Next Up: Books on my Spring TBR List

What's next on my reading list is mostly based on what becomes available on my e-READS library holds, as well as squeezing in my book club's monthly choice. There are also a couple books I'm working through slowly, a chapter every couple of weeks.

 Currently Reading

Next up (library e-reads):

For Book Clubs:

(I'm  listening to Love, Life, and Elephants)

This is for a discussion group initiated by a college friend of mine with a group of women I don't know (i.e., not either of my regular book clubs). My friend, whose parents grew up in and around Cherokee, NC (including on the reservation), will also be reading a few excerpts from her memoir-in-progress.

Coming soon on my library wait list for e-reads:

The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein (wait time: 2 weeks)*

What My Mother and I Don't Talk About by Michele Filgate (wait time: 2 weeks)*

The Kindest Lie by Nancy Johnson (wait time: 2 weeks)*

 {*YIKES! Three books coming at the same time -- my usual predicament!}

Girl A by Abigail Deen (wait time: 6 weeks)

Four Hundred Souls by Ibram X. Kendi (wait time: 10 weeks)

The Paris Library by Janet S. Charles (wait time: 14 weeks)

Physical Books on my Shelf

I prefer to read on my Kindle because I have terrible eyesight! But I do have dozens of actual books that are waiting to be read. These are at the top of my gigantic stack:

My Dear Hamilton by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie: This is for July book club, but it's over 600 pages, so I should start it in June!

The Wife Upstairs by Frieda McFadden: Borrowed this one from my daughter.

Kindred by Octavia Butler: My younger son read this in his freshman English class last year, and I keep seeing references to it. Definitely looking forward to this one.

Pylon by William Faulkner: My older son, who somehow has ALL my Faulkner books, gave me this one for my birthday. It's one of only a couple of Faulkner's novels that I haven't read.

Twelve books for spring seems like just the right goal... but I find that surprises always come along!
