Started Summer of '69 by Elin Hilderbrand. Love it so far.

Finished Summer of '69. Didn't like it in the end. What I loved at the beginning was the setting. The plot was super dull. I wonder if there are ghost writers involved. This woman is releasing TWO new books a year and this felt like a different writer from The Perfect Couple, which was excellent.
Now I'm reading The Flatshare by... Beth something? It's a rom-com.

Ha! I felt exactly the opposite, Blush! Loved the post-election stuff.
Finished The Flatshare. It was cute and entertaining, but not as adorable as I was hoping for.
Started The Disappearance of Stephanie Mailer by Joel Dïcker. I'm only 8% in, but I think I'll like it.

I finished the Chinese detective novel I was reading and enjoyed it. It was a very neat way to set up the novel, it was basically like 6 or 7 independent stories, but all starring the same main character, and in reverse chronological order. "The Borrowed" by Chan Ho-Kei
When we were in PEI we saw the Anne of Green Gables musical (so good!) and it made me want to re-read Anne, so I bought a 10-pack of all the Anne books for 99c from the Kindle store (gotta love public domain literature). I'm starting with Anne of Green Gables and will decide once I finish it whether I want to continue with the other books in the series or not.

I read An American Marriage because it was due back at the library. The beginning is good (first 100 pages or so), then it turns melodramatic and slow. Glad I didn't pay.
Now I'm back to The Disappearance of Stephanie Mailer.

Re: July: what are you reading?
I'm still reading The Disappearance of Stephanie Mailer 
It has way too many characters and way too many seemingly unrelated story lines, so it's taking forever for things to start making sense, but I'm enjoying it. But it feels more like I'm watching a TV show than reading a book. I'm at 78% now and last night it really felt like things were starting to be explained, but then the next chapter started with a major character talking about his childhood (WTF?? What does it matter now?? I just wanna know who did it!).
I also started Close Enough To Touch by Colleen Oakley, a rom-com. I love it so far, hope it doesn't turn stupid.
