I am reading Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers. I wanted to start the year off with something light and funny. I was sitting in a neighborhood Mexican restaurant a couple of days ago having a Margarita and laughing out loud—I mean really laughing out loud. The poor bartender asked if I was okay, I'm sure thinking he had a lone madwoman in the nearly empty restaurant. "Just reading a funny book," I said. He looked relieved.
Trish I'm reading Winter Beneath the Stars by Jo Thomas and I'm hooked. I've read all of her books. I love the way she pulls the reader into the world of her characters so that you feel you're with them experiencing their trials and tribulations.
I finished Fear and found it somewhat disappointing. Now I'm starting Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng.
I recently finished "Becoming" by Michelle Obama, and will finish up "Becoing Light" by Vivianne Nantel and start "Dare to Lead" by Brene Brown. I've enjoyed reviewing what others are reading. Thanks for the suggestions.
Becoming by Michelle Obama. Truly inspirational and relatable for many readers. Seriously good read so far.

I just finished "Dont Think Twice" by Barbara Schoichet.It reminded me of "Wild" story. It's about transformation. I recommend it.
I just finished a Christmas carol by dickens this morning
Currently reading Becoming by Michelle Obama. Loving it so far. Such an inspiring book

The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict

Without You, There is No Us by Suki Kim
Highly recommend The Flight Attendant by Chris BohjalianIt is now available in paperback.
Moloka'i by Alan Brennert has written a follow up due to be published this year. I suggest reading this book first which will enhance your experience into the second novel.
Daughter of Moloka'i.
I am an avid reader - I think I read well over 100 books last year (2018)I am reading a trilogy at the moment about life in Kenya from the 1950's onwards. Very interesting. I have also just read a wonderful non-fiction book "Healing your Life Through Activity" by Shoshanah Shear. It explains the vast theories and models that comprise Occupational Therapy as a profession. Shoshanah Shear is herself an Occupational Therapist and this book covers some of her work over the 27 years of her experience as such, but written in a fascinating way, covering the human life cycle. If you haven't read this book, I can highly recommend it!
Seems like Michelle Obama's book is the one to read, even my aunt says it's awesome. Currently, I'm reading Einstein; His Life and Universe.
The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict for the Barnes and Noble Book Club next month.

I would also be interested in the name of this series, or the titles and author. Thank you.
Currently reading the 4th book of series The Red Ledger: 4 by Meredith Wild. If you haven't read her books, this is a must! It will have your attention from beginning to end with each book, but you have to start with book 1
