@Charlotte that so describes Michael A Singer! His autobiography is called The Surrender Experiment, it’s about how he decided to not resist anything the Universe puts in front of him, and just open himself up to everything no matter if his mind said it was a bad idea, or he didn’t want to do it. He ended up building a community in Florida, and a multi million dollar company. It’s really interesting, and inspiring!
I’m working in All Clear (the sequel to Blackout), and so many secrets are coming out now, plenty of suspense. Historical fiction with a dash of sci-fi
I love Jen Sincero! I have all her books. My favorite is You Are A Badass At Making Money. She had a new one that came out in December, and it’s like a p ok diet guide on how to win at life!
@Alejandra it’s a game changer. It made me realize all the money blocks that I had and I had really silly misconceptions of money, and people who have lots of it. It will definitely light a fire under your ass.
I’m currently reading a Robert Parker follow up by Reed Farrel Coleman. A new in the Jesse Stone series. It’s good but not great. I’m still going with The Au Pair as best book of the month. I’ve got a big pile though, it could still change. Find me a good time travel book , that could do it. I don’t think there are any I haven’t read though.
The House by the Lake by Thomas Harding. The biography of a house I Germany and the families who lived in it, showing the history of 20th century Germany. It was built in the 1920s by a Jewish family, requisitioned by the Nazis and has the Berlin Wall running through the garden. Fascinating and gripping, I absolutely loved it.
Excellent! I absolutely loved it, it made me really want to visit Berlin. The author is the grandson of one of the Jewish children who lived in the house.
Ohio, Stephen Markley. Not for the squeamish. Very brutal, but amazing in the way it weaves together common experiences of the characters/ each seeing events from his/her own unique perspective. The author is also skilled at foreshadowing what is going to happen..so you don’t actually guess it, but when it happens…ah!

Have you by chance read any of the books by Marianne Williamson. I love her.
No, I haven’t. I will look her up, what kinda books does she write?
Spiritual, not religious. Course in Miracles, some of them. Her best is A Return to Love. She also has lectures on you tube that are good.
