What have you been reading? What is next?

Happy Friday! Great news about Canada Reads!

This week I reread In the Skin of a Lion to finish up bingo. I read this ages ago, shortly after it was published, so I had forgotten big chunks of it. And I had also forgotten that some of the characters' stories continue in The English Patient, so now I need to reread that as well. :-)

I'm still reading Just Us: An American Conversation. I'm also making my way through Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick: Stories from the Harlem Renaissance, reading a story or two each day. As a palate cleanser, I'm also reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Happy Friday! I finished up Mexican Gothic and I am about to start Anxious People for book club. I might also get into House of Names by Colm Toibin. I bought it this summer and need a change. Stay healthy everyone!

@Susan - I didn't realize that... In the Skin of a Lion has been on my TBR list for a long time. I reread The English Patient last summer and realized that I had forgotten so much about it.

@Wanda - will be interested to hear what you think of Anxious People... I LOVED Beartown and A Man Called Ove but although I enjoyed Anxious People, it did not keep my attention quite the way his other books have.

I have had little time for reading but tonight finished If I Knew Then: Finding wisdom in failure and power in aging by Jann Arden. Thanks to my Secret Sender!! this was a great book. Arden is so open, honest and shares her own failures and reflects on aging. I am recommending this as one of the 5 books to choose from at my work book club. We have learned so much from reading The Skin We're In: A Year of Black Resistance and Power and Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Death, and Hard Truths in a Northern City and need an inspiring book for the new year.

I’m working on my festive spirit with some holiday reads lately. I’m currently reading The Adults and listening to Snow. I also listened to In A Holidaze earlier in the week.
