The Great Morrison Migration 
I love a book haul, it’s always nice to find so many wins! You have such a wide range of reads!
Great titles here! I love so much The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, I have read it a few times.
84, Charing Cross Road is fabulous too, and don’t forget the sequel after! Both greet.

I have also liked Moby-Dick (in audio), and The Plotters, though my cover was very different: https://wordsandpeace.com/2019/01/21/book-review-the-plotters/
I am really enjoying The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, and I did not know there was a sequel to 84, Charing Cross Road, so I am really excited to add that to my reading list as well. Thanks for sharing your review of The Plotters. I will definitely take a look at that as soon as I’ve finished reading it and before my book club meets to discuss it.
I read Lab Girl last year I think. I did not live it as much as I had hoped, but I did enjoy it 🙂
I struggled with Lab Girl, but really only because it is so much like my job, as I work in a science research lab. Often I use reading to escape my work life, but this reminded me too much of my work life. Also, there is a section where she complains about high indirect costs attached to grant funding for institutional purposes. I get so frustrated with how researchers don’t understand how costly it is to keep a science lab running (power, plumbing, etc.). Plus, those indirect costs trickle down to fund administrators that are also necessary. I was going to rate this book 3.5 stars instead of 4, but I enjoyed the Ireland section at the end and want to support female scientists in any way that I can.
I hope you’re enjoying Moby Dick. I plan to read it this year too and I’m really nervous about how much time it’ll eat up. Happy reading!

Good luck with Moby Dick! I’m on the last 100 pages. My friends and I divided it into 4 parts over 4 months. There is only so much whaling information I can reasonably consume in one month.
I wonder if I should split it up like that too, though I sincerely want to try and get through it without breaks. Exhaustive info on whaling doesn’t exactly sound riveting though lol
How are you getting along with Moby Dick? I enjoyed it, although very little actually happens – it’s a good one to read when you want to relax your mind. Have a great week of reading!
You are not wrong about very little happening in Moby Dick. I am on the last 100 pages and I feel like I now know more about whaling than I ever wanted to know.
I’m planning on reading Moby Dick sometime this year. How are you liking it?
So my friends and I divided Moby Dick into 4 sections to read over 4 months. We discuss every month. This is how I am finally getting through some of the bulkier classics that I have been too intimidated to attempt before. I thought this would be more of an adventure story, but it really isn’t. 90% of this book seems to just be about the ins and outs of whaling. I have less than 100 pages left, so I’m hoping for a more exciting ending, but I’m not holding my breath.
the first picture of the library sale is just breathtaking)))
