What are you reading, Park Ridge? discussion

A little late, but it's March! What's everyone reading this month as we head into spring?

I'm currently reading Who Is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra Andrews and loving it so far. Lots of intrigue along with thoughtful character development. I recently finished Caste by Isabel Wilkerson and highly recommend it- she's a really talented writer and the book is challenging and fascinating.

I just started The Department of Truth by James Tynion IV. It's a sort of X-Files-esque graphic novel where all conspiracy theories are actually true, and there is a secret organization that has been hiding them for years.

I have been hearing such good things about Who Is Maud Dixon! It's high on my "read next" list.

I'm reading Where the Crawdads Sing. So far so good.

I just finished The Midnight Library and really enjoyed it. It starts off with a woman who is feeling a little lost and is reflecting on all the opportunities she didn't take and how her life was not where it could have been. She is feeling so down that she decides she doesn't want to live anymore. She ends up in a place called the Midnight Library, where all the books are versions of her life that could have been based on her choices.

Her exploration of alternatives was well depicted. I would read another book by this author.

I just followed the author of “..Maud Dixon” on Instagram when she did a takeover on her publishers IG and was really witty. Looking forward to reading that.

I just finished Anxious People (Frederick Bachman) and didn’t love it. I wish he hadn’t tried to make it funny, most of the characters were so sarcastic. I was surprised because I’ve like his other books.

So now I’m torn between Meg Mason’s ‘Sorrow and Bliss’ (a Most Wanted book from the PRPL) and the paperback of ‘The Spy Who Came in From the Cold’ that I bought months ago.

Great book!

Glad for the tip on Anxious People. I loved A Man Called Ove, but I may skip Anxious People.

Finished the very quirky Miss Benson's Beetle by Rachel Joyce. Laughed out loud a few times. I loved the characters! Undecided about what comes next. Possibly We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker or The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse. Maud Dixon is on my list!!
