[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Rose Code by Kate Quinn. This was my second book of hers, the first being The Alice Network. I liked that one a lot but loved The Rose Code. I think I'll keep going back to this author every few books or so.

All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood. This was a book club book and I've seen a ton of great reviews for it but I hated it and kept wanting to give up. I won't give anything away but I was just put off by the whole thing. (For context, I enjoyed Demon Copperhead, which is similar in that it's based on a down-trodden tween/teen, but this book failed to land in every single way that Demon Copperhead managed to).

The Boys from Biloxi by John Grisham. I read all Grisham books. Some are amazing, some are not. This one I thought was not. Oh well.

Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King (and Owen King, his son). The premise of this book was really interesting and raised a lot of questions that would have been great for a book club. I love Stephen King so I read everything of his.

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. This is part of a series (I don't remember how many come after this). It's based on the Yale secret societies, but with a magic twist. Far more engrossing than I thought it would be.

Finally, Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult. I'm probably 3/4 of the way through but not yet done but I am always looking forward to coming back to it.

I do a mix of reading and Audible, which is how I'm able to get through a lot of books. I also have varied tastes (as I imagine is clear from the above list), and I love finding random books I've never heard of and checking them out. Sometimes they're a good idea, sometimes not![/quote]

I just finished the Rose Code and thought it was great. Also finished Under the Whispering Door which was predictable but moving. Now on to Babel.[/quote]

I'm PP. I've never read anything by TJ Klune but have The House In the Cerulean Sea on my list and I just keep hearing other books of his mentioned so now I'm definitely intrigued![/quote]
