I started Kindred
for my book group and The Twelve Dogs of Christmas
on audio for the holiday season. The Andy Carpenter mysteries are always enjoyable.
In the Wash: The Rona Shively Stories that I started hoping to get it done before the end of the year to round up my total for 2017 to an even 130 and
The Grave's a Fine and Private Place
Started Beartown
on audio and The Women in the Castle
. Got the latter in some giveaway - I got a lot of giveaways in 2017.
The Rules Do Not Apply and then
No One Cares About Crazy People: The Chaos and Heartbreak of Mental Health in America
Just started Never Coming Back by Alison McGhee
Listened to
Public Library and Other Stories tonight. Then moved on to
One Nation After Trump: A Guide for the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate, and the Not-Yet Deported
Started We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy
and also got The Immortalists
. 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.
Finished The Women in the Castle
. This was pretty good, but I'm kind of done with WWII women's novels for a while.
Started listening to The Afterlives
And reading
The Importance of Being Earnest for my book group on Monday.
A Death in the Family by Michael Stanley
Little Fires Everywhere
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!
Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?: And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House
. Yes, it’s about politics, but more about being a female leader - and very funny.
I just started
The Immortalists
Karen wrote: "I just started The Immortalists"Let us know what you think. I read it and wasn't thrilled but I seem to be in the minority.
Just started Stray City
on Kindle and Born to Run
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.
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
last night and was drawn right in.
Excited to be starting
Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk. I will be attending a book signing/luncheon with Kathleen Rooney here in SC on Friday. Also, since it is National Poetry Month enjoyed
Robinson Alone written by her about a little known poet of last century named Weldon Kees.
Listening to The Hate U Give
and reading hardcover of Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI
