I picked up 5 random books at the library, and today we're finding out if I can predict which will be my most favorite, which will be my least favorite, and which ones will end up somewhere in between!
The 5 books are: Piranesi, The Essex Serpent, The Devil and the Dark Water, and two classic mysteries by the queen of mystery, Agatha Christie. Which of these will I love? Which will I hate? How well do I know my own reading taste? Or will I accidentally reveal that I have no idea what I'm doing??
Let's find out!

This week, we're continuing our Reading Around the World mini-series with our Cuba pick, Next Year in Havana!
Featuring complex political commentary, morally gray characters, and a (disastrously executed) romance, this sweeping historical epic gives us lots to discuss.
Note: I state that this is the author's debut novel, which is not true, but I believe that this is her first historical fiction work, so I must have gotten mixed up. Apologies!

This week, we're launching our reading around the world deep dives with Elena Ferrante's classic, My Brilliant Friend!!
With subtle (and not so subtle) social commentary, a cast of colorful characters, and (of course) the complex friendship that's the heart of the book, My Brilliant Friend certainly gives us plenty to talk about (just look at this episode's runtime).
(Yes, someone keeps bumping the mic... couldn't be me lol.)
