@Leanne Yes it is! I’m really enjoying. The story is well written and hasn’t lagged at all yet. It’s the first in a trilogy. I’m not a fast reader so it will take me a while to finish
So maybe that really means I should say I’m reading a paper on acceptance of use for recycled water. At this point in the copyedit it’s even a reread! :p
Just started Michelle McNamara’s I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for.the haunting true story of the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California during the 70s to the mid-80s.
@Geeti, I picked it up without knowing at first it was a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew – I thought it was a terrific adaptation. But not surprising, I love all of Anne Tyler’s work!
@Laura ditto! Picked it up as I really love Anne Tyler and then learned about Hogarth Shakespeare and now plan to read as many as I can get my greedy hands on.
I’m reading IT. I’d seen the old movie or mini series-can’t remember which it was —so silly me; I never got around to reading IT but, on my stars, the depth and intensity of the book towers to the comparison.
The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni. (I haven’t been hooked yet though. I’m hoping something substantial to bite is coming up soon. I sometimes think I have an attention deficit disorder.)
Honestly I didn’t really relate like it was done when the series came out but it’s too twisted for my little brain. Plus I’m really no fan of destopian novels
America’s First Daughter by Stephanie Dray. A book club selection. I find the writing style annoying, and I’m struggling to stay interested. ? And it’s a long one, not sure I’ll make it through. I rarely quit books, but… Does anyone know if it’s worth it?
@Donna I really enjoyed Mr Mercedes I was expecting the same but if I would’ve read the series in order maybe I wouldn’t have been so disappointed lol! Enjoy!
I finished The beautiful mystery this afternoon. Upset, worried, needing a change of pace, I started The Year of Living Biblically. So far it’s pretty comical.
@GeorgeAnn this is actually my first Stephen King. Since Rosemary’s Baby a million years ago I’ve avoided horror. But I had finished a book at my mom’s and had to find something else. I’m really enjoying it.
Where’d you go Bernadette?

Homegoing.

I really liked it Dyanne, once I got into the groove of the author’s back and forth writing. I predict a movie will be made from this book.
