So true! I don’t have a lot of books. There are some I keep, but most get brought to a local used/new bookstore. I tend not to read any that I buy-at least not right away. Some I’ve had for 2-3 years. One I had for 8 years before giving up on ever reading it.

I’m not that far in, but I’m enjoying Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead. It was written by Olga Tokarczuk, translated by Antonia Lloyd-James. Her writing style has something poetic about it. The use of capitalization in some words within sentences brings a different meaning to the text.

Exclusive: Funding for FEMA's disaster survivor hotline lapsed the day after the Texas floods, federal records show. It took DHS Secretary Kristi Noem five days to approve more money.

I started this series years ago as the books were coming out, but gave up around book 8. I restarted the series 12 years ago and am down to the final 2!
