Thanks Laura! I just bought the Kindle version for $3.99 (great price).

I am currently reading Running with Sherman by Christopher McDougall. I'm really enjoying it.

I prefer non-fiction so this is what I'm reading this spring:

Right now, I'm reading Gary Player's Black Book: 60 Tips on Golf, Business, and Life from the Black Knight

Up next, I'm going to read:

The Book of Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Making the Most of Every Moment, the Japanese Way

1919: The Search for Mankind’s Greatest Killer. It's about how the Spanish Flu affected professional sports. Very timely considering our current situation.

Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster. I'm #59 in the library queue for this one, so I might not be reading this until fall!

Any other Sarah Maas fans? I read the new House of Earth and Blood and admit I was terribly disappointed. I'm usually a HUGE fan of her books.

I finished listening to Anne of Green Gables (I LOVE this book!) and reading Look Both Ways by Jason Reynolds.

Today I started a Donna Leon mystery from my new stash (A Sea of Troubles) and also started listening to The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny. I read the Louise Penny book ages ago, but her books are definitely worth revisiting, so I'm listening to them this time around.

I just finished The Mother-in-Law: A Novel by Sally Hepworth. I thought it was a bit slow at first but ended up liking it the more it went on. I did this one on audiobook.

If anyone is looking for free audiobooks, Sync offers two free audiobooks for thirteen weeks. They are aimed at YA, but it's open to everyone 13+.

I'm reading "The Whiteness of Bones" by Susanna Moore and love it. I "audibled" and thoroughly enjoyed her "Miss Aluminum" and wanted to try some of her fiction. I preordered Curtis Sittenfled's new book, "Rodham," which comes out Tuesday and plan to preorder Michael Connelly's new one as well.
I ended up Joni-O'ing "The Red Lotus" which started out good. As I get older, I have less patience for books where the female protagonist is invariably an physically attractive, rich, doctor/lawyer!

Just reread Circe by Madeline Miller. Quite like that book.

Now I'm starting the Mitford series. Never read them before, wanted something cozy and comfortable and this was recommended.

Alison - I the Mitford series. I've read them all and feel like I know the characters. I hope you enjoy trying it.

Now, I'm reading The Birdcage by Marcia Willet which is one of her typical books (which I enjoy). And, I'm reading Next of Kin by Sharon Sala, a pretty good mystery/thriller.
