I finished the Cory Doctorow novel. Compelling but scary.
Next: Grace is Gone by Emily Elgar.

Re: December!
I finished "The Farm" by Joanne Ramos, really enjoyed it.
Then I started "What She Knew" by Gilly Macmillan. So far I'm not really enjoying it, she's writing from two different people's viewpoints in the first person, but the writing style is exactly the same for both as far as I can tell. She really should have just gone for 3rd person instead of first. Anyway, I'm going to give it a chance to pick up its socks. I only started it last night so I've only read like the first 3 segments so far.

I finished Grace is Gone. It was good, but I had it figured out in the first half.
Now I have Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. I have high hopes.

Re: December!
This weekend I read:
The Silence by Don DeLilio - this is the WORST book I've read in 10 years and maybe all of my life. It was completely pretentious and the dialogue was just ridiculous. If it wasn't just ~150 pages I would have never finished it.
They All Fall Down by Rachel Howzell Hall - this was good. Full of unlikeable characters so if that bugs you stay away. Very Agatha Christie-esque.
Not sure what's next but I have a healthy library stack!

Re: December!
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman was GREAT.
Now I have a rom com by Lindsey Kelk called In Case You Missed It.

Re: December!
I finished In Case You Missed It. It was cute.
Now I have Impersonation by Heidi Pitlor. It's about a ghostwriter.
ETA: finished that one; it was just ok. Then one called Miss You, but it had a different title in GoodReads. Twice as long as it needed to be and quite cringey.
Now I have Rosie Colored Glasses by Brianna Wolfson. 50 pages in. It's promising.

I finished Rosie Coloured Glasses. Very emotional.
Now I have A Good Family by AH Kim.
Update: 3 stars on that one. I started Santa Monica by Cassidy Lucas today; I'm about halfway through. 70 books or bust!
