Booksie's Shelves, February 9, 2021

 

February in 2021.  Things are looking up a bit as DH and I are getting our second covid virus shots this Friday.  Football is done for the year and college basketball is revving up for March Madness.  In our area of North Carolina, the days are cold and dreary but we haven't gotten snow yet this year and probably won't this winter.  It's been fourteen months since I've seen my son and grandchildren but hopefully we will get to see them soon after the second shot has time to kick in.  I read fourteen books in January and four so far in February.  Most of what has come in have been ebooks and audibles but here's what's come through the door:

1. Do Not Say We Have Nothing, Madeleine Thien, literary fiction, purchased
2. The Brass Queen, Elizabeth Chatsworth, historical fiction, sent by publisher
3. Astrid Sees All, Natalie Standiford, literary fiction, sent by publisher
4. The Sound Of Wings, Suzanne Simonetti, literary fiction, sent by publisher
