Today has been a great day. I woke up feeling so much better, and even was able to do some house painting. Also had a great zoom chat with my amazing friend Mimi, who also works in the PO/PM tech world. When I mentioned to her that I selected the color scheme for my living room from the cover of the 2019 Booker Prize winner, she said, “you just need to make me a list of books!”
So… here is a list of books. Only theme here are books I have read in the last few months that I think are great, or at least pretty good, and don’t require a huge amount of brain power. Given what is going on in the world right now, I have had my mind focused mostly on books that just aren’t too heavy — fiction and non-fiction — and that aren’t too difficult to read. Criteria is basically if I can get into the bad and read easy for at least 30 mins. Extra points if I was able to do that while fighting Rona symptoms.
No reviews or anything, just a quick list — in no particular order (okay, well the first one is that Booker Prize winner that is inspiring my home decor):

CURRENTLY READING AND NEXT ON DECK

And don’t forget to support your local bookstore! My favorite local bookshop. Flyleaf Books, is offer $1 shipping through April 1 (I have the last three on the list above arriving here tomorrow!). Check your local shop, bet they are doing something similar. Oh – switch from Audible to libro.fm as well, get the same audiobooks but the money goes to your local shop and not Amazon.
Leave a comment here or hit me up on twitter if you have read/are reading/want to read any of these and we can get a virtual bookclub going.
