Currently reading: This was a slow week. I didn’t get much reading done in The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles at night. The baby is having a sleep regression so I’ve been collapsing into bed each night and waking up early. It ends soon, right?
I try to read The Last Chairlift by John Irving while I’m getting the baby to sleep, but at 3am, reading isn’t the best distraction, so it’s inconsistent. I’m happy with the progress, though.
I’ve made some progress through Bacchanal by Veronica G. Henry. I’d still say I’m early in it, though. I think I’ll be on it for a while. My commute in on Wednesday will help!

Recently finished: Nothing new this week. I did manage one review so you can read my thoughts on This Book Betrays My Brother by Kagiso Lesego Molope. I gave it Two out of Five Stars because of some structural issues I had with the plot and because I didn’t think it translated well to audio. I’m still behind on reviews but trying to catch up!

Reading next: Still no plan. I think I’m going to focus on my reading challenge soon so I don’t find myself far from the finish line in December!

Currently reading: I made some slight progress on The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. Being back at work has me really tired so my progress is still slow as I get my footing under me again. I hope this will pick up soon.
I started the ebook of The Last Chairlift by John Irving and I’m not too enthralled so far. I’ve read a lot of Irving and he can be a bit repetitive so I’m trying to figure out what’s unique in this novel. Still working on it.
I sped through some audiobooks this week so I’ve just started Bacchanal by Veronica G. Henry. It’s a fun mix of supernatural and historical so far, a little reminiscent of Libba Bray’s The Diviners and I’m liking that so far.

Recently finished: I made some great progress this week! I finished the ebook of The Family Outing by Jessi Hempel which I really enjoyed. I thought I was burned out on memoirs but this one was a good way to finish that stretch. Tentative Four out of Five Stars for now.
I finished up A Brief History of Fascist Lies by Federico Finchelstein, too. As the title implies, it was very brief. I didn’t enjoy this one. I think it’s a combination of subject and narration that I’ll get more into when I write my review but it just didn’t work for me. Two out of Five Stars for now.
I also got through a short audiobook of Paradise by Laura Maria Censabella. It was so short I’m waffling on if I’ll do a review. I did enjoy the story a lot, though. I gave it Four out of Five Stars. But with the short run time, I’m not sure how much I have to write up in a review.

Reading next: I’m not going to make a plan just now. My audiobook and ebook are early enough on that I’ll be shocked if I finish anything this week.
