Re: April! (the month not the person)

I finished Where The Grass is Green and The Girls Are Pretty by Lauren Weisberger. It was pretty good. Then I read The End of Her by Shari Lapena. It was compelling but the ending was unsatisfactory, and (this is a nitpick) I am always annoyed by the names of the characters in her books. They always...

OK I finished The Four Winds. Excellent but definitely not uplifting.

Sílvia, I am just over halfway. It's good, but IS depressing. I'm hoping for an uplifting ending.

Re: March!

I finished Did You Miss Me; it was cute. Now I have a suspense novel: Just Like Other Girls by Claire Douglas. Update: I finished Just Like Other Girls in a day. It was quick but just OK. Now I have The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. It's a 2 week loan but I will have to return it next Friday. I thin...

Re: February!

I finished Mary Jane. It was cute, but a little cheesy.

Now I have One, Two, Three by Laurie Frankel. I'm not sure about the premise. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/423 ... -two-three

Re: January 2022!

Jurassic Park was a really good book - I read it before there was a movie. Not sure if anyone reading it now would feel the same because of the movie (which was cool but the book was groundbreaking). I saw the movie back when it was released in the 90s, with the rest of mankind. I'm curious to read...

Re: January 2022!

I finished The Midnight Library. 4 stars. I'm sure I would have rated it higher if I hadn't already read books with a similar theme.

Next up is Good Company by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney

Re: December!

I finished All The Feels by Olivia Dade, super good. The Hit List by Holly Seddon (woman finds her name on a hit list on the dark web). Based on the premise it should have been better than it was. Now back to When The Lights Go Out, by Carys Bray, about a British woman trying to deal with the fact t...
