Leaving for Cayman Islands tomorrow.
Bringing 'Water for Elephants' as disposable book.

Btw just finished this one. If you like non-fiction related to World War 1, it's definitely worth a read.

I have started rereading the All Souls Trilogy, starting with A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, AMC will be showing the series starting this Sunday. I didn't know the books were adapted to TV, leave it to the British to come up with the best TV series.

I'm in the middle of "My Sister, the Serial Killer" by Oyinkan Braithwaite, about a fragile sisterly bond with a slightly resentful older sister who is burdened looking after the younger one. It includes covering up the death of a boyfriend of the younger sister in the opening pages. Then an attractive doctor of the hospital where the older sister works (she's a nurse) get caught up in the sibling drama.
So far, the setting in Lagos, Nigeria is mostly an afterthought, though traditional family traditions do come into play.

I thought the bond between sisters was strong, actually. As in most families, the serious eldest and the frivolous youngest.

I am on a selection committee for a book competition aimed at young adults. Have been reading lots of that. Last adult book I read was "My sister the serial killer". Just before that was Educated by Tara Westover.

NOS4A2 I'm 19.3% of the way through, according to my e-reader. It's being made into a TV show on AMC to be released this June. I'm interested to see how faithful it will be. It's an f'ed up story about a man who kidnaps children and transports them to an imaginary world he created called Christmasland.... EDIT: Finished. It wasn't a book that made me want to sleep with the lights on. The book did bum me out quite a bit though. I give it 5/5. It was a real page-turner.

Leafing through The Andy Warhol Diaries once again. Reading it is a little like reading air, but it does have its fascinations as a chronicle of a specific time and place (The NY art world/jet set/club culture of the mid-Seventies to mid-Eighties at the height of the 'greed is good' philosophy), and there are moments when the seemingly vapid Warhol can be surprisingly astute, funny, and even sometimes engagingly likeable.

One more story to go. Mainly reading because I'm a Jonathan Maberry fan. There are 2 more "Limbus Inc." anthologies after this one.

An older book, published right after the 1973 Yom Kippur war, Richard Allen's Imperialism and Nationalism in the Fertile Crescent. Allen takes a pretty balanced approached between the Palestinians and the Israelis, but interesting enough he goes out of his way usually to defend the British position throughout (he served in the British Diplomatic Corps in some capacity in the 1920's, I can't remember right off hand). I enjoy reading a lot of political/historical books written between the 1950's and late 1970's, the conclusions are usually quite off, but hindsight is 20/20 afterall...

Clive Cusslerβs latest airport novel Celtic Empire which so far seems suspiciously familiar to his earlier work Trojan Odyssey.
