Rick | 606 comments Joan is OK by Weike Wang

Joan Is Okay by Weike Wang

4.5 stars - I really enjoyed this novella about a Chinese-American ICU physician in NYC. Joan is dealing with the recent death of her dad, her wealthy older brother who lives in Connecticut, her mother who arrives in the US just as the pandemic begins, her ICU colleagues, and her condo neighbor, all the while being alone and without a romantic partner.

I felt as if knew Joan personally and she discusses many of the important issues in life - marriage, kids, work, friendship, loyalty, and family with much wisdom.

Thank you NetGalley for sending me an advance copy of the book in return for this review.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2574 comments I can now post my review of W. E. B. Griffin Rogue Asset W. E. B. Griffin Rogue Asset (Presidential Agent, #9) by W.E.B. Griffin by Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson. Andrews and Wilson were asked to carry on W.E.B. Griffin's Presidential Agent series. Overall, this book was an action-filled, heart-pounding thriller that is entertaining, fast-paced, and thought-provoking. The high stakes made it a page turner.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2574 comments I finished How to Love Your Neighbor How to Love Your Neighbor by Sophie Sullivan by Sophie Sullivan. It's a heartwarming, humorous, and appealing contemporary romance set in Harlow Beach, California. However it is more than your typical enemies to friends to lovers story. This novel is about all types of relationships.

Dorie, I can't read the book titles on your posts (except when I reply like this). The covers are too small. Can you link the names or just type them out? I like to check reviews of books that look good when I can see what they are, and you read some great ones! 😊📚

PamG (lynguy1) | 2574 comments I finished The Starless Crown The Starless Crown (Moon Fall, #1) by James Rollins by James Rollins.
This is a change for Rollins although he did write fantasy early in his career. It's an epic fantasy. hat brings excitement, danger, and suspense to an adventurous journey that includes some unusual allies and some common enemies. With this first book in the Moon Fall series, he introduces the four main characters and does a fantastic job of building a world that is unique.

Woman Reading (is away exploring) | 577 comments After a long hiatus, Ilona Andrews have returned to their Kinsnen series with this novella -
Fated Blades (Kinsmen, #3) by Ilona Andrews Fated Blades

I haven't read the preceding installments which were really just short stories. There's plenty of world-building here with a Sci-fi setting instead of their usual UF.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2574 comments I can now post my review of Vital Lies Vital Lies by Daniel Pyne by Daniel Pyne. This spy thriller is the second book in the Sentro spy thriller series. This book has a clever plot with enough twists to keep a reader guessing. A memorable opening scene immediately pulls any reader into the story. One thing that detracted from the flow of the novel was the continual jumping around in time and points of view (POV) during the first half or so of the story. While POVs continued to change later, it flowed better for me.

My 3 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
