The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. This book was selected as the book of the year for Historical Fiction. The book is good! American Dirt is better. JMO! I was confused and lost when older Jude entering the picture. It was like 'wait! Did I miss something?' On I go to the end.

I have 3 books on the go !! Highland Tales by Rory Byrne... The Book of Not Knowing by Peter Ralston &The Einstein Prophecy by Robert Masello !! Time to start reading !!
Just finished The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. What an amazing read. She’s got other books but I don’t see how they could be any better!
Healthy Sound Sleep (Sleep Well Solutions) by Dr. William Douglas https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RCHKDDZ/...
Finally reading THE WINTER CROWN by Elizabeth Chadwick. It has been so long since I read THE SUMMER QUEEN that I have gone back to read a few of the reviews. With my memory refreshed, I am excited to settle in with Alienor!!!
I just finished "In an Instance." A very thought provoking book on how death effects a family. Also, who are we when it really counts and can we really own our choices we've have made in the end? The point of view that the book was written in gives a bird's eye view on the story. The truth of any story is we never know the whole truth because we can't see all parts of it at once and understand the motives. This bird's eye view is about as close as one can get. I highly recommend this book.
Starting Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantal. I'm also working on The Promise Land by Barach. Great book just very wordy. Michelle's book was easier to read though.

1st day of 2021! No better time to pick up Andrew Shaffer's Hope Never Dies (2018), a fictionalized murder mystery featuring Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
The very important book The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold.
Just started reading The Einstein Prophecy by Robert Masello last night.... its still early by I've got to say..... he has my attention and I'm impressed so far. I will be most certainly writing a review when completed.
Yesterday I started reading My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell--very timely theme with Me Too issues.
