Me too! The audio book is read by Prince Harry and adds something special.

Windfall: The Prairie Woman Who Lost Her Way and the Great-Granddaughter Who Found Her by Erika Bolstad. I find the subtitle of this book a bit misleading, as it was less about the search for Anna, the author's grandmother, and what the author discovered about her, than about the environmental and other issues related to the oil industry in North Dakota. So it wasn't what I was looking for, despite having a good bit of interesting information. It was a bit repetitive, but all in all, a decent read. 3 stars.

“Pineapple Street” by Jenny Jackson. Meh. Rich people problems. “You never know what might happen and you’ll need all 37+million dollars”. Could not find sympathy or empathy for majority of the characters.

[Tanya]

I read Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati -- about Agamemnon's wife/murderer. It's quite gritty and at pains to be historically accurate, as far as is possible: quite dark.

[Cathy]

I Loved The Half Known Life: In Search of Paradise by Pico Iyer Enjoy !

[Denise]

Read the ARC of The Perfumist of Paris...didn't think it was as good as the first 2.

[Katrina]

🌟🌟

[Belinda]

I am using Earth’s the Right Place for Love by Elizabeth Berg for this prompt. Mostly because it doesn’t fit any of the other props and it really was not my favorite book but it fits the description. I gave this three stars because it was so slow and mundane that I would not recommend it.

[Heather]

Captivated from the first chapter. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Hannah Dolby - No Life for a Lady.

It's all right. Not the most exciting or the worst mystery I've read. The cover is my sore point, because it doesn't match the content.

Just finished Ward D by Freida McFadden, who never disappoints. I started reading this on the treadmill yesterday, which was a mistake. As with all her thrillers, my heart rate went up a little faster than it should have, lol. Four stars. As always, it's a great read, but not her best.
