It's Monday, What Are you Reading?

I've been traveling a lot for writing conferences lately, including the AWP Writers Conference a week and a half ago, and later this week, the Festival of Faith and Writing. I've managed to finish a few books in the last few weeks despite the busyness. Reading is always my best way to unwind, so sometimes I even read more when I'm busier and more stressed! Over the last 2 weeks I've finished the following books:

• The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Jean-Dominique Buaby
• The Astronauts Wives Club, Lily Koppel (audiobook)
• Raising Ryland: Our Story of Parenting a Transgender Child with No Strings Attached, Hillary Whittington
• A Spool of Blue Thread, Anne Tyler

While these were all interesting, none of them stood out to me as especially great. I love Anne Tyler, so I was somewhat disappointed in this recent book that seemed disjointed and not really all that interesting.

This week I'm working on two books: A Man Called Ove, by Frederik Backman and The House of Twenty Thousand Books, by Sasha Ambramsky. So far both of these books are more intriguing than the books I read over the last two weeks, so that's a good sign!
