What have you been reading?

I have not found it easy to settle down to read over the last year. I did try the latest Baldacci- but could only get through the first couple of chapters. 

I have continued to read young adult novels to the boys. The latest was The Boy Who Dared by Susan Campbell Bartoletti. Historical fiction based on the true story of Helmut Hubener, the youngest person sentenced to death by Nazi Germany in WW11. Lots of deep conversations came out of this book. 

I found an intriguing-looking novel on the Goodreads site. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig was the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction in 2020. 


"Between life and death, there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices... Would you have done anything differently, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?"

Food for thought
