Still working on The Glass Room which is interesting. Next up is Spellbound by Beauty: Alfred Hitchcock and His Leading Ladies.
I kept shuffling books around, but I am reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. It is captivating.

Still just beginning Sarah's Key and The Lake of Dead Languages. Both seem promosing but kind of hoping one will suck me and I can take off with it.
Just finished Mudbound, highly recommend it
I'm currently reading The Ballad of Tom Dooley: A Novel. Up next may be either Hawk of May or Ghost Hero Im really interested in "Hawk of May", because I'm fascinated by the Arthurian legends, but I've been reading a lot of historical stuff lately so something more contemporary might make a nice change.
Started Snow Falling on Cedars yesterday. My friend just gave me Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers. So, those two are on my list this week.
I finally gave up on Caleb's Crossing after really, really trying. Now I am reading The Blindness of the Heart, which is kind of keeping my attention. I am bored and distracted.
I'm reading The Secret History and really enjoying it. I'm halfway through. It's quite suspenseful, with interesting characters.

I am reading To Heaven By Water by Justin Cartwright, Esther: A Story For Girls by Rosa Nouchette Carey and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carré - which is as boring as anything!
So far I have finished Wales Half Welsh by John Williams, Cycling in Wales (Sustrans): 1 and Jack the Ripper by Daniel Farson.And I'm continuing with Bird Songs & Calls of Britain & Northern Europe by Geoff Sample and The Liar by Stephen Fry which I hope to finish this evening. I'm also planning on starting Parrot Pie for Breakfast: An Anthology of Women Pioneers by Jane Robinson (got to be honest its the title that caught my attention on that one!)
