Good Monday all!
I have a tiny mailbox this week, two nonfiction books.
I’ve been wanting to read Caitlin Doughty’s books for a while, and with the current Audible sale her newest release was quite affordable, so I decided to start with this one. It’s also the winner for the Science & Technology category for this year Goodreads Choice Awards, so I’m hopeful this should be interesting.
The Great Pretender is about a group of sane, healthy people going undercover in an asylum in the 70s, and it sounds absolutely fascinating. I only realized once it got here this is by the same author as Brain on Fire (like it’s not written big enough on the cover!), which I have had on my shelf since… I don’t want to say when! So I’m not sure which I’ll start with, but I’d like to get both of them read soon.

What did you add to your shelves this week?
I got The Great Pretender at SIBA and am looking forward to reading it. I should get the other book for Carl.
Doughty’s book is intriguing!
Two intriguing titles! Happy Reading!
Interesting books….I hope they are good listening for you.
Have a good rest of the week.
