I've read a few recently:

The Last One at the Wedding by Jason Rekulak 4 stars
No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall 3 stars
Maybe Next Time by Cesca Major 3.5 stars

I'm about to start More or Less Maddy by Lisa Genova. She tends to write around neuro issues (she has a PhD in neuroscience) plus family drama. This one is about a bipolar teen - she usually handles it well.

I just finished Is She Really Going Out With Him by Sophie Cousens. It was cuter than the title would imply.

Next up is Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson.

I liked Pineapple Street but I typically enjoy rich people behaving badly.

I read Misery by Stephen King which was ok. I liked the movie better which is never the case. Maybe because I saw the movie first and think Kathy Bates really nailed the character of Annie Wilkes. I want to watch the movie again now. I read it for a book club with a friend.

I'm also halfway through Guilty Creatures which is a nonfiction about 2 couples and how the wife in one and husband in another conspired to murder the wife's husband so they could be together and get all the insurance $$. Oh...in Florida.

Was it a reference to the song? I love that song.

I read an old Kristan Higgins and it was another 2 stars for me. I usually love her stuff, but maybe just her more recent stuff.

Then I read a great Brazilian, not translated into English. 4 stars.

Then yesterday, you won't believe this, but I went to a used books store and bought 2 books. Yes, paper books :shock: I think I haven't read one in 5 years. I understand the appeal, I really do, but the font sizes! :crying Anyway, I bought and started The Thread by Victoria Hislop. I might go back to the store one of these days. It felt a bit magical, after reading on a kindle for so long :D

That's funny Silvia. I love printed books. LOVE

It's weird I prefer the paperback that are not the little mass market size. I don't love hardcovers but I'll buy those too. Pretty much only used if I can.
