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.
December! What are you reading?

Re: December! What are you reading?
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!

Re: December! What are you reading?
When the stroke hit us on Nov 24th I was at 72% in The Possible World. I wasn't loving it, ended up giving it 3 stars, but I'll remember forever that I was reading this damn book when our lives were turned upside down. I kinda feel sorry for the author. It took me more than 2 weeks to finish the remaining 100 pages or so, and I'm not too sure of what I read.
Then I tried to read One Day in December because it was supposed to be light and fluffy. I got to 25% and thought it was just stupid. Then I tried reading something by Kelly Rimmer about a woman who was addicted to drugs and was pregnant. Too heavy.
Then I think I settled on This Could Change Everything by Jill Mansell, which so far seems the right amount of light and fluffy. I really can't handle anything heavier right now.

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 it).
I started reading The 7.5 Lives of Evelyn Hardcastle at the dealership (oil change) and it's not grabbing me quite yet. I just picked up the new Bullet Journal how-to so I might jump to that.

Re: December! What are you reading?
I might try that, Ro. Thanks for the suggestion! The last couple of days I've read 43 pages, yay! I just couldn't focus before and never read more than 2 pages, tops.
Re: December! What are you reading?
I liked Water for Elephants, although I listened to the audiobook instead of reading it. Sometimes that helps so I never know if I'm being a fair judge or not.
I've been reading the Jack Reacher books for the past long while (I got a compilation of the first 6 in a single ebook, so it's taking a while). I'm really enjoying them. They're easy reads but there's some suspense and mystery to keep you interested. And Jack Reacher is such a ridiculous character that he entertains me.
