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.
