I am not sure where I left off from the Spring Reading thread but recent reads include:
1) Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (liked it ) 2) Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. It was OK but I was not crazy about it -I liked her first book better. It was a good discussion book for my group though. I am currently reading Moonglow by Michael Chabon and really like it so far. I loved his The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Another book coming up for one of my book groups is A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles which I hear is great. |

I almost picked up the Amazing Adventures... book awhile back; instead I got The Final Solution, which I liked.

I read The Martian and really enjoyed it. But, I do admit that there were some really dry and long science parts in which I had no interest, so I would
read, read, read ... {get to a science part} scan, scan, scan ... read, read, read (etc., etc., etc.)

Beth, I find Marian Keyes' books to be hit or miss. This one is a definite dud. I may just read the last chapter to find out how the situation resolves.
I am in a reading slump. Nothing seems appealing. I am re-reading an old favorite and hope to find something at the library this week. I have plenty of books at home I have not read yet, but I can't get into anything. Sherry
