Huh, I hadn't heard about that either.

I didn't enjoy the first Sand book as much as the Wool/Silo books, but it was pretty good. I'll need to put a hold on it.

I am reading a new book, Music + Revolution - Greenwich Village in the 1960s by Richard Barone (about folk music scene). I borrowed it from the library in paperback. They don't have it in e-book format yet, and the kindle version is $22.

I heard an interview with the author Richard Barone on Leonard Lopate radio show (WBAI-FM NYC, available as podcast).

Started Across the Sand by Hugh Howey. I'm surprised there is so little buzz about this. Nothing on his website and nothing in wiki. I didn't know this was coming out until it poped up on Overdrive a couple of weeks ago.
Amazon sent me emails on this, since I follow Hugh Howey. Coincidentally, I finally got around to finishing his Silo series (Dust) about two weeks ago. I haven't read Sand yet, but I bought the eBook a while back figuring that I would like it. I guess now that the second book in that series is out, I should make an effort to read the first book that I already have. I read a blurb somewhere that said this is the first book release from Howey in six years. I wonder what happened to him during that time? Obviously I wasn't following him closely. But I did like Wool - by far the best of that series IMHO - and I clicked "follow author" back when I read it.

I know he bought a sailboat and was sailing around the world for a large bit of the missing 6 years. Not really sure beyond that. He was really vocal for a while but not much in the last few years that's for sure.

An excellent SF murder mystery, along with major plot points I should have noticed earlier!

Oh, my. I haven't read that in at least 45 years. I'll be curious to see how well you think it holds up.

On to a Southern gothic title that has been on our DTB shelves since 2017 - Over the Plain Houses by Julia Franks
I finished this up, though I was not incredibly pleased with the back half of the book.

Since then, I have read:

Cullen Bunn's Harrow County Omnibus 1
Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries 1-3
Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (which I am almost certain was a first time read for me - it was never assigned to me in university).

I'm about to do a re-read via audio of one of my wife's all-time favorite novels in Anthony Marra's A Constellation of Vital Phenomenon. We have a signed copy of this one on our shelves. I've not read Marra in a few years so I am reviewing this one before moving on to his new novel. We also got an autographed copy of that one as well.
