I got the “your books are about to be due” email this morning, so I gathered them up and took myself to our wonderful library. I went to Trader Joe’s for salad things first so I didn’t want to stay too long at the library for fear of warm lettuce. But I grabbed five tempting books off the New Books shelf:

Make Him Look Good, by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez
Born on a Blue Day, by Daniel Tammet
The Medici Giraffe, by Marina Belozerskaya
Anybody Out There? by Marian Keyes
Ancestor Stones, by Aminatta Forna

Make Him Look Good looks like the worst of the bunch, so I started with that one while I ate my fruit and yogurt and granola. I figured it would either be a fluffy, soapy, fun little book, or completely unreadable. So far it’s leaning toward the former. I’m not sure which one I’ll read next. They all look really good so it’ll be hard to choose, but I think Born on a Blue Day might win. I find autism quite fascinating.

Edited to say: Right after I posted, I did start Born on a Blue Day and it’s great!
