Booksie's Shelves, March 13, 2020


Along with everyone else, our routines are being affected by the covid-19 virus.  We're probably less affected than others as being retired, it's easier to self-quarantine which we are doing.  For me, it means giving up going to the gym, book club meetings and lunch with friends but since I'm in a group higher in risk, it's what is needed.  My son got tickets to the first round of March Madness for me and him for a Christmas present but that isn't happening.  I went yesterday and stocked up at the grocery so that we don't need to eat out for several weeks.  Of course, staying home equals more reading time.  Here's what has come through the door lately:

1.  Tombstone, Tom Clavin, nonfiction, won in contest
2.  The Sisters Grim, Meena van Praag, fantasy, sent by publisher
3.  The Hidden Things, Jamie Mason, mystery, won in contest
4.  Hello, Summer, Mary Kay Andrews, women's lit, sent by publisher
5.  Deep As Death, Katja Ivar, mystery, sent by publisher
6.  The Knockout Queen, Rufi Thorpe, literary fiction, sent by publisher
7.  Grown Ups, Emma Jane Unsworth, literary fiction, won in contest
8.  Crush The King, Jennifer Estep, fantasy, sent by publisher
9.  The Last Day, Andrew Murray, science fiction, sent by publisher
10.  In A Strange Room, Damon Galgut, literary fiction, purchased
11.  Blame The Dead, Ed Ruggero, mystery, sent by publisher
12.  13 Billion To One, Randy Rush, memoir, sent by publisher
13.  A Registry Of My Passage Upon The Earth, Daniel Mason, anthology, won in contest
14.  Victim 2117, Jussi Adler Olsen, mystery, sent by publisher

Here's what I'm reading:

1.  Rattle, Fiona Cummins, Kindle Fire
2.  What You Save From The Fire, Katherine Center, Kindle Fire
3.  Crime Scene, Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman, hardback
4.  Underland, Robert McFarland, audio
5.  The Cold, Cold Ground, Adrian McKinty, audio
6.  Lay Down My Sword And Shield, James Lee Burke, paperback
