Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

Other words for smoke.

A hard copy book not audible. Hoping my eyes will stand up to it especially as the right one had an infection. The first chapter was enticing but i’m Wondering what to do about silence. I find music while I read difficult. But silence ranks up my hyper vigilance. Maybe just time to start pushing boundaries a bit more?

I’m listening to the Starless Sea. I have been, like many night circus fans, waiting for it anxiously, and I will buy the hard copy too. But I am listening to some chapters over and over. I might spend a whole week listening to this one multiple times. I have put off getting to the end yet ?

Although I have a bunch of cookbooks I checked out, The Whole Brain, by Raphael Kellman and The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron are two that I'm "really" reading. I've read/worked with Ms. Cameron's book and others she has written before. It is a wonderful companion in recovery.

I have about 6 going right now. The last I picked up was The Talisman. King and Straub. I read it when it first came out - really good book.

I just finished a book called The Mermaid. I did not expect much and was delighted that it was charming, if not cheerful. Mermaids never have it easy though!

Just finished The Choice by Edith Eger. Completely loved it. Didn't love the final section about her career as a therapist as much as the rest but a stinking good book all the same.

Also still reading the happiness Trap by Russ harris.

I have almost finished ‘where the forest nets the stars’. It’s bittersweet. A little schmaltzy for me but still very pleased to have read it. Exceptional fictional dealing with trauma in different ways so far.

The shape of lies, by Rachel Abbott. I have it as an audiobook and was listening to it this afternoon while I zested, then juiced 12 lemons. A further 12 to do tomorrow.

I started How To Save Your Own Life, by Michael Gates Gill. Hmmm, interesting thus far.

 

[Mee]

A memoir called ‘educated’. Some cPTSD triggers for some I imagine.

I am thinking I might make every second book a biography/ autobiography. In a weird way I feel this might be slightly less escapist.
