What are you reading??

I'm halfway through One by One by Ruth Ware - it's good but not loving it as much as some of her other books.

Earlier today I finished "Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right," by Arlie Russell Hochschild. It was excellent!

Just downloaded "Listen, Liberal: Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People," by Thomas Frank.

After this one I will likely need something fluffier!

I'm all about the fluff lately. I'm in my third Kristan Higgins in a row and loving it. Reality is grim enough. Ah, the book is called On Second Thought.

I've started "28 Summers" by Elin Hildebrand. So far so good!

I read The Lost Apothecary. Pretty good.

Now I have The Rose Code by Kate Quinn. I'm finding that reading about WWII makes our current problems seem small.

I cried at the end of 28 Summers. :cute I've read a few of hers before but i really liked this one and/or needed super fluffy in my life.

I'm still reading One by One by Ruth Ware. I feel it's kinda disjointed a bit.

I realized to my embarrassment that I'm not reading 28 Summers, I'm reading The Perfect Couple. :blush

Blush - that's on my list...I'll have to give it priority.

I just finished My Daughter's Mother by Daniela Petrova. I liked it. Twisty not super amazing writing but good story. M always laughs at the titles of the books i read. LOL

Not sure what's next.

They're both great!

I'm on my 4th Kristan Higgins in a row. I don't know if it's the horrible times we're living, but I don't wanna read anything else, and her style fits my taste perfectly.

I just finished Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarland. It was the perfect escape. I laughed and teared up. 5 stars.

Now I have The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth.

Finished "Listen, Liberal." It was ok--kind of sad, also informative.

Just started "Queenie," by Candice Carty-Williams. It was the selection for book club at work; I will miss the discussion but still wanted to read it. It's ok so far.

Finished Queenie already. It was a good quick read; didn't love it, but it was ok.

I think I'm next going to re-read "The Golden Compass," by Philip Pullman. I'd read it back when it was first published and just want to refresh my memory on the story. I remember it being quite good.
