Currently The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi. I wanted something light and fun. This is a story of a retired female pirate pulled back into the life and getting her old gang back together. Fantasy but takes place on Earth in Middle East area. I'm enjoying it.

Just curious as I've watched a couple of series based on his books. Does this take place in Great Britain?Should finish up this one today, very good book
It's set in 2025 so now is the time. Early in the book it mentions LA burning and how nobody was going to do anything about it. That stood out because of recent events.
Just finishing "Book of (more) Delights" - Ross Gay
-About 75 essayettes of what delights poet Ross Gay. It's a beautiful book, but also a bit grittier than "Book of Delights" as he also talk about things that do not delight him. Very light, quick read. Each essay is like 3 pages. You don't need to read Book of Delights to understand any context in this book as every essay is different.
About 3/4 through "Such a Young Age" - Kiley Reid
-About a black babysitter caught between her new white boyfriend and her new white employer (who also used to date her boyfriend).
About to start "Holly" - Stephen King
-No idea gif.

What Sedaris sounds like when I read his books, and what he sounds like when he actually talks is waaaaaay different.I needed a laugh.
I finished Holly yesterday. The Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney series really grew on me. I initially started with Holly until I realized I was going out of order then I went back and did them in order. Mr Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch, Outsider, If it Bleeds, Holly.
Confessions of a Puppetmaster by Charles Band
Loved his cheesy, low budget horror movies in the 90s. Dude has lived a life.

I would start with Mr Mercedes in the Bill Hodges series. You will get introduced to a lot of characters that will be there into the Holly book. Mr Mercedes is also a three season series on some streamer so that's a bonus if you finish the Bill Hodges trilogy.
I don't ready any books these days.
I need to get back in the habit.
I've been doing online crosswords lately which at least work the mind a little.
