Current Reading List
Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
I'm almost finished with it. The first 80% of it or so went so fast, I thought I had somehow finally cracked whatever shell was keeping me from being able to read like I used to before grad school. Then work got busy and exhausting and I haven't read a single page in a week or two. So sad. Hoping I can finish it this week.
Biketopia and Bikes in Space, both edited by Elly Blue
Great short story collections. Bikes! Feminism! Fiction! They're fun, and really good for when I have just short little bits of reading time.
River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey
I don't actually have this yet, but I will be reading it for the SFF book club on Mastodon. I thought my library had the ebook, but apparently it was actually the audiobook. I have so much trouble making time to listen to those. It takes a lot for me to focus on auditory input, reading is much easier. So I'll get the physical copy from the library instead on my next day off. Woo.
Dragonsdawn by Anne McCaffrey
Again over on Mastodon, I started a hashtag for people to share their book recommendations for a Summer Reading List. And so added a few things I hope to read soon. This is the first.
Religion for Atheists: A Non-Believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion by Alain de Botton
I actually have other not-quite-finished non-fiction books I started reading months ago that I probably should finish before diving into another one, but I already downloaded this one from my library so I'm reading it. OH WELL. I'll get back to the others later.
It's possible I read too many things at one time and need to learn to focus. Well, baby steps. This is actually only about half of the things I have in my "currently reading" queue. They're the ones I think I'm likely to actually finish this month. The rest might be there awhile.
