Finally got Remarkably Bright Creatures - digital copy and I'm really enjoying.

Chaos, by Tom O'Neill--an investigation of the Manson murders. Unfortunately, it's 1000+ pages long and it's due in five days. It looks promising, so I've ordered the audio version.
I finally read Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis and I loved it! A thread search shows that Iris recommended it about 12 years ago, lol, and Jeppy recommended it in more recent years. I have to say that "chess savant" are not key words that would pique my interest, but the book is great despite my complete and total lack of interest in chess.
I love that book, and the television adaptation was sublime! I know, me too about the chess. I have complete and total lack of interest in chess.
One thing I like about it is the author didn’t use the usual orphan trope. The girl’s relationship with her adoptive mother was very interesting, mature, and nurturing in the mother’s own way.
The Orphans of Davenport: Eugenics, the Great Depression, and the War over Children's Intelligence, by Marilyn Brookwood.
Interesting treatment of a dark time in American history.

I just finished Annabel by Kathleen Winter, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's a wonderful novel about an intersex child and the challenges faced by the child, parents, and friends. It's set in Labrador, and I also enjoyed the sense of place in an area I don't know too much about. I see that Tammy recommended this one with 5 stars in 2020, and I would say she was right on target with her rating.
It started a little bit slowly for me, and then I couldn't put it down.
Returning to some of the unread books on my own bookshelves and just started an old one - To Ride Pegasus by Anne McCaffrey.
