1. I just finished reading a nonfiction book that was fascinating.

It’s The Color of Water by James McBride. McBride writes of his quirky white Jewish mother who married two black men and birthed 12 children. He is an excellent writer, and I fell in love with his mother through his tales of his childhood and his mother’s determination to put all 12 of her children through college in spite of being poor.

I’m ready to start a fiction book, Portrait of a Marriage, by Maggie O’Farrell. She wrote another excellent fiction, Hamnet, a few years ago.
