I started Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz, but he immediately starts by saying the story of the Reichenbach Falls is wrong. So I figured I should go back to read that first. In the mean time, I’ve started Sharp Objects.
Just finished. It wasn’t what I expected but I liked it.
And then sometimes there are tables, graphs, or other extra matter that may or may not have made it into the audiobook version.

Killers Of The Flower Moon - as my True Crime
I’m reading Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde…
…because I was cleaning up my library and saw it on my shelf. I had been looking for it for a while, because I was tired of the Thursday Next books, and I really liked this one (I also really liked the Nursery Crime books, but I think that “series” is done, though it was short)
Im about halfway through Tiamat’s Wrath (The 8th book in the Expanse series). It’s really good. I have been enjoying the series.
We’re not doing the same type of audio books. 
No audio book I have ever listened to had tables, graphs or other extra matter.
Well, yeah, some of the books are on economics & finance. Some are biographies, which have pictures.
I’m kind of 50/50 on fiction/nonfiction for my audiobooks.
I think there were only a handful of days last year where I failed to read 50 pages in a day. I’ve failed to read 50 pages in the last week. I need to get back to reading.

Finished this. Very informative.
Glad to hear. I got a bit distracted reading What's Going on in There? : How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life: Eliot, Lise: 9780553378252: Amazon.com: Books
which is pretty interesting. Will have to catch back up on 1491.
I added another hold for it. Did not make it past the first chapter before my borrow was returned.
How many books are in your pile?
To be sure, my “Currently reading” list on Goodreads is 90 books long, and really only 6 books on the list am I actively reading
A lot of them are in the “will-continue-reading-when-I-find-them” pile, which are physical books I own…and are somewhere in my house
A huge number are e-books I own that I’m just a small %age through
Of the 6 I’m actively reading, 2 are audiobooks, 2 are e-books, and 2 are physical books (one published in 2021, the other from 1969)
And in my paperback copy of Shades of Grey, I did see Fforde had titles for the next two books in the series in mind.
I’m sure he already worked out the story arc for Jane & Eddie (and maybe Tommo, Violet, Sally, Eddie’s dad, etc.), but he got distracted and worked on other books.
He definitely has a thing about librarians & rabbits.
I need to revise my ‘currently reading’ as I’m not ‘currently reading’ any of them. I keep my TBR in a spreadsheet, which I copied over to Google Sheets:
China: A History by John Keay.
I really like history, particularly ancient history, but I have basically no knowledge of Chinese history, and this tries to start at the very beginning. Enjoying it a lot so far.

I have 6 in my currently reading. Sometimes if a book stays there too long I stick it on my “not finished” shelf.
Currently listening to Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez. I’d probably absorb more if I was reading vs listening, but I don’t want to dedicate the time for that.
I’ve heard of Jesus and John Wayne but my bp gets high enough just reading evangelical Twitter. Still, I’d be interested in your take on the book.
