Read onlyWell February just flew by! Maybe it has something to do with being the shortest month of the year... 🤔 Speaking of being two months down, how is everyone's reading journey?
Let's hold each other accountable on our reading journey this year and also add more books to the ever growing reading list! 😅 (Even if you don’t sell books you can still join the conversation too!)
Book 5 of Stormlight Archives! It's called "Wind and Truth" - just started last week.
📕 "The Wealth Money Can't Buy" & 📕 "The Monk who Sold His Ferrari"
I like books that are part of a series with a bad a** as the lead character. The John Milton series and the Atlas Hargrove series and the Lance Spector series are the bet I have found. Fair warning Lance and Atlas series can be more heavy, blood and guts heavy, and not for those with a softer stomach as they can get brutal. Reading book 2 of Gideon Ryker right now its fine, easy reading. If you want very easy reading and a very likeable hero the Caribbean series with Jesse Mcdermitt is a very nice light series. A little on the John Milton series mentioned above. Great writing and the pros to this series is that there are lots of spin off books and series on other characters through out the series.
Can't wait to hear from more folks on this topic! Excited for all your recommendations! 🙌

About to start Remarkably Bright Creatures!
I've committed to a non-fiction audio book for one way of my commute to and from work!
Lately, I'm reading/read several titles about George V and Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth II's grandfather/grandmother and Charles III's great-grandparents. Mary(who died in 1953 when Charles was 5) seemed to think Charles resembled George-but difficult to tell since George was heavily bearded.
KING GEORGE THE FIFTH, HIS LIFE AND REIGN by Harold Nicholson( married to Vita Sackville-West, friend/lover of Virginia Woolf.)
Queen Mary by James Pope-Hennessy plus his The Quest for Queen Mary edited by Hugo Vickers (so frank about the Queen's often chilly public character, these interviews recorded by Pope-Hennessy in the 1950's, couldn't be published until 50 years after her death!)
Thatched with Gold The Memoirs of Mabell Countess of Airlie(Queen Mary's Lady-in-Waiting for over 50 years. Knew the King/Queen as children.)
Many Americans not interested in the English monarchy might assume these titles boring but they're written by some of the best British non-fiction writers of their generation(s) If traveling to London soon, read a couple!!
