Talk Healthy

So....still haven't cracked my book open yet this week. Working/adulting is really getting in the way.

If I could share how dirty my house is....ugh. Winter hockey is almost over and I should have a break for a bit until spring hockey and lax picks up.

I have 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne next on my pile.

Feb was a light month for me and reading. I did just recently re-read Stephen King's book On Writing. I can't believe it's nearly 20 years old. He doesn't plot at all!

For the record, I haven't read Puddin' but I heard it's good although not as good as the original.

I liked Dumplin but I really liked the movie on Netflix.

There's a sequel...Puddin'

There's a LOT of buzz about that book Syl. I'll be curious to hear what you think. It's self published so not in libraries.

I'm reading Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney and liking it.

I read The Other Woman by Sandie Jones this weekend which was pretty good plus it was a fast read.

I'm reading Freefall by Jessica Barry which I'm liking.

Syl -- how about some easy-ish historical fiction? I recently loved The Address and The Masterpiece both by Fiona Davis. Both are NY settings.

Spudd - I definitely suggest watching You anyway. I tend not to remember books so that might help me but the whole family is enjoying the series.

I didn't love An Anonymous Girl. I liked the first half but thought the second half was weirdly rushed.

I read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas which was good. Quick read.

Not sure what's next on the pile. Either Sometimes I Lie or The Other Woman.

I'm halfway through An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. I usually don't like 2 authors as I can tell the different voices but these 2 work really well with each other. Really enjoying this -- i was in a bit of a reading rut but I think i'm out.

I used to be put off by her beach-y covers, but this is my third book by her and they're right up my alley :crystal I still have no intention of reading anything heavier. I'm of the mind to never apologize for what you are reading, ever. You're reading. I get into YA moods and often these are girly...

Anyone want to play? These are the 4 star books of 122 that I read last year. Behind Closed Doors BA Paris I Liked My Life Abby Fablaschi The Woman in the Window AJ Finn The Immortalists Chloe Benjamin Best Day Ever Kaira Ronda Class Mom Laurie Gelman The Good Daughter Karin Slaughter All These Beau...

I have a few things on my pile not sure what I'll grab either Scythe or The Address.

Happy New Year all!

Maybe some fluffy YA Syl? Not sure if you dig that stuff but I really liked the Jenny Han trilogy (To All the Boys I've Loved Before). Over Christmas I read: My Sister, the Serial Killer (which I liked) and When Life Give You Lululemons (which I didn't but knew I wouldn't so not sure why I even read...

I've had a book hangover from The Masterpiece and haven't picked up anything in a week. Part of it is that I've had to work every night this week. Hopefully I can kick myself out of it this weekend.

Blush -- I liked Ready Player One but not as much as "everyone else". Enjoy!

I read The Masterpiece by Fiona Davis this weekend. I really liked it. It's about Grand Central Terminal and has 2 narratives: 1920s and 1970s. I love learning about something when I read fiction.

I have Scythe by Neal Shusterman next.

I read The Nowhere Girls this weekend - YA that I really liked. Easy read.

I started The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory last night. It's a really quick read - fluffy - I think I'll like it.

I finished Nine Perfect Strangers and while it went quickly, I didn't really enjoy it. Maybe my expectations were too high --Syl YMMV.

syl- If you like Rebecca, you should look at The Winters by Lisa Gabriele which is a modern retelling that I heard about on a podcast. Haven't read either so can't personally vouch for them. I love Seven Husbands -- it's my go-to recommend to people this year. Hope you like it. I'm reading Liane Mor...

I have The Man in the Basement by Walter Mosley in my work bag. I haven't started it yet - but hopefully later.
