I'm having to read a lot of prescriptive non-fiction right now (not really by choice, long story), and I try to mix it up with fiction but I'm stuck in a rut of mediocre fiction. The best thing I've read recently was Starling House, which I loved.
I just read this post this morning and it reminded me of a dream I recently had where I was told checking books out from the library via Libby to my Kindle (my MO) was bad b/c Amazon... sustainable, yes, but Amazon. FWIW, when I do buy a physical book I try to buy from indie bookstores! :)
So nice to see you in my inbox again!! My best read of the year so far is The Librarianist by Patrick DeWitt. If you liked A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Bachman, you might like The Librarianist.

Yay YWR is back and witty as ever. I am intrigued by A Most Agreeable Murder - time to go to my local indie bookstore.
I loved The Mystery Guest, even more than The Maid! Fun quick reading, a great in-between book when the TBR list is full of “serious” reads.
