Need to Focus -Book!

Legends and Lattes, Moral Ambition, and The Invention of Murder

I need to read. I’m editing my first novel, which is going well, and I’m having fun. But I need to read!

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree.

I’m currently reading Legends and Lattes, curtesy of the public library. I’ve been hearing about it for a while now and am finally getting to it. I’m really enjoying it, but I can tell that if I don’t give it some serious attention, I’m going to get distracted by another book. Like the two others I borrowed from the library that day.

It’s very cozy, intriguing, mysterious, and relaxing. Plus, there’s coffee!

Moral Ambition by Rutger Bregman.

I’ve read both Utopia for Realists and Humankind: A Hopeful History by Bregman and have been waiting to get his latest Moral Ambition. His books are always so timely. They are realistic, hopeful, and honest. I’m looking forward to it!

The Invention of Murder: How Victorians Revelled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime by Judith Flanders.

Of course I couldn’t leave Barnes and Nobles without getting myself something. I took the older kids out today and had a lot of fun. They found what they wanted, but I really struggled. I still have so much waiting at home for me. But this one caught my eye as we were headed up to pay.

The Victorian era is an absolutely fascinating time in history to me and I love the social sciences especially relating to gender roles and medical care, which often lends itself to criminal studies. Another I’m excited about.

Three big skeins in a bag!

Time for some more editing, then reading and knitting. Bought some yarn today too.
