Books 10-16 - plus what I've been watching (Entry #8)

 I read fewer books this month, partially because I tore through all 6 season of Downtown Abby in Jan and Feb.  Currently watching Season 2 of The Crown, and trying to decide if I want to get caught up in the Defenders universe, which would requires finishing the first season of Jessica Jones, watching the second season of Daredevil and watching however many seasons there are of Luke Cage, and when I put it like that, I'm thinking naaahhhh

However, I did read some good books: 

10 The Darkest Part of the Forrest by Holly Black – a very well done and quite dark YA urban fantasy/fairytale

11 The Falling Woman by Pat Murphy – archaeology, mystery, reunited mother/daughter – how have I missed this book before?!

12 John James Audubon: The Making of an American by Richard Rhodes – interesting biography of the birdman

13 Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand – a gothic fantasy memoir newreporty thing – very enjoyable

14 The Raven and the Reindeer by T. Kingfisher – a wonderful retelling of the Ice Queen

15 Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann – Holy Crap, please read this book – I already knew the basic outlines, but I was still blown away by the absolute evilosity detailed in this bit of American history – this made me ashamed to be a (half) white person living in Oklahoma – and by the way, our land, that we legally bought from a white dude, once belonged to the Iowa tribe

16. Lockwood and Co: The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud – YA supernatural detective series – enjoyed it, but not enough to continue/invest with the series

Will try to get a February update up later today.  I know you're holding your breath to read about my fast-paced, sexy, and glamourous life ...
