was a fun, escapist romp

Hmmm…..

Let me take a glance at my nightstand here….

Okay so am reading a mediocre suspense thriller by Shari Lapena titled “Everyone Here Is Lying.”
I bought it second-hand from a used bookshop & it honestly is just okay.

Not a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 novel by any means - however very easy to read + I admit, the suspense is a tad addictive.

I am both a Mother as well as a Nanny & I really liked this book 📖.

I am halfway through The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared. It’s so much fun! I’ve been pickling bushels of vegetables today and it has made the time fly by. Fredrik Bachman but less depressing.

Custom of the Country is my favorite Wharton. It's very contemporary and Undine could be a modetn influencer/celeb. I hope you like it!

As I've gotten into Custom of the Country I'm liking it more and more!!

I’m the other poster that started the books the after my kids got home from camp. Yes, the book is less about the missing kids and more about the relationships. It was a very quick and excellent read.

+1 I couldn’t put it down and I am not a mystery book person.

I am reading Familiaris and am loving it! It is long and I am about halfway through. I love the characters, it is tragic, funny, touching, and captures the era (so far, late 1800s and 1920s)

I’m at the beach so I’m reading fluff set at the beach. Just finished The Lucky Girls of Shipwreck Lane and have an Elin Hildebrand teed up. But I’ll be revisiting this thread to add to my library hold list (The God of the Woods is already on there.)

Can someone recommend more like God of Woods? It just sucked me in.

Have you read Tana French? Her Dublin murder squad series is fantastic. Starts with Into the Woods

Just finished a reread of Gone with the Wind on audio. It's a fantastic reading. I think I like her Rhett even more than Clark Gable's version. Of course she has the benefit of reading the entire novel instead of just the screenplay that leaves out a lot.

I love Tana French. Also Kate Atkinson’s Jackson Broady novels.

Thank you! I haven’t. What I like most is the reflection back on a certain time.
