Library Loot: March 04 2021

I’ve been busy at the library lately so thought I’d update my stash of interesting titles:

• The Colorado Kid – Stephen King (F) – was looking for another read by King since I loved his Misery title… (This edition actually has what I consider to be the WORST cover art in the world. I’ll get you a pic…)
• The Water Museum – Luis Alberto Urrea (F/short stories). Love Urrea’s other work…
• Hitting a Straight Lick with a Stick – Zora Neale Hurston (F/short stories). Other Hurston reviews here: Barracoon (NF), Their Eyes were Watching God (1937)…
• Mrs. Malory Wonders – Hazel Holt. (F/mystery). Just was looking for a cozy murder book and this title came up…
• Bookmarks: Reading in Black and White: A Memoir – Karla F. C. Holloway (NF). I ILL’d this title but it looks rather different inside than I was expecting. We’ll see how it goes.
• Around the World in 80 Days with Micheal Palin – Michael Palin. (Loved his travel book on the Himalaya mountains and wanted to read some more good travel writing.)

And more titles… (Told you I might have got carried away… 😉 )

• The Sittaford Mystery – Agatha Christie (F/mystery). Already finished this – good fun.
• My Cousin Rachel – Daphne du Maurier (F/thriller/mystery). Was looking for a Gothic thriller type of read… (Just realized that I’ve already read this. Sigh. No worries. Moving on…)
• Ice: The Antarctic Diary of Charles E. Passel – Charles E. Passel (NF/travel/adventure).
• The Round House – Louise Erdrich (F/Native American).
• Queenie – Candice Carty-Williams (F).
• A Traveller’s Life – Eric Newby (NF/travel).
• DK Eyewitness Books: Astronomy. (NF). Just looked interesting.

Which one to read first?…. I know I’m going to read the astronomy Eyewitness book this weekend for starters and make a start on “The Commitments” by Roddy Doyle for Cathy’s Reading Ireland 2020 project.
