Whatcha Reading? March 2023, Part Two


Recommended Posts

Cup of coffee and yarn for knitting on plaid with books close-upWe’re wrapping up March with our part two of Whatcha Reading!

Sneezy: I’ve recently started Between Harlem and Heaven by JJ Johnson and Alexander Smalls. ( A | BN | K ) The writing is lovely and I can’t wait to read all about the food!!!!

Elyse: I’m just over halfway through The Priory of the Orange Tree ( A | BN | K | G | AB ) and I’m loving it. It’s epic fantasy, very immersive, and so far there hasn’t been a ton of violence like in other books I’ve read (looking at GRRM).

I’m listening to For Her Consideration ( A | BN | K ) but I’m just a little bit in. So far I’m enjoying it

Lara: I’ve just started my first ever audiobook and it’s a revelation. I’ve opted for A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas and I’m loving it.

Bittersweet
A | BN | K | AB
Tara: Audiobooks are the only way I can finish nonfiction! Speaking of which, I’ve started listening to Bittersweet by Susan Cain. I saw her speak about it last year and am glad my library hold came through.

Sarah: I just started Artfully Yours by Johanna Lowell. ( A | BN | K ) So far I’ve met the heroine, Nina, who is a boss-level art forger, and is working as a housemaid, and I’ve met the hero, who is an art critic who can spot forgeries, and who has a terrible relationship with his brother. I have barely gotten past the first chapter but I’m very curious and want to have more reading time now, please.

Claudia: I can’t believe I missed a new book by her! I really liked the Runaway Duchess (The Duke Undone less so but still enjoyed it).

Carrie: I am reading The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama. ( A | BN | K | AB ) I don’t use audiobooks because they make me fall asleep but I wish I had this on audiobook because I think her conversational style would work better for me in that format. That being said I’m enjoying it!

Claudia: I’m in the middle of blah season unfortunately!! I miss good-book tingles.

The Portrait of a Duchess
A | BN | K
Shana: I just started The Portrait of a Duchess by Scarlett Peckham. Has anyone else read it?

Claudia: I have!!

EllenM: I preordered it but I haven’t started it yet!

Shana: I can’t wait to discuss with you Ellen!

Sarah: Shana, what do you think so far?

Shana: I’m devouring it, but I’m not sure I love the characters yet. We’ll see! I’m not sure what I think of the big age difference between them.

Susan: I’ve just started Thousand Autumns by Meng Xi Shi, ( A | BN ) and like twelve pages in the protagonist is channelling “I can make him worse” energy

Shana: I also just finished How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis. ( A | BN | K ) I can’t remember if one of you recommended it, but I loved how it encourages self-compassion and life hacks instead of shaming yourself into organizing your home.

So, whatcha reading? Let us know in the comments!
