I’m starting the week with The Elements of Marie Curie by Dava Sobel. I really enjoy science writing so this is right up my alley.

I really liked Night Watch and it has been nominated for my book club to read in 2025. It had such an original perspective on the war.

The Bog Wife. It’s unusual but so far the story is holding my attention.

I have started reading as well as listening to “Time of the Child” by Niall Williams. It hearkens of Patrick Taylor’s Country Doctor series. I am not much of a holiday book reader but I can tell this one is a winner for me.

I just started EVERY PRECIOUS AND FRAGILE THING by Barbara Davis.

I know it will be GREAT! I have loved every one of her books.

I DNF’d one book and am only doing a spotlight for another and did a very short review of one more. I can’t believe I even wanted to give them a try. LOL!!

I haven’t thought about Lincoln in the Bardo in a long time - definitely a book that stays with you!

Jolene, do you read that many books at once? That’s quite a list!
