It’s Monday, What Are You Reading? 4-10-23

Bookshelf with text across the top reading "Speaking of Books..."

More baby time this past week! A visit from the kids with the baby during the week and then I flew back to Maryland with them for Easter weekend. I babysat the little one (7-1/2 weeks old) so the new parents could go to church together on Sunday morning.

About 15 minutes after the mass would have started (so only 25 minutes into babysitting session) I sent a desperate “better come home quick, baby is inconsolable” text. Followed less than a minute later with “never mind, she’s asleep.” Baby proceeded to sleep for almost two hours. How’s that for easy babysitting?!? Of course, I was afraid to move from the couch for fear of waking her up, nor could I risk putting her down in her crib. So thank goodness for audiobooks! 😉

From a walk with the kids. We didn’t risk having me walking with her outside while I was babysitting on my own!

Publishers Weekly Bestseller

Whose truth is the lie? Stay up all night reading the sensational psychological thriller that has readers obsessed, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends With Us.

This is absolutely going to be my last Colleen Hoover. 😉 It took so long for the library download to come through, I started reading it when it was finally my turn, but I’m spending more time trying to listen to an overly long audiobook, Fairy Tale by Stephen King, before that library loan expires. (There’s really not a chance I’ll get through it. As I’m listening, I keep thinking how much extraneous conversation could be cut, but maybe it will all be shown to be important by the end.)

Come to This Court & Cry by Linda Kinstler

Come to This Court & Cry (Public Affairs, 2022) by Linda Kinstler

“In her gripping debut, Kinstler traces how the crimes of World War II have been prosecuted and justice attempted over generations — how memories have been formed and used, usurped and omitted.” – The Washington Post

Come to This Court & Cry: How the Holocaust Ends (Public Affairs, 2022) by Linda Kinstler is an extremely well-researched work of journalism that grew out of the author’s investigation into family history – specifically her Latvian grandfather, whose position during the Nazi occupation was unclear.

An Elegant Defense by Matt Richtel

An Elegant Defense (Mariner, 2020) by Matt Richtel

The Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times journalist “explicates for the lay reader the intricate biology of our immune system” – Jerome Groopman, MD, New York Review of Books
