Golly, I wish I could get it down to only two! Three is my ideal, four is most realistic, five is marginally acceptable in summer when I'll have two audiobooks going concurrently, one for swimming and one for dry land. Right now I'm at seven.

So as not to be entirely OT, they are:

The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789 by Robert Middlekauff (audio)

Divided Loyalties: How the American Revolution Came to New York by Richard M. Ketchum

Austerity Britain, 1945-51 by David Kynaston

The Ladies' Paradise by Emile Zola

Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis (book club, a reread which I'm almost done)

Leaven of Malice by Robertson Davies (audio, another reread)

Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterley (audio, book club)

I was going to make a big push in June and get my currents down to a reasonable number, but it didn't happen. I hope to clear away the backlog this month.
