I loved her books as a child. How are her books for adults?

Just completed #4 (heist) - Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. I was not a fan of this book for the first 30%. The beginning was terrible, the characters seemed irredeemable, and I just couldn't connect with the world. However, slowly, the characters started to flesh out and become more likeable. I started to understand the world better and care about the plot. Nice cliffhanger at the end. Worth reading, but the beginning needed better editing. 3.5 stars

A book about mental health: Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom

So interesting! Lays out the biological basis of several states of mental health, both positive and negative. Also great advice for small things that you can do during the day to “bias” your brain toward more positive experiences. It does NOT claim that mental illness isn’t “real” or that it can be “fixed” through positive thought. But what is DOES explain is how you are physiologically prone to certain ways of thinking, and how to positively influence those patterns.

2017 Goodreads Awards winner for Historical Fiction. It was fine but I'd expect more depth from a historical fiction. This just seemed a little slight for such a serious subject.

✓16. A book about mental health - Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol by Ann Dowsett Johnston (finished 3/8), a look at the effects of drinking on women, including alcoholism and its connection to other mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, my review is here

[Megan]

Just completed #31 (book mentioned in another book) - A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. Read this for the umpteenth time, but the first time as an adult. I remember the book being longer. Maybe there were just some big concepts in the book for me when I was a kid. I forgot how spiritual the book was - not religious but definitely spiritual. But the lovely writing was the same, as were the really smart characters. Definitely worth reading and can't wait to see the movie! 5 stars
