Now I'm reading Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, who is an academic sleep researcher. https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/matthew-walker Fascinating. I had no idea that so much was known about what our brains and body do during sleep. One sentence summary: Getting eight hours sleep a night is essential for physical and mental health. |

I finished Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff’s Ok book, if at times a bit unbelievable. She writes WWII historical fiction usually centered around some true event. In some cases her books are great, in others they feel a bit contrived. This one was a bit contrived.
Next up is ‘the Andromeda Evolution’, a sequel to ‘the Andromeda Strain’. After that, I’m going to return to Amor Towles and ‘Rules of Civility’. Last edited by drofgnal; 04-28-2024 at 06:29 AM. |

Next I read: A Girl Called Justice by Elly Griffiths. A fun YA detective mystery. Currently reading: A Cat's Guide to Bonding with Dragons by Chris Behrsin. Looking good so far. |

Finished ‘The Andromeda Evolution’. It was ok, I didn’t really like the story all that much, and it nearly became a candidate for the ‘did not finish’ thread. But I pushed through. It was well written but I just didn’t get into it all that much. I was going to start the Amor Towles book, ‘Rules of Civility’, but instead I’m starting Kristin Hannah’s ‘The Four Winds’. Towles will be next.

The Four Winds was fantastic. I think I liked it better than the Nightingale. I couldn’t put it down. Fortunately, I had a work trip and between sitting in airports and flight time I was able to finish it. I decided to purchase her recent book The Women. Towles will have to wait till after that.

Next up was Sharpe's Command by Bernard Cornwell. A recent novel, backfilling a time period in the peninsular war. Good fun. Then there was A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes. Brilliant. The Trojan War and the Odyssey from the perspective of all the women involved. And now I'm reading The Loving Cup by Winston Graham. The tenth novel in his Cornish Saga about the Poldark family. |
