Right now I have four books on my nightstand that I’ve started, am half-way through or nearly finished. This is not normal for me. I typically have to read and complete one book before starting another, although sometimes I can do two, but four? \ud83d\ude42 And you’ll notice none of these are my go-to genre – historical romances! Here they are:<\/p>\n

Two of these books I’m reading (or re-reading in the case of Jane Austen Ruined My Life<\/em> – it’s my pick for next month) <\/em>are for the book club I’m in. This month’s book is Profiles in Courage<\/em> by John F. Kennedy. I’d never heard of this one, but I’ve found it to be a really interesting read. It highlights a handful of US Senators through the ages and the critical decisions that required them to exercise courage, even at the cost of their careers and popularity. <\/p>\n

That’s what I love about being in a book club – I get to read things I wouldn’t normally pick up. Take last month for example when we read the fantasy thriller Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children<\/em>. Fantasy isn’t often on my to-read list and thrillers never :), but I really enjoyed the book. <\/p>\n

So in amongst all the historicals, I find it’s nice now and then to try something completely different. Like the four above. Now to finish them!<\/p>\n
