Finished The Vacationers by Emma Straub and really enjoyed it.

Also read:

Savage Drift (final book in the Monument 14 trilogy) - I liked it - good ending for the series

The Demon of Brownsville Road (book about a haunted house less than a mile from me). OMG, it was so poorly written. Terrible.

Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay - Excellent

Right now I'm reading Metro 2033 (or 3023..? IDK the numbers. It's a dystopian book - people living in the tunnels of the underground trains in Russia. Sounds good right? Ugh, it's not. Apparently there is a video game based on this that Jeff loved and he kept telling me to read it. Now I feel like I have to finish it even though I don't care about any of the characters and I have a bunch of other books from the library that I WANT to read.

Spudd, I liked 11/22/63 as well. I've got a JFK "thing" anyway...not sure why.

Mellen, so jealous you've got so much reading in.

Still on The Fever.

Yesterday I finished the audiobook of "Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer" by Novella Carpenter. Loved it. This topic is right up my alley, and the writing was really entertaining.

This morning I started "Becoming Odyssa: Adventures on the Appalachian Trail" by Jennifer Pharr Davis. Seems good so far and is also a topic right up my alley. I'm a little worried it'll be a lot of overlap with "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed but am guessing it'll still be good.

Finished Metro 2033. Looooong and not very good.

Tried to read A Girl is a Half Formed Thing. Couldn't do it. The writing is very "stream of consciousness", which I found incredibly annoying.

Now I"m reading Station Eleven - it is excellent so far.

Mellen I just read about that book in Entertainment Weekly. It definitely sounded good.

I finished that King book last night - 11/22/63. I really enjoyed it.

I'm not sure what's next... need to peruse my Kindle and see what I have lying around.
