Follow Friday May 27


This is Follow Friday, hosted by Parajunkee's View

Today's Question is: 

How many books do you read in a week? And in what format do you read them, or listen to them?


It's wildly changeable for me, largely dependent on the rest of my life. The high mark is probably 7-9 books, the low mark zero, like last week. Since my job (freelance theater, mostly Stage Management/Wardrobe) ranges from nonexistent to 80-plus hour weeks, my reading varies similarly. My average is probably 1-5 books per week, depending on thickness/density of prose, mostly read on the subway.

I read variously on my Kindle or hard copies from the library, depending on what I feel like reading. 

Next Week here at the Bookshelf: STAR TREK WEEK!

    2-3 books is my usual pace - I used to be able to do a book a day, but then things like work starting becoming an inconvenience. :)

If the Fates Allow Edited by Annie Harper, 2017 New Release! I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for the purpose of review. Premise: Five stories of love, hope, and forgiveness at the holidays. Do you need some warm and fuzzy holiday cheer? Do you love love? This new collection features five LGBTQ holiday romances that make your heart feel full of sugarplums. I smiled and sighed and giggled. It's seriously sweet, without being too sweet.

The Silence of the Elves Meg Muldoon, 2016 Premise: Holly's been demoted right out of the North Pole through no fault of her own, but she'll need more than hope to get her life back on track. You may recall that I kind of liked another one of Meg Muldoon's holiday-themed cozy mysteries , so when I saw she had a new series that was explicitly about Christmas elves, I had to try it.

The Santa Claus Man (crosspost)

The Santa Claus Man: The Rise and Fall of a Jazz Age Con Man and the Invention of Christmas in New York Alex Palmer, 2015 Premise: In the early 1900s, more children began to write letters to Santa, and the Post Office asked for help. Enter John Duval Gluck Jr. and his creation: The Santa Claus Association. This was an interesting book overall, although the payoff is smaller than I would have preferred. The book paints a complex and intriguing picture of New York in the first few decades of the twentieth century, particularly around Christmas. The specific story of Gluck and his various "charities" is only the largest thread; the book also explores early influences on the image of Santa, how various staples of Christmas (public tree-lightings, parades, etc.) started or became notable in New York City.
