I am in a bit of a book hole myself, unable to choose between these four books. I may need to bring them all and see what's calling to me once the music starts.

I’ll be reading James McBride, the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. I began with Matrix by Lauren Geoff, only to realize I had already read it!😂. Although it is worthy of a re-read.

I keep meaning to read James McBride. Googling that title, I see New York Times calling it "a murder mystery locked inside a Great American Novel." Wow, sounds awesome.

I can't wait! I've been splitting wood until dark the last couple nights (very satisfying, and also very tiring), and I'm planning to let myself off early tonight so I can get cleaned up and settled in with a nice cup of tea to read. I'm so excited.

I'll probably be starting Desire Lines by Cary Alan Johnson tonight. My interlibrary loan just came in, and I need to read it for a book club on Sunday.

Splitting wood for a fireplace? I'm so jealous!

The original Frankenstein.

I still can't believe she was a teenager when she wrote it.

Two of those are on the top of my stack: Frankenstein (which I'm trying not to fall behind on, because that's what I always do with big books) and A Room of One's Own. But also, I need to make dinner tonight, so probably also reading a NY Times recipe! Oh, AND a Seattle history book I just checked out from the library called Biking Uphill in the Rain. I think I need to have a silent reading party, like, every day.

God, wouldn't that be dreamy? A daily reading party to get us from daytime to nighttime... sounds like bliss!

Three choices for tonight are: “Switchboard Soldiers “, Jennifer Chiaverini, “Hope”, Andrew Ridker, “Temple Folk”, Aaliyah Bilal. I’m leaning towards “Hope”.

I'm glad someone else here is torn between several titles! These are all new to me, thanks for mentioning them. "Hope" sounds fascinating and funny...
