Book #8 is “blackbird” by James Keene. True story about an inmate trying to get a serial killer to admit to more crimes. Really wanted to like this one but it fell pretty flat for me

Book #5 is “The Bee Sting” by Paul Murray. It’s an epic multi generational tragic comedy about the downfall of an Irish family and all the sliding doors that led up to it. Really interesting story told through multiple character’s viewpoints

Book #4 is “Who gets in and Why” about the college admissions process. In four years I’ll have three kids in college so this was a doozy. I need to read something fun next but overall super interesting

Book #2 on the year is Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. Super unique writing style - my first time reading anything by him - that I enjoyed quite a bit. Powerful story about love and loss. I’ll read more by him for sure

Book #40 (hit my goal too!) on the year is “Leonardo Da Vinci” by Walter Isaacson. Loved every page - such a fascinating and talented man who was literally hundreds of years ahead of his time in several ways. Solid 8.8 out of 10 for me #booksky📚
