What book are you reading?

[Hovannes]

Waiting for Christ by St John Henry Newman.

[Mick]

Concurrently in progress:
“The Way I Heard It” by Mike Rowe

“True Stories of Pioneer Times” by Louise Zimmer (re-reading for probably the hundredth time)

and starting tomorrow,
“A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens
It’s a tradition in my family to read a bit of it every night for the week leading up to Christmas Eve, and I think my girls are old enough to hear the tale now.

This ...



I started it last night at midnight. Awoke this morning wanting only to finish it. I cannot put it down. Well, obviously, I have put it down - I’m posting here. I had to. Work calls. I posted my grades yesterday, barely before the deadline. I have 35 writing students who have scattered to the four winds, now that the term has ended, to somehow contact and arrange conferences with.

We didn’t have time in this rushed Covid semester to do it during the term.

I want to be for my students what Nick has been for me, and reading this memoir I feel that good obligation of mentoring more keenly than ever.

How much readers of Nick’s other books will be drawn into this one I don’t know. It’s different. Very different. I think it’s his best work.

I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I only get an icon, no book cover. What is the book?

I received this one for Christmas. Really enjoying it so far. I’m becoming a consistent fan of Chris Schwarz when it comes to woodworking.

Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson



I hear from some that this is the most epic of epic fantasy there is. Opinions are rather polarized on Malazan as a whole. I've read all of The Wheel of Time, so I figure I can do this.

I just got this and the bible study guide that goes with it...it was recommended by a member of a bird hunting forum that I sometimes hang out on. I just started the book.

Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul, revised and expanded
By: John Eldredge

Just finished Long Range, the first I've read by CJ Box, and enjoyed it very much.

Now reading a very light/fun culinary murder mystery series by Joann Fluke, on book #5, the Fudge Cupcake Murder. I have tried a few of the recipes in the series, and that's where my Christmas baking recipes came from this year. Fun stuff during the pandemic.

I'm a big fan. I think I'm five titles in trying to read the entire Joe Pickett series.

The Big Sky series on ABC makes pretty good TV, too.

Long Range is the latest one, book #21. I am undecided if I'll get #20 next and work my way backwards through the series, jump back to #1 and go in order, or just read them randomly. I do want to continue with the Joe Pickett series though!

My wife is a big fan and loves the recipes

Cool! Has she read any by Sally Berneathy? I read a couple of hers recently (Death By Chocolate, and Murder, Lies and Chocolate). She's a better writer than Joann Fluke, IMO, and I love her sense of humor. There are only five in her chocolate series, so I will get the other three. The first one was free, and the others are only $4 each on Google Play, or on Amazon Kindle.
