I’m reading Attachments right now. It’s cute and definitely has me quickly turning the pages too. I needed a lighter, fun read after the heavy books I’ve been reading.
Does this mean best book published in 2018 so far? For me, that would be Circe by Madeline Miller- totally wowed by the research and the fast-paced, entertaining storyline.
@Jade I just finished it!!! I really enjoyed it. I’m going to go back and read ‘His Dark Materials’ and then reread it. It had been a while and I was trying to remember who the characters were and who they were in the other books…
That’s what i’m going to do. I love it. This one and I have the compilation of The Giver and it’s sequels. I read it as a kid and in school but had no idea it was a series. i’m excited
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah, The Midwife Series by Jodi Daynard, The Tuscan Child by Rhys Bowen, Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly, White Rose Black Forest by Eoin Dempsey were all the books that I’ve read so far this year. The Great Alone was by far my favorite.
THE WIDOWS OF MALABAR HILL (a mystery) by Sujata Massey. Takes place in India during the early 1920s and is centered on India’s first accredited woman lawyer (who had studied law at Oxford).
