New “It’s Monday” post, same as the last “It’s Monday” post! I’m outside in my shady outdoor lunchtime spot in the library parking lot, and instead of reading my “Currently Reading” book, I’m hoping the WordPress app on my iPad will cooperate so I can get this post done before the end of my lunch hour.

Currently Not Reading
I am still at the same place I was last week in all three of these books, as I haven’t devoted much time to reading lately. I’m definitely doing something wrong!
The Book of Love by Kelly Link
I borrowed the ebook of The Book of Love from the library, not realizing it was 640 pages long! (Now I can count it towards Big Book Summer!)
In the long-awaited first novel from short story virtuoso and Pulitzer Prize finalist Kelly Link, three teenagers become pawns in a supernatural power struggle.

NPR Laughter Therapy: A Comedy Collection for the Chronically Serious by Peter Siegel et al.
I had this one bookmarked for a short road trip on Libby, since it’s only 2 hours long. But the Patrick Stewart memoir was 19 hours, so we didn’t finish Laughter Therapy, which is made up of clips from various NPR shows, including taped interviews with comedians Joan Rivers and Phyllis Diller.
