November Grateful Readings

 



November flew by with a handful of books read and many more added to the TBR list. 

A good mix of audiobooks and hardcovers. A mix of sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, and strong realistic fiction. Just one non-fiction/ autobiography by Amy Roe. 

All The Bad Apples by Moira Foley. Magic realism is set in Ireland.

Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby. Two dads coming to terms with their sons' murder seek revenge. In the process, they learn how to let go of prejudice, injustice, and racial differences.

Becoming Boston Strong by Amy Roe. Inspirational as I'm getting ready to run Boston 2023.

Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng. Mother and son reunited under a system that punishes those that are different.

The Wilderwomen by Ruth Lang. Sisters possess unique abilities, sensing and predicting past and future. Reunited to find their lost mother, they will travel far following their instincts, and meet strangers that will point them in the right direction. Sometimes not all that are wondering are lost. 

Any Signs of Life by Rae Carson. It has been a while since I have read good Sci-fi and loved Any Signs of Life. Paige wakes up feeling confused and tired, why is there an empty IV bag hooked to her? Where is everyone? Why is the house so quiet? Soon she'll discover that everyone is dead.  She might be the last person on earth. So starts Paige's journey to find out if that is true and what the future of humanity might look like.

Illegal (Book #2 Disappeared series) by Francisco X Stork. Emiliano and Sara barely escaped the Cartel in Mexico to end up in the United States fighting for their lives. Sara is in jail and Emiliano is hiding from everyone.  At times predictable, at times hopeful, at times heartbreaking, at times maddening, always a great read. 

The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve. Not my favorite, felt a bit slow. An interesting connection to the current trial.

Summer is made for traveling and reading

My summer was jump-packed with traveling and reading. Summer gives me the opportunity to read outside my regular genres with extra time to delve deeply into my reading and savor stories. This summer's travel included Idaho, Spain, Utah, and South Dakota. Most of my books continue to be audiobooks provided by Libro.fm, Libby, and/or Hoopla. My books came from local Indie bookstores at each location and local Free Little libraries.
