I don't even think I like them that much, but kept getting drawn to them and borrowing them from the library. I think at first the books let me externalize my generalized anxiety (my self-diagnosis!) to give it some definition and distract me from pandemic stress, but then I was getting stressed out by the books themselves! We read Unsheltered for my library book club and had a great discussion about it. I like the look of Savage Feast -- adding it to my TBR now!Laurie Chttp://baystatera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041753785577045651.post-76286974601525790582021-02-22T10:30:18.737-05:002021-02-22T10:30:18.737-05:00I love thrillers but I haven't read any for a ...I love thrillers but I haven't read any for a long time now... Those books you chose look good but I'm particularly interested by the Barbara Kingsolver : I read "Prodigal summer" by her and it left me a lasting memory.

I hope you are able to enjoy the new genres you are attempting to explore while you set aside your much-loved mysteries and thrillers.<br /><br />I see lots of books on your shelves that I'd like to read. Invisible History looks particularly fascinating, and Climb fits right into my Japanese Lit Challenge. I've always wanted to know more about von Humboldt.<br /><br />I hope you have a lovely week.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041753785577045651.post-38425833759431809022021-02-21T08:24:09.974-05:002021-02-21T08:24:09.974-05:00That’s an interesting way to honour Lent!
