That way, I'm never without something to read. :-)<br /><br />Cool, will have to check some of these out, though my TBR list is already longer than I am likely to live.

Good to hear it's worth the read.<br />How do you read so many books at once? I read books fairly fast, but only one at a time.<br /><br />I did a full review of Spellwright for my disabled writer blog. I recommend it, though it does have slow spots and ableist language. <br /><br />Everything I Never Told You is lyrically written and an excellent account of loss and what it's like to be an outsider. It may say there's a mystery about a girl's death and there is, but don't read it for that... because it's not a murder mystery.<br /><br />Lovecraft Country did a good job at being intriguing (fantasy/science fiction) and took on racism. A very solid read but not fantastic.<br /><br />I loved A Darker Shade of Magic. The world was cool, the hero and heroine were good together, and it had plenty of action.<br /><br />Crime and Poetry was a cute cozy, but most of it is gone from my mind already... so...<br /><br />Wait, I'm running away with myself... <br />Most had merit...<br />Jennifer Ruth Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04699005759754946494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153239170529797909.post-45966027532347910552016-09-21T14:39:26.985-06:002016-09-21T14:39:26.985-06:00I just finished reading Michael Chabon's Yiddi...I just finished reading Michael Chabon's Yiddish Policeman's Union, which was beautiful and amazing! I just started Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits by David Wong on audiobook. I'm also working my way through Ulysses by James Joyce for my Monday night classics book club, The Snarling Citizen for my neighborhood book club, and Sisters of the Revolution. <br /><br />I've been doing more audiobooks because I do struggle to fit reading time in with the day job, the family, and my own writing time. But, I feel lost when I'm not reading enough. <br /><br />Anything in your pile grab you as really a great read? <br /><br />@mirymom1 from<br /><a href="http://samanthabryant.com" rel="nofollow">Balancing Act</a>Samantha Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684962313482409801noreply@blogger.com
