What I’m Reading Right Now
Some of you have requested a list of upcoming book club selections. I don’t have a schedule yet, but here’s a list of some of the books I’m currently considering for future picks. I haven’t finished all of these (some haven’t even been released yet!), so I can’t comment on their quality, and I can’t guarantee that they’ll be chosen for the book club. But here’s a list of what I’m currently reading…
