I started Rest is Resistance. I love the message but the first chapter is a bit repetitive. Not sure I’ll stick with it.

I re-read the US Constitution every year. Should be required reading.

I recently got off the hold list for Fourth Wing, and I'm going to start it today! I just finished Carrie Soto is Back yesterday, and liked it (but I posted about this in the June thread).

I picked Fourth Wing because it seems very popular in a FB book group I am in, and my sister and her friend read it and both liked it.

Just started How To Lose A Time War, which I’ve been meaning to read for years. Really enjoying it so far.

Glad you liked Carrie Soto, I had heard mixed reviews. What is the fb book group you’re a part of?

Is it YA Fantasy? Are you normally a fan? Would love to hear what you think.

I didn’t care for the Carrie Soto book. I only liked Daisy and the Six from that author.

I didn’t like Daisy Jones but I liked Evelyn Hugo.

I know this is going to sound absurd, but I carry a copy of it with me at all times. It's small, fits easily into my purse. It was given to me by a VIP when I started working years ago, after she gave a speech to all of us new lawyers about our sacred duty to uphold the rule of law. I took it seriously. And have kept that little reminder with me ever since. It's come in handy a few times when someone who didn't know anything about the Constitution started rambling on about it and getting things wrong, lol.

Verity. So good with unexpected plot twist in the end

I’m going to do that tomorrow! Thanks for the idea; it’s a nice way to celebrate the season.

FWIW - I like Carrie Soto, Daisy Jones and Evelyn Hugo all pretty equally - & more than I liked Malibu Rising.
Peloton Moms Book Club - I love that group. You can join even if you're not a mom or have a peloton, I believe.

I think it's about dragons I'm up for anything, really, and I like to change things up. I haven't read a dragon book recently
My sister's review was "Fourth Wing isn't going to win any Pulizer Prizes, but I can't put it down."

Me again - sorry to keep posting, but I wanted to add that I am glad I read Malibu Rising, because Carrie Soto is a character in it. Also - Carrie Soto is Back is a lot of tennis, more tennis than I was expecting. I don't play tennis but as a general matter, I like sports and books about sports. It was a good beach read - I read it while in Hilton Head this past week.
