What was I reading?

 


What I was reading...

On my birthday, two weeks ago (Feb. 19th)---

Moloka'i by Alan Brennert

This is quite possibly the best book club selection we've ever discussed. Check out my review (hyperlinked) to see why I think this.
 

A year ago (2020) ---


The Year of the Monkey by Patti Smith

My, oh my, what a weird book. But as I look back on my review I think it has a lot of literary merit. (Click on hyperlinked title to read that review.)

Three years ago (2017)---


Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders

This is an incredible, INCREDIBLE audiobook using over 160 unique voices. I highly recommend it in the audio format. Others who read the print version weren't so sure.

Six years ago (2015)---


The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

I enjoy looking back on my old reviews. I remember being very fond of this book, but my review reminds me why and now I can say it again:  if you haven't read this book year, what are waiting for?

What about you? What were you reading last year and a few years ago?
