Talk Healthy

I finished Two Truths and a Lie this weekend. It was meh -> fine.

I have the newest Mary Kubica that I will probably start when I have some time.

I finished 28 Summers and found it unsatisfying. It was well written but I dunno. I was just mildly grumpy about the whole thing.

Now I'm reading "This Little Light" by Lori Lansens. I feared it based on the title/cover but it's actually really good so far. And she's Canadian, unbeknownst to me (till I googled the spelling of her name just now).

I've loved every Lori Lansens book except This Little Light. Actually The Girls is probably one of my top 3 books of all time.

I finished Local Girl Missing by Mary Kubica this weekend which I really liked and was a 4 star until the end when it dropped 1/2 a star. I also finished Beth and Amy by Virginia Kantra which is the second in a contemporary series revolving around Little Women. I enjoyed this one -- 4 stars. The first is Meg and Jo if you're at all interested.

I have a pile of new releases. Not sure what is next.

Finished "This Tender Land," by William Kent Krueger, which is the current selection for work's book club. It was good! I wanted it to be more based in real history, but it really was essentially pure fiction. It's a great story, though, and it was an enjoyable read.

Back to "Persist," by Elizabeth Warren. It's so funny how clearly her voice comes through in the writing. Apparently she narrates the audiobook version, and I bet it's just awesome.

I finished "This Little Light". While I liked it quite a lot at the beginning, I felt like it just went downhill as it went along. Wouldn't recommend it overall.

Now I'm reading "The Pleasure Trap" which is non-fiction about how we are motivated by pleasure.

If anyone likes "spice" in their reading, I read The Idea of You by Robinne Lee. It's pretty spicy but I enjoyed it .

Currently reading Who is Maud Dixon? which I'm really enjoying. I couldn't go to bed last night I was so involved.

I liked the Mother in Law and also The Other Sister by the same author.

I loved Who is Maud Dixon? - will be one of my faves for the year I think.

Not sure what's next on the pile....
