An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon
I fell in love with the cover of this one and clicked buy before even reading much about it. This is a sci-fi about prejudice and class systems set on a spaceship.
A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea: One Refugee's Incredible Story of Love, Loss, and Survival by Melissa Fleming
As per usual, I can't resist an interesting-sounding biography, and this one is about a Syrian refugee.

Skin Folk: Stories by Nalo Hopkinson
Whenever I start having trouble with reading full books, I usually start reading short stories again, and this is a very interesting collection of them. If you like modern fantasy stories, these may interest you.
The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
I started reading this one because it's a paperback edition, and my therapist wants me to cut out reading Kindle books around the time of night that I should be sleeping. It's an engaging read, but it does have very sad parts which has prevented me from reading it as quickly as I normally would.
None! Unfortunately, my fibro flare interrupted a productive reading streak.
In My Life:
I bought a nice yoga ball to replace my desk chair, but for some of the week, I've reverted to my previous desk chair. Fibromyalgia doesn't play well with a constantly moving chair when my balance is not the greatest to begin with. I am looking forward to milder temperatures and nicer weather (hopefully) in March.
Happy Reading!
An Unkindness of Ghosts does have an eye-catching cover, and it sounds so good. I look forward to your thoughts on it. I may have to give that one a try myself . Skin Folk also sounds good. I hope you continue to enjoy The Joy Luck Club. Maybe I should consider getting a yoga ball to sit on. I am not sure they would let me use it at work, but I could use it at home. I hope you have a better week this week!
ReplyDeleteI am so looking for warmer weather- bring on spring!! :)
ReplyDeleteAs am I! It looks like the temperatures here are trending upwards, so we may have some proper spring-like weather soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting, Greg!

I had to put down Skin Folk for a while due to some of the content in one of the stories- I am trying to only read "lighter" books, and it was a bit too dark for right now for me. I did enjoy finishing The Joy Luck Club- I love that it had so many different perspectives and stories. Most books can't get away with that!
ReplyDeleteThe yoga ball is nice, and I've also found a lot of low-impact workouts I can try on it for when it's not being used as my chair.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Wendy!

Sorry I missed this post! The cold medicine I was taking in February made blogging a surreal fun house for me. Ha ha. Some people's posts I didn't see at all, and others I read and thought I had commented but didn't. I think I still have some of my own posts where I never went back to reply. I need to go back through and check. 😜
ReplyDeleteSorry you were laid up in bed. February kicked a lot of people's butts this year. Hopefully spring will finally arrive and things will start looking up. (((((HUGS))))).
I have an Unkindness of Ghosts on my tbr for SciFi month. Hoopla has the audiobook..👍✨
I hope to see a new post from you soon. Hopefully March is treating you better. 🌞
I'm glad you survived the cold medicine trials of 2019. ;)
ReplyDeleteFebruary was tough, but I've been outside doing a lot of things in March, luckily.
Yay! I hope you enjoy it! I'm looking forward to reading it soon.
I just published one, actually. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting, La La! Hope the rest of your March is great!
