12. A few, as usual

Just started listening to Best Day Ever. Suffice it to say, this is not in fact the best day ever. To say anymore would be too much of a spoiler. But, so far, it is a terrifying book

Reading Afterlife by Marcus Sakey. Part thriller, part philosophy, part love story.

Also reading A Separation by Katie Kitamura. Interesting take on separation, divorce, love, etc. a bit slow going, but I want to see how it all turns out.

Making my way slowly through Golden Hill, set in Manhattan in 1746. I have no idea if his depiction of life in the mid 18th century is accurate, but it is eye-opening nonetheless. It’s a bit of a slog and I find myself asking the author to get on with it. No read mostly police procedurals and stuff like that so this is a bit of a diversion for me.
