I had a free, limited time preview of this one and didn't finish it before it expired so had to wait and just got it from the library so I can finish the last third of the book.

Betsy (ebburtis) | 1291 comments Finished The Women in the Castle The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck . This was pretty good, but I'm kind of done with WWII women's novels for a while.

Betsy (ebburtis) | 1291 comments Little Fires Everywhere Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng on audio. I somehow managed to select part 3 instead of part I when I started this. It seemed a little confusing, but it took me 45 minutes of listening to figure it out. Oh boy! I restarted from part 1 this time!

And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House by Alyssa Mastromonaco . Yes, it’s about politics, but more about being a female leader - and very funny.

Let us know what you think. I read it and wasn't thrilled but I seem to be in the minority.

Betsy (ebburtis) | 1291 comments Just started Stray City Stray City by Chelsey Johnson on Kindle and Born to Run Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen on audio. I've never been a huge Springsteen fan, but the book has gotten great reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. He is a good writer, and he also reads the audio version which makes it kind of fun.

Betsy (ebburtis) | 1291 comments I was struggling with the New Jim Crow - just not in the mood for depressing non-fiction I guess, so I started Stay with Me Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo last night and was drawn right in.
