I started this but just got The Correspondent from the library (finally!) so taking a pause. The first third I have liked though.

I love Marcellus. The author lives in a town near me and often attends author events at the local bookstore. I told her I'd love another book written from Marcellus' perspective!

There is a sequel by the same author Ruth Ware that came out about six mos. ago.

Also Netflix has a movie based on this book too which is kind of good though I preferred the book 📖 myself.

The sequel is trash

Just read Ian mcewans new book “what we can know”. Really good.

You might enjoy reading the Kurlansky book about paper right afterwards!

I LOVED The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper! I don't know anyone IRL who has read it and would love to hear what you think!

I’m reading “The Road to Tender Hearts” by Annie Hartnett and loving it. Funny, sad, weird and uplifting all at the same time. I was laughing out loud on the train and getting looks from fellow passengers. For once the blurbs—from John Irving and two authors whose books I recently loved (Shark Heart and Margo’s Got Money Troubles)—felt spot on! I love all of the characters (including Pancakes, the cat who can predict death)

Just finishing People We Meet on Vacation, just starting Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed

I just started Sociopath: A Memoir and it’s too soon to form an opinion. My next read will be The Correspondent.

My last great read was The Wedding People.

This was a DNF for me. Will be interested to hear what you think. I got bored quickly.

It was a DNF for me, too! Like, within the first couple of chapters.

What does DNF mean guys?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

did not finish

Just finished a stand-alone novel by Tony Hillerman ( known for his Navajo mystery stories)
Finding Moon takes place in Southeast Asia during the fall of Saigon in 1975. Malcolm “Moon” Mathias leaves Colorado and sets off on a mission to rescue the Vietnamese daughter of his recently deceased brother. Fast paced and enjoyable. A quick read.

I just finished Beartown, and while I have zero interest in hockey, the writing and story were very compelling.

I LOVED Lake Effect. And liked Beartown.
