The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan
I read Common Yet Uncommon, by Sudha Murthy. It is a very simple read. It is a collection of stories around several fictional people living their daily lives in North Karnataka. I enjoyed it because I’m from that region and it is relatable.
Finished:
Something Wicked: The Lives, Crimes and Deaths of the Pendle Witches, by Carol Ann Lee
Started:
The Coiled Serpent, by Camilla Grudova
The one on the Pendle witches was very good but a bit hard to follow… so many people involved, and they often share the same name! The one I started is short stories, they are very good so far, quite dark.
The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison
Finished:
Black Hawk Down (Mark Bowden). Audiobook. Great listen that offers an on-the-ground look at the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu.
The Savage Storm (James Holland). Great read that details the 1943 invasion of Italy – a very much forgotten theatre of WW2.
Exposure (Robert Bilott). Great read that details Bilott and his fights against DuPont after he became aware that they had been dumping their waste product into the neighboring river which was affecting the nearby communities.
Shadow of the Gods (John Gwynne). Great read that is definitely a bit of fresh air for fantasy with its Norse-inspired setting and world.
Started:
The Ruin of All Witches (Malcolm Gaskill). Audiobook. About halfway through. Very interesting listen about the Sprinfield Witch Trials which occurred 30 years before Salem.
Midnight In Chernobyl (Adam Higginbotham). Only 100 pages in. Very good read so far.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
