I wanted something light-hearted after my latest reads, so I'm going with How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Common Real-World Problems by Randall Munroe.

I decided to re-visit authors whose works I've enjoyed but not thoroughly explored, so I grabbed Peter Heller's The River yesterday, knowing absolutely nothing about it.

Only 20 pages in but enjoying it.

Having to NEVER seen Game of Throwns, my grandson requested that I read his books.
I'm addicted now and withing a coarse of about 3 weeks, I am now 3/4 of the way into A Feast of Crows.
After this, I may re-read The Gap series.
Stay-At-Home order, no problem. 😀

Your Theology Kung Fu is strong. Respect :Hail: I am reading Prayer, Does It Make Any Difference? by Philip Yancey; I guess you'd call that PopTheo. Recommended (as is anything by him that I've read so far).

The Weight of Ink, by Rachel Kadish. Possibly the best book I will read this year. Historical fiction with a Jewish flavor. Beautiful.

When We Believed in Mermaids, a nice escapist "beach read" type of book. Makes me seriously want to move to Auckland.

Winter World, by A.G. Riddle. I'm about halfway in. Very engrossing sci-fi; more escapism... one of those reads-like-a-movie books. And, the characters are interesting, which is important to me.
