We're still in lockdown here so only two for me this week - both non-fiction.
ReplyDeleteThe Woman's Hour - The Great Fight to Win the Vote by Elaine Weiss
Icemen - A History of the Arctic and its Explorers by Mick Conefrey and Tim Jordan
We SHOULD be in lockdown but our idiot governor who loves trump (and is himself currently quarantining after exposure to someone with COVID, though he went maskless and hugged a bunch of people at a press conference) never closed our state in March, so I doubt he would be willing to do it now. I am so fucking done with these idiots.

Hope you love them!
DeleteI haven't gotten any but I love the sound of all of them!
ReplyDeleteSo far, so good!
DeleteOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh The Office.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good! Steve Carrell is the only one missing from it, which bums me out because I love him. But it is an oral history which I also love. It is kind of funny how many people on Goodreads are complaining about the 'format'. Apparently 'oral history' is hard for some people to understand.
DeleteThe "only one", yikes. He was the heart of the show!
DeleteAgreed, it was very strange. The Office was not the same when he left and I don't really ever watch the last two seasons. I actually don't usually watch past season five, even though I own the entire series on DVD. He is in the book later (I finished it tonight) but not much. This was also not an oral history in the traditional sense, as some interviews were done prior to the book being a thing, the author writes for Rolling Stone and used some previously unpublished material for the book. Still worth the read though, I loved it.
DeleteThose NetGalley look absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really loved the Bank Street one, I am obsessed with all things NYC. And anything Gilded Age is my kind of book, too.
