I finished two books: Eleanor and Hick by Susan Quinn and The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enriquez. I also made some good progress on several other books:

I finished The Dangers of Smoking in Bed, which was a very strange collection of short stories. So now I am back to listening to the anti-fascist book.

On page 150 of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed. Still in Colorado.
My most recent 5-star read was The Man Who Died Twice. It's even better than the first book!
