is it really possible to read too many books at once?

Ways to Disappear | Idra Novey

Pickpick

Finished this gem ahead of my book club next week. Very quick and engaging read. I find myself drawn to books that detail a life change, and this definitely fit that requirement (like the title story in Paris for One and Other Stories by Jojo Moyes).

Mehso-so

No problems getting through this book, but the main character is beyond comprehension. The part where she throws her phone in the trash wasn't the only place I gasped, "huh? why? what?" Enjoyed the back story between with her sister and liked how relationship outcomes were revealed. The ending had me confused. This book gets a "meh" from me.

Book haul from a tiny sale at the local art museum this weekend. Found a few from my "to read" list!

Awesome so far, can't wait to finish. We were just talking at work today about how office environmental systems are set to the comfort levels of male workers.

This is getting really spooky, guys! Loving The Prisoner of Hell Gate.

I do appreciate the author, Dana I. Wolff, mentioning the newer perspective on Mary Mallon and all she went through. Reminded me of a book from a grad school seminar on history of disease: Typhoid Mary: Captive of the Public's Health by Judith Walzer Leavitt. Crafts her story as a human, not a monster.

I've been known to crochet or knit while reading. Sometimes I just can't pick one.
