Booksie's Sheves, November 14, 2024

 


It's November in North Carolina and today is a dark, dreary day.  I actually welcome it because most of the fall has been sunny days with temperatures in the upper 70's and 80's.  I'm ready for some cooler weather.  My reading has been taking a hit lately since both the Kansas City Chiefs and the North Carolina Tarheels are in the midst of playing and I have to watch that.  Add in a new walking routine (November is a mile a day, then December will be a mile and a half, etc) and I'm reading a bit less.  But still acquiring books!  I've been buying International Booker nominees and other books recommended by authors I follow.  Here's what's come through the door lately:
