Just finished Sandwich *and* All Fours; Sandwich made me laugh out loud more than once. Right now almost through North Woods by CantRemember, which is good & a bit strange & interesting; next in the queue is Night Watch, Jayne Anne Phillips, whose work (tbh) doesn't always click with me. And then b/c I'm in Italy, I'm reading Shirley Hazzard's strange meditation/memoir about living in Capri with her husband & the friendship she developed with the novelist Graham Greene. It's interesting more than compelling -- but her sentences! have I raved here about Transit of Venus? Astonishing.

Thank you! Great recs! I've just started Sandwich and I keep reading lines out loud to Brian. Love it so far. I bet that Hazzard memoir IS perfect for travel!

really looking forward to your take on Presumed Innocent. No one I know is watching it and I need to get someone else's perspective! I just finished Look in the Mirror by Catherine Steadman

Hooray! I want to hear what you think about it, also. A few more episodes to go!

James, by Percival Everett. As good as advertised. Maybe better.

Ooh, I can't wait to read Sandwich! It sounds great. My current suspense read is Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter, and waiting on the sidelines are Knife River by Justine Champine and The Fortune Seller by Rachel Kapelke-Dale. And those are just library holds; my shelves are stacked with a bunch of great ones I'm dying to read. I need more hours in the day!
