It was a long book and I kept getting interrupted

So then I ran across the prequel to the "The Forgotten Coast" series that I have been working through. It was a short byt satisfying read I learned a few things about a couple of the characters that are not in the later books.

the Liberal Ladies Bookclub is reading Humans: A Brief History of How We Fucked It All Up by Tom Phillips as our March choice. I think this is the book Katy Porter was reading during a house session back before Christmas.
Before I dive into that I need to read something light so that will be this week's goal.
