Now I'm reading Expensive People by Joyce Carol Oates - it was a little hard to get into, but I'm enjoying it very much now!

I’m currently “reading” “Becoming” by Michelle Obama. I’m a audible subscriber.
I'm currently reading one little lie by Sam Carrington. I'm hooked. I'm interested in the psychologist's character and the development of the 2 mother characters. So far I'm intrigued and wonder what twists are in store.
I just started God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert & The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes.

My current read.
Laresa, would you believe I enjoy Africa American books too and I am Causian. I used to ask my coworkers about some of the lingo. Boy, did they get a laugh and then shared with their friends. I learned a lot and all good memories. Just wanted to share. Wish I could share with you but I'm in St. Louis. Have a good night.
Just finished "Before I Burn" by Gaute Heivoll.Read my review here:

I do not mind an honest opinion about a book that I may have truly enjoyed and someone did not or thought it wasn't that great. What I absolutely do not like is when someone says, "This book is awful, do not bother to read" or some such wording. Individual readers differ in what we enjoy or not, what we think is excellent writing or those who do not think such. Offer an honest review of a book, why it was not to their liking, but do not voice the opinion about what one should or should not read, or worse yet make a comment about a reader who enjoyed the book as being "stupid" or "ignorant."

I just finished GANSTERLAND BY TODD GOLDBERG AND MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER BY BRAITHWAITE. Both were 5 star, fast paced, well written and should become movies! Cant wait to read more from these authors. I usually like chic literary but mic it up quite often!Happy reading! Susan 😊

One Day in December by Josie Silver. What an amazing feel good read. You'll be rooting for the 2 main characters to make a decision that is clear through out the book. I definitely recommend you pick this book.

I've just started Fear by Bob Woodward - love it!
Taylor Caldwell’s 1952 THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE. OMG ... I’m only 25 pages in & it is already haunting. Too close to today’s America. She was truly prescient.
Just started Becoming by Michelle Obama, a Christmas gift:)
I'm halfway through Calm the F*ck Down by Sarah Knight.
Regina just finished with Verity by Colleen Hoover excellent. Now starting The Boy and his Blue Ribbon by Pepper Winters.
Just started Becoming by Michelle Obama.

I'm 20 pages away from finishing 11/22/63 by Stephen King. I could have finished tonight but I'm gonna make it my first book of 2019 instead.
I'm reading A PLACE FOR US by Fatima Farheen Mirza. Very good so far. This is SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker) book. Hoping it delivers! :)
I started The Girl Who Smiled Beads today. Only 40 pages in, but it is wonderful so far.
