The Mothers, by Brit Bennett

I recommend breakfast of champions by Kurt Vonnegut to anyone who has not read it.
Out of the books listed here, I have only read two of them. The Handmaid's Tale, which earned 5 stars from me, and Fangirl, which earned 1 star from me. Very opposite ends of the spectrum there. Just goes to show that one persons trash is another persons treasure.Slacking on my reading so far this year but hope to pick back up again soon. Yet to have a 5 star read this year but had a 4 star read with I, Robot.
I just finished the second book in the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson, The Well of Ascension. So great!
Room I'm reading it now and it's just amazing, really uncomfortable subject that handled another way would just be unreadable.

Hunh. I just followed the links to find the origin of the list at the top of this page, and the selection seems awfully haphazard. To say the least.Am I misunderstanding, or is this list based on facebook likes of fb comments from the past weekend?
The Absolutist by John Boyne and A Man called Ove by Fredrik Backman. Both great reads.
Song of Solomon, Toni MorrisonNews of the World, Paulette Jiles
Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End, Atul Gawande
A Gentleman in Moscow, News of the World, Hag-Seed, Redemption Road
Five Billion Years Of Solitude by Lee Billings. Outstanding book about the search for off-world life .

I think it's based on FB comments for the year, they do the "what are you reading?" every Friday and they must've compiled it.

I like looking for alaska or the one memory of flora banks
"Heartless" by Marissa Meyer and "Fragments" by Dan Wells have been two awesome books that I've read! I'm also really enjoying "Before I Fall" by Lauren Oliver, which I'm currently reading.
