I am officially unemployed as of last week.  You know what is wild about that? I actually had to sit down and make a to-do list because I had so many things I need to get done. I didn’t have a to-do list when I was working. I keep saying I’m going to lie in my hammock and read books, but aside from the last 2 chapters of Allegedly that hasn’t happened yet. Mostly I’ve been ordering books from the library for all this reading time instead of actually reading.
I did change my library pickup location to a library closer to my house instead of the one on the way to my job. That felt more final than packing up my stuff.
New In This Week
Finished This Week
What Am I Reading?
 How to Survive a Plague is a huge book. I’m making my way slowly through it. It is fascinating. I love reading about the early years of the AIDS epidemic. I’ve read a lot on the subject but this is not just repeating what I’ve already heard.
The Turner Series is to balance it out. American War is very good so far but a sad read. I decided to read it now for #RamadanReadathon.
What Am I Listening To?
I was really excited about Gilded Cage, but still haven’t checked it out.
I am so excited for American War! I am currently reading Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh, but it’s been a tough week so I haven’t actually gotten much of it done. It is really good, though.
Black Moon has a gorgeous cover. I’m adding Zodiac to my wishlist. The whole series sounds good. Armchair Book Expo, getting ready to move, drama club, and a volunteers’ tea. Come see what I’m reading this week.
I loved American War and will be interested to hear what you think.
