A #book can sit you your #TBR shelf for less than a year or more than a decade (I have both cases). This book was sitting there and I wasn't planning on picking it up this soon, but I've heard it is going to be adapted to #cinema, so I decided to read it now, before it happens.

Do you love #Aphrodite? She is the patroness of my writing and there are more than just a few stories I wrote about her spreading and enjoying love and lust...

It's officially #baseball season, so I thought it was as good a time as ever to read Two In The Field by Darryl Brock. It's the follow-up to his time travel/baseball novel If I Never Get Back. I read the first book in my adolescence, and then enjoyed it again about a year ago, which is also when I discovered the sequel.

Admit it: "time travel" and "baseball" is not a plot combo you've seen before! Somehow, Brock makes it work.

I have 100 pages left of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. The plot is weaving, ducking & diving, and it's all very exciting. Vengeance shall be thine, Edmond Dantes!

What's everyone else reading this weekend?

This week I'm reading 'The Happy Couple' by Naoise Dolan.

This is for our monthly staff book discussion and we decided to read something by a contemporary Irish author and that was somewhat lighter than our recent books.

It's a fun read. Wow, the lives of the characters in this book are messed up. No one seems to really care about anything or appears not to care and I think everything is just going to explode before the end.

I started The Changeling by Victor LaValle.I know it's classified as "horror," and I have a sense of impending doom, but nothing is really all that scary... yet. I know something bad is going to happen at some point, and I feel like I'm not going to be ready for it no matter how much I mentally prepare.

I went in blind; added the book to my TBR in 2019, have not read the description, and have no idea how the story is supposed to play out. #FridayReads #Bookstodon #Books #Amreading @bookstodon

Whether last year’s congressional UFO hearings were a political stunt or genuine inquiry, our fearless editor in chief Jules Octavian sure found them attractive. This week hear Jules’ thoughts on why aliens might be giving us a wide berth and why they should stop by County Fence HQ to smell the forest.
