Navigating Winter

What books are reading? With the snow piling up and the long nights of winter ahead, navigating this season is easiest for me by plunging into a great story. I’m always looking for great titles. My interest runs pretty wide: domestic and international authors of fiction, memoirs from anyone– especially international –and nonfiction subjects from business and creativity, to psychology and sociology. I love learning new things and even picked up one that will teach me how to write in a foreign language.

Some of my faves of the last few months: Nowhere Girls (thank you, Teuta Metra!) The Last Mrs. Parrish, Sorry for Your Trouble, The Woman Who Kept Everything, The December Project, Never Split the Difference, The Harbinger II, and The Bible, the Talmud and the New Testament. On average I read over a hundred books a year.

    The Splendid and the Vile was a favorite last year, about Churchill and WWII. My mom was a voracious reader of that era, having lived through it, and passed that interest on to me. The book is based on documents and diaries of the people in Churchill’s circle and is an engaging read. Also liked Lady Clementine as a follow-up, about Mrs. Churchill. A bit dryer, but an interesting read.
