@Jill Allegra Goodman will be here next week. I hope if you (and everyone else here!) will drop in & ask a question or two if you have a few minutes.

Last week I said I was reading Darker Than the Sky and was having difficulty getting into it, but would finish it. Hate to admit it, but I gave up. Just finished Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger and the title is so appropriate for this book. Despite being a mystery, there is such a quiet beauty to this book.

Still listening to The 1619 Project.

I am reading Somewhere Between Luck and Trust by Emilie Richards

I just finished Wally Lamb’s new book, The River is Waiting. I could not put this book down. I am a HUGE fan of Wally Lamb and this book may be ( in my opinion) his best work. I actually need a few days to process the effect this book has had on me.

I am reading The Sequel after finishing The Plot. Both books are amazing page turners.

I started KING OF ASHES by S.A. Cosby yesterday…hate that I have to put
it down. He describes his characters so perfectly, you can really see them.
There’s plenty of action and always a big problem to be solved.

I’ve read a few of that author’s books now, Dotti, and I really like them a lot. They’re pretty harsh at times but his characters are excellent, and the plots always draw me in. I’ll have to put that one on my list.

I am reading Aftertaste by Daria Lavelle. Have about 80 pages remaining so should finish tonight. Curious to see how this story ends. I am listening to Project Hail Mary on audio. It was recommended by so many to listen to this one and it has been so great. I will be re-reading Crooked House by Agatha Christie next as it is the June Read Christie selection. Finally I have Razorblade Tears by SA Crosby set to read after Christie.

I recently attended an author event of Wally Lamb and started his book The River is Waiting. Tough topic, but can’t put it down. I also have JoJo Moyes We All Live Here from Libby and reading on my iPad.
