EPBOT Readers discussion

Hello everyone,

I'm getting this out because I leave tomorrow for a vacation. We'll be on a schooner (30 passengers, 8 crew) for a week (without a laptop) sailing around coastal Maine. This is our 8th time on this ship. But next check in will be a two-week one unless someone else wants to create it.

I only have one finish this week and it was a short story, Natural Selection: A Short Story. This was okay to me. It was a freebie from the per-month free kindle book from Amazon Prime. I like Elin Hilderbrand's style well enough.

I am deep into Malibu Rising. I am listening to it and have 2.5 out of 11 hours left so lots of things are happening right now. This book has been a bit of a roller coaster for me. I am enjoying it. It started a bit slow for me, but now so much is happening, so fast. But it is all believable for the most part. I'm not quite sure where this journey is going to end but it feels like a train wreck that you cannot look away from.

I have my kindle loaded and ready to read on the ship during relaxing sailing days. I have my earbuds charged in case I want to listen instead of visually reading.

QOTW:
What is a book that you often find yourself thinking about?

I oscillate between recency bias, thinking about books I've recently read and various non-fiction books I've read that relate to the real world.

But there are times when I'm outside, on a hike, or in the woods and I think about The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate: Discoveries from a Secret World. Or sometimes I'll think about some of the Mary Roach biology related books I've read if something related happens in life.
