Read Hamlet. Itās chock-a-block full of stuff youāve heard beforeā¦that came from this play.
Yeah. We filled quite a few community library boxes when we cleaned house.

Iād second hamlet. The main premise is pretty interesting, and that makes the whole thing kind of interesting.
Reading the Haunting Danielle series by Bobbi Holmes. Currently on #4, The Ghost Who Wanted Revenge.
Also a few more from the Christmas River series by Meg Muldoon. Next up is #6, Manic in Christmas River.
Only shopping I did over the weekend was at Barnes & Noble. Got a signed copy of The Boys from Biloxi by John Grisham. I probably wonāt read this one until 2023, but you never know.
Also picked up Holidays in Virgin River by Robyn Carr. It has 2 novellas and some recipes. Iāll probably save this one for my vacation later this month.
I think in 2023 Iām going to try to read some newer books. I do have a backlog of audiobooks Iāve already purchased though, and Iām enjoying these two cozy mystery series, so weāll see.
I read so few New books. I can only remember once buying a new release at a book store (or getting at a library)
We did buy the Harry Potter for my kids as they came out, I read somewhat later, while still fresh. But that was parenting.

I donāt read many unless itās an author Iām very familiar with, often part of a series.
I read Carrie Soto Is Back this year bc Iāve come to love Taylor Jenkins Reid. And Iāve been watching for the latest from Louise Penny bc I love her 3 Pines series. (Looks like A World of Curiosities gets released tomorrow.)
ETA: Just checked Audible and I already pre-ordered the new Louise Penny. Yay me for planning ahead for once.
I hadnāt read ānew booksā, or even ānew to me authorsā for years. And then i decided to start reading novels again. I got a lot of recommendations from friends.

my BiLās mother said she will give me Where The Crawdads Sing. 4 years old? pretty new for me. Definitely new author
Will read a new author if i know the title
Iāve been listening to Anne Bogelās podcast What Should I Read Next and hearing about new titles and new to me authors there.
Just finished reading The Choirboys, a 70ās novel (though the jacket says all the events happened (maybe not all in this order)) about LA Cops who unwind by drinking heavily after their night watch.
I guess for the time it might have been pretty alarming, though itās alarming now for other reasons.
i like Wambaugh, though far from my favorite
Thanks for the heads-up. Iāve got the audiobook on hold now.

The vast majority of my reading selections are due to comments in this thread. If someone comments on a new book, I may get to it fast.
Prozac Nation. It was popular when it came out so wanted to understand its appeal. Not recommending it.

finished Master & Commander, onto Post Captain. Interesting to see what shenanigans Aubrey is up to during the peaceā¦
Re-reading āThe Making of the Atomic Bombā by Richard Rhodes. Highly recommended. Structure and style is similar to Siddhartha Mukherjee.
Iāve been on a bit of a Gaiman kick after reading American Gods. Really enjoyed Neverwhere, Anansi Boys was decent and iām not a huge fan of Good Omens. I also watched season 1 of Sandman which had some great episodes and some less great episodes.
Switching gears a bit, recently started N.K. Jemisinās Broken Earth Trilogy.
