Re: January 2022!
Just an update on The Cove by Catherine Coulter. OMG, this book is so badly written. The author is a hack. But I don't want to give up on it either.
Re: December!
I finished "The Last Letter from your Lover" by Jojo Moyes. I found it a bit hard to get engaged with at the beginning but by the end I loved it. She's such a good author. Now I'm reading "The Cove" by Catherine Coulter. I'm finding the writing a bit kludgy at times but I'm inter...
Re: December!
I finished Good Neighbors. I liked it, but not super much. I wouldn't seek it out.
Now I'm reading "The Last Letter from My Lover" by Jojo Moyes. So far it's pretty good.

Re: November!
I abandoned Purity by Jonathan Franzen. It was too rambling and I couldn't get into it.
I'm now reading Good Neighbors by Sarah Langen (sp?). So far it's good, but I've only read it for like 15 minutes so far.

Re: November!
I finished "One Plus One" by Jojo Moyes. Overall I enjoyed it. I had a hard time getting into it at the beginning and there were a lot of cringe moments for me, but I liked the ending, so that made up for it. Now I'm reading "Purity" by Jonathan Franzen. So far so good, but I jus...
Re: November!
I finished The Ultimate Age-Defying Plan by Mark Reinfeld. It had a few interesting nuggets of info, nothing earthshattering.
Now onto One Plus One by Jojo Moyes.

Re: October!
I finally bailed on finishing that non-fiction Black Swans book. It was SO BORING.
Now I'm reading "Good Luck with That" by Kristan Higgins. So far it's good.

Re: September!
I finished "The Windup Girl". It never really got better, but I slogged through it. It was kind of interesting but definitely wouldn't be a recommendation. Now I'm reading "The Black Swan" which is non-fiction about unexpected events. I know, I'm like 10 years behind the curve on...
Re: August!
I finished "Exercised", a non-fiction about exercise. It was pretty interesting. Then I started "The Windup Girl" by Paolo Bacigalupi. It's set in Bangkok in the future (science fiction). I'm honestly not a huge fan, it's a little too "literary" for my liking if you kno...
Re: July!
I finished "Confessions on the 7:45". I liked it quite a lot. At the beginning I had a hard time getting into it but it really picked up steam.
Now I'm reading "Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding". So far it's fairly interesting.

Re: June!
I finished "This Little Light". While I liked it quite a lot at the beginning, I felt like it just went downhill as it went along. Wouldn't recommend it overall.
Now I'm reading "The Pleasure Trap" which is non-fiction about how we are motivated by pleasure.

Re: June!
I finished 28 Summers and found it unsatisfying. It was well written but I dunno. I was just mildly grumpy about the whole thing. Now I'm reading "This Little Light" by Lori Lansens. I feared it based on the title/cover but it's actually really good so far. And she's Canadian, unbeknownst ...
Re: May!
I finished The Perfect Couple (quite liked it), and now I really am reading 28 Summers.
Re: May!
I realized to my embarrassment that I'm not reading 28 Summers, I'm reading The Perfect Couple.
Re: May!
I've started "28 Summers" by Elin Hildebrand. So far so good!

Re: April! (the month not the person)
I finished The Switch a few days ago and enjoyed it. Light and fluffy.
Now I'm reading "Touching the Void" which is a memoir about mountain climbing. So far I'm not really into it, but maybe it will improve.

Re: April!
Silvia, maybe I do. It's about a woman and her grandmother who switch lives for 2 weeks / a month, I forget.
