich - I'm cheating a little bit by putting this on the list because I finished the book last night and turned it in this morning. It is the latest offering in the Stephanie Plum series. Stephanie and her gang of quirky sidekicks and their bounty hunting adventures are always good for a laugh. It has a waiting list on it, so let us know if you want added to the list.
E-books :
Never Caught, by Erica Armstrong Dunbar - This is the true story of Ona Judge, a slave of George Washington who ran away and was never captured. I've just started this but I think it will be very interesting. It is giving details of slave life from the point of view of the slave which I haven't seen very much.
The Last Train to Key West, by Chanel Cleeton - I haven't started this one yet, but I've heard several positive reviews of it. The tag line on Libby reads, "In 1935 three women are forever changed when one of the most powerful hurricanes in history barrels toward the Florida Keys." Sounds intriguing!
DVD :
The Jetsons : Complete Series - For fun and a little nostalgia I also checked out The Jetsons. I'll probably watch some of it this weekend while my husband is hunting. I'm not sure I can convince him to watch the whole thing with me!
Do you see anything here that interests you? What have you been reading lately?
