Started reading The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd The Cartographers which has quickly gotten my interest piqued.

Uh oh! That could be dangerous. On my long weekend I finished The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd The Cartographers (IMHO, it didn't end up as good as it started), From the Holocaust to Hogan's Heroes The Autobiography of Robert Clary by Robert Clary From the Holocaust to Hogan's Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary, Nightcrawling by Leila Mottley Nightcrawling and Maud Martha by Gwendolyn Brooks Maud Martha.
I'm now reading Hollywood Ending Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence by Ken Auletta Hollywood Ending : Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence and listening to Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt Remarkably Bright Creatures - I've already read this one, but when I realized Michael Urie was one of the narrators...I had to listen.

After Hollywood Ending Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence by Ken Auletta Hollywood Ending : Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence (which I just gobbled up), I moved on to The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill The Pushcart War, and my listening of Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt Remarkably Bright Creatures was cut short when it disappeared from my iPad.
Now, I'm reading Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger Ordinary Grace and listening to The Displacements by Bruce Holsinger The Displacements

Finished Mercury Pictures Presents by Anthony Marra Mercury Pictures Presents then moved on to A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro A Pale View of Hills which is for a book discussion which I thought was today, but it turned out is next Saturday. (And, I'm prime for a discussion - I don't know how to rate it.)

Finished listening to Why We Did It A Travelogue from the Republican Road to Hell by Tim Miller Why We Did It: A Travelogue from the Republican Road to Hell

Started listening to This Town Two Parties and a Funeral — plus plenty of valet parking! — in America’s Gilded Capital by Mark Leibovich This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral — plus plenty of valet parking! — in America’s Gilded Capital (I so enjoyed the snark in his most recent book, I thought I'd get this one off my TBR.
