Libroqueue 2022.07…

It was a weird reading month. Started slow, picked up in the middle, and slowed down again at the end.

Here’s what I planned to read in June:

  • Val Kilmer’s I’m Your Huckleberry: A Memoir
  • Brene Brown’s Dare to Lead
  • Gary Paulsen’s Northwind
  • Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing
  • Ted Fox’s Showtime at the Apollo
  • Scott Snyder’s A.D. After Death

Here’s what I actually read…

  • Val Kilmer’s I’m Your Huckleberry
  • Gary Paulsen’s Northwind
  • Mark Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
  • Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff’s Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry
  • Scott Snyder’s A.D. After Death

At the last second, we changed our book club book from Dare to Subtle. I tried twice to start Crawdads and was bored to tears both times and replaced it with Signal. I got about halfway through Apollo and am liking it, but didn’t want to carry that weighty tome in my carry-on luggage and decided not to finish it until after vacation.

For July, I will read/finish:

Glennon Doyle’s Untamed for the book club

61471921-E1CD-44AE-BF91-2EB500DA5F40

Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon, book 1 (I fully expect this one to take me a while, maybe two months)

BF37FD4D-7E13-4343-B78B-0ADE1AB75111

Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility

367CB33F-D206-4DA6-9942-31FDBDC0E5C5

Ted Fox’s Showtime at the Apollo: The Epic Tale of Harlem’s Legendary Theater

0D438040-3B60-457B-B766-FCEA08C7A1DE

I think I’ll just stick with four for this month. I really want to see how I do with Altered Carbon with as little pressure from other books as possible (Untamed and Sea are audiobooks). I may add another graphic novel if I find something interesting but I’m on a bit of a slowdown there lately and want to get back into it more naturally.

It’s like July 3 now, isn’t it? But hey, I’m on vacation. It’s a miracle I’m posting at all! 1. Music Play: This first album is the debut release from my friend and former coworker Tyler Pautsch and his band....
