It’s another World Book Day! There can’t be too many days set aside for reading a good book. Or a new book, an old book,, a tattered, dogeared book.

The following are the books I am currently reading, yes, all of them, yes during the same span of time. The Book of Alchemy is my 100-day project and Come, Have Breakfast is for a book club. The Jesuit Relations is research for my own work-in-progress book that I’m writing.
