reading wednesday

• What are you reading?

Wild Things: the joy of reading children's literature as an adult, by Bruce Handy. I like the books he's talking about but I'm not sure I like his take on them.

• What did you recently finish reading?

Zero Sum Game, by S.L. Huang. If you would like to read a thriller without being punched in the face by sexism, this book is for you. There is an early moment when the protagonist does something stupid and I thought, you expect me to believe that she can do her job when you show me that she is that bad at her job? But no! The writer did not expect me to believe that at all!

• What do you think you’ll read next?

Where the crawdads sing, by Delia Owens, for Tawanda book group.

• What are you watching?

Avengers: Infinity War. How many fight scenes is too many fight scenes? What the heck is this movie saying about when you should kill the one you love?

The Night Of. That Riz Ahmed is going to be a big star.

I looked for the Maggie Shen King book online because it sounds like my sort of thing but could not find that author/title combo. Where did you find it?
