I really enjoyed No Exit by Taylor Adams so I am eager to hear your thoughts on it. Also, have you read the other books by [author: Jane Harper}?

[Laurel County]

What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I have:
Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Believe Me by JP Delaney.

[Debra Diggs]

lol. I am on 2 different wait lists for Daisy Jones & The Six. Looking forward to reading it.

I have:
- Birds, Beasts and Relatives by Gerald Durrell Second book in a series. The first book (My Family and Other Animals) was filled with chuckles and laugh out loud moments. That is rare for me to find in a book.
- A Train in Winter: An Extraordinary Story of Women, Friendship, and Resistance in Occupied France by Caroline Moorehead
- Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

[Cathy]

I'm still reading No Exit by Taylor Adams. What can I say? This book is amazingly good but it is keeping my nerves frazzled. I'm almost avoiding reading it because it makes me feel so stressed...lol. I'm really invested in these characters.....they have to make it! I hope to have it finished shortly though and after this one, I want something nice and calm.

[Cathy]

This is my first Jane Harper book. So far, I'm really liking it and might try something else by her. I can actually read (listen...it's an audio book) it without chewing my nails to bits!

I can't wait to hear what you think about it when you're finished. I loved this book. It was so intense!

[Debra Diggs]

Just looked up the description of No Exit by Taylor Adams. Oh my, oh my!

Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid and The First Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington by Brad Meltzer

I have Sounds Like Titanic by Jessica Chiccehitto Hindman. I checked out Shady Grove by Janice Holt Giles for my mom. This book came highly recommended by a patron. Ms. Giles is a Kentucky author.

[Debra Diggs]

My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

Thanks Cathy. I hope so too. I was on the fence about reading it. Plan on starting next week.

One of my other Goodreads groups is reading this book next month. I am still deciding whether to join or not.

[Debra Diggs]

Hey Krystyna, would you consider Little Fires Everywhere to be a young adult book? I am thinking about reading it, but one of the comments said it was too young adult.

[Laurel County]

Debra wrote: "Hey Krystyna, would you consider Little Fires Everywhere to be a young adult book? I am thinking about reading it, but one of the comments said it was too young adult."

No, I don't consider it to be young adult. It's an adult contemporary fiction book. It's about these two families that live in a suburb and they have teenage children. The writing is beautiful and it is such a great story. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

[Debra Diggs]

Thanks for the info.

[Laurel County]

Debra wrote: "Thanks for the info."

You're welcome.

[Laurel County]

What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I have:
Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson and Roomies by Christina Lauren.

[Cathy]

I currently have The Night Visitors by Carol Goodman I am also listening to the audio book of Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. I read a couple of stories from A Lucky Man by Jamel Brinkley but ended up moving on. The stories I read were very well-written but just not what I wanted to read at the moment. I might check it out again at some point.

[Robin]

I just checked out "In a Badger Way" by Shelley Laurenston. I'm so excited! I can't wait to get home and start reading it.

[Laurel County]

What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I have:
More Than Words by Jill Santopolo and The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager.

[Debra Diggs]

I have:

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
and
The Penguin Lessons by Tom Michell

[Cathy]

I basically have the same things out as last week....The Night Visitors by Carol Goodman, Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid on Libby, and Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng on audio. I'm about half way through The Night Visitors. It's been pretty "meh" to me but seems to be picking up somewhat....maybe I can get it finished this week. I've started thinking on what I want to read next.

How are you enjoying Daisy Jones and Little Fires?

[Debra Diggs]

Have not started Daisy Jones yet. Will start late today or tomorrow.

I'm loving Daisy Jones & The Six! I'm about half way through the audio version....I'm totally invested in the band...like they are a real band! That's some great writing that can make you feel that way. I'm also liking Little Fires....the title has multiple meanings....both literal and figural.

[Cathy]

I added another book to my library loot.....and this is a good example of the top reasons that make me choose a book. I was doing inventory and this acid green cover with a smiling skull and crossbones caught my eye. I opened the cover and read a blurb by one my favorite authors, Jenny Lawson. The size of the book is fairly thin so......I checked it out! It's The Miniature Wife and Other Stories by Manuel Gonzales. Even the title is catchy! Anyway, I hope it's a good one.

I am so glad that you are enjoying both. I love Taylor Jenkins Reid's writing.

That's a pretty eye-catching cover to say the least haha. I am not a big fan of short stories but let me know what you think about it. I need to try reading more short story collections.

[Laurel County]

What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I have:
Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Red Sister by Mark Lawrence.

[Cathy]

I finally finished Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid on overdrive....so good! I just added All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr to my shelf. I also added Calypso by David Sedaris. I'm going to be seeing him in November at the Lexington Opera House and am already excited about it! I didn't get to spend much time with The Miniature Wife and Other Stories by Manuel Gonzales this weekend so I'm still reading it.

[Laurel County]

What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I have:
The Girl in 6E by A. R. Torre and The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves.

[Debra Diggs]

I have The Big Four by Agatha Christie. It is not one of her better rated books, but I have read 25 pages and so far it is good.

[Cathy]

I'm a little over half way through All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. It's such a good book but heartbreaking also. I'm still reading The Miniature Wife and Other Stories by Manuel Gonzales. Weird little stories but I like them.

I loved Where the Crawdads Sing. Hope you like it.

[Vivian]

I have heard great things about it. Thank you!

[Cathy]

I added another book to my library loot....I saw Outside Looking In by T. Coraghessan Boyle on the new releases shelf and had to get it. I've read several of his books and either liked or in a few cases, loved them. The Tortilla Curtain by him was a real stand-out.

[Cathy]

I am glad that you are enjoying [book: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. I really loved that book. It was a 5-star read for me.

Krystyna, you know I'm stingy with the stars but I agree....this one deserves five!

[Laurel County]

What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I have:
Most Of All You by Mia Sheridan and The Deepest Blue by Sarah Beth Durst.

[Vivian]

Pay It Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde. I loved that movie!
Exit Strategy by Martha Wells. This series is fantastic. This is the last one until the 5th one comes out next year. I have given every single one a 4 or 5 stars. I highly recommend.

[Cathy]

I've just started Outside Looking In by T. Coraghessan Boyle. and I've got Everything's Trash, But It's Okay by Phoebe Robinson on libby.

I will try the first since you recommend it. But, I can't promise that I will continue. I'm not huge on sci-fi. I'm more of a fantasy reader.
