Thanks for the list! There are several I've been looking forward to that will be released this month.

I'm reading Mrs. Roosevelt's Confidante by Susan Elia MacNeal. It's a like but not love although I keep getting more into it as I go.

I'm also reading The Remedy for Regret, probably my least favorite book by Susan Meissner. It's good enough that I'm sticking with it and I'm looking forward to finishing it.

Longing for Paris wasn't the book I needed right now, but I'm very much liking Living Well Spending Less by Ruth Soukup.

I've also started Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Matthew Dicks. It's pretty good so far.

I'm reading The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny - I just love her writing!

I finished my first Jo Jo MOyes book - Ship of Brides and will read Me Before You at some point, maybe once the furor dies down over the new release so I can read them back to back?

Laura -I think I'm up to that book next in the Maggie Hope series. I have enjoyed them but I don't think any have been "Loves" for me.

Oh, I also read Alice Hoffman's Blackbird House which I enjoyed.

Happy Fall Reading -

Donna

I am interested in hearing what you think about this. I read The Dovekeepers and liked it. I was thinking of reading the book that was released before Opposites- The Museum of Extraordinary Things I think it is called.

This summer, I tried to read and enjoy some chick lit...that plan was a bust. I tried multiple books but none of them I would rate as a good read. I'm returning to my one true love in reading - mysteries.

I just finished Hotwire by Alex Kava. It's part of her Maggie Odell series. I've read the earlier books and was excited to return to this series. I really enjoy her books. It's not too gory and moves the mystery along at a good pace.

I just finished The Fires of Autumn by Irene Nemirovsky. It made up for my disappointment in The Nightingale.

Just started On the Move by Oliver Sacks. I downloaded the sample to my kindle just before bed, and ended up buying it and staying up too late reading. It seems to ramble a bit, but I am a fan of his. If he had done the narration on the audible, that would have been a slam dunk for my next audible book -- love his voice! -- but since he did not, I am reading it and imagining he is reading it aloud to me.

I think I loved the first one because it was just so different from the mysteries I had been reading - either cozy mysteries or "hard-boiled detective hunts down murderer", all of which had the same vibe. I liked book 2 and thought book 3 just got too dark. With this one, I'm back to a solid like.

I enjoyed both "What the Dog Saw" -- the history of hair coloring products and the essay about ketchup were my favorites -- and "Under the Banner of Heaven." Great reads.

I am finishing up "Sometimes Madness is Wisdom: The Marriage of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald." It was exhaustively researched, sometimes a slog, but on the whole, an interesting endeavor. I have a large stack to choose from for my next book.

Along the way, I picked up and skimmed Alejandro Junger's "Clean," about a detoxifying diet, and while I had the best intentions, I had an undeniable Krystal craving (or is it kraving?). Perhaps baby steps are for me.

And (I promise that this is it) a few months ago I decided to start writing down in a journal a list of everything I have read. Interesting! I had thought about doing that many times in the past, and how I wished I'd started far earlier.

Happy reading.

Aunt Famous - I started a book journal in January, something I am so glad I did! I hope to keep it up along with my workout journal which I have done faithfully since I joined VF in 2006.
