@Tammy I’m SOOOO surprised to hear it! Never discussed it with anyone who didn’t immediately fall madly in love with the characters and the universe-building!

The Blue Hour by Laura Pritchett. It just won the CO Book Award for Literary fiction. Interlinking short stories that form a novel-which is completely my jam!
Just finished a nonfiction, Reading with Patrick by Michelle Kuo. And started Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt, a children’s book about living with dyslexia.
I just picked up Born a Crime by Trevor Noah and A Higher Loyalty by James Comey from the library. Also still working on Devil’s Call by J. Danielle Dorn.
Came across Orhan’s Inheritance by chance in the library. Excellent! Summary: When Orhan’s brilliant and eccentric grandfather Kemal — a man who built a dynasty out of making kilim rugs — is found dead, submerged in a vat of dye, Orhan inherits the decades-old business. But Kemal’s will raises more questions than it answers. He has left the family estate to a stranger thousands of miles away, an aging woman in an Armenian retirement home in Los Angeles. Her existence and secrecy about her past only deepen the mystery of why Orhan’s grandfather willed his home in Turkey to an unknown woman rather than to his own son or grandson. Left with only Kemal’s ancient sketchbook and intent on righting this injustice, Orhan boards a plane to Los Angeles. There he will not only unearth the story that eighty-seven-year-old Seda so closely guards but discover that Seda’s past now threatens to unravel his future. Her story, if told, has the power to undo the legacy upon which his family has been built.
