This Week’s Bestsellers
For the third consecutive week, there has been just a single addition to the New York Times list of bestsellers. And that works well since, for the third consecutive week, I have not caught up. This week, though, I am determined to do so. The sole addition to the list squeaked on in the fourteenth spot: Making Toast by famed writer Roger Rosenblatt. The Times offers this brief summary: “The writer and his wife help to raise their grandchildren after the sudden death of their 38-year-old daughter.” It’s just a short book, coming in at under 200 pages. It has been widely praised and, coming as it does from the pen of Rosenblatt, ought to be well-written. If I am able to finish that along with Anticancer I will finally have caught up. And then next week the list can do its worst and I’ll be ready!
Coming up this week I’ll have a belated round-up of what I read and reviewed in February. And then I should have reviews of these two new titles. I should also say a word on how I’ve found the 10MillionWords experience to this point. Stay tuned for that.
