I started Daughter of Molokai, the follow-up to a book I absolutely LOVED. It was okay, nothing wrong with it, but it just didn't engage me enough for me to continue.
I'm also reading Lady Clementine, a novel about Winston Churchill's wife. The book had a slow start, but I've stuck with it. She is a fascinating character.

Finished "This Boy We Made: A Memoir of Motherhood, Genetics, and Facing the Unknown" and had mixed feelings about it. Also read the first "Humans of New York" book. I love these books but this was my least favorite of the three I've read. Currently reading, "What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma." Almost done with it and anxious to move on to, "CONCUSSION RESCUE: A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM TO HEAL TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY." I'm struggling with post-concussive syndrome and am hoping this has some tips to help with symptoms. Erica |

I have this on hold at the Library. I actually have Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands on my nightstand which is also about Ukraine. I intend to start it when I get done with my current read Exit West by Mohsin Hamid. Nothing like some light reading (NOT!)

I admit I binge listened to Summerhaven and finished it in record time. If you like a good proper regency romance then I HIGHLY recommend it! The characters were good but not perfect, the story had substance, and there was a ton of chemistry. I felt super invested in the story. I really appreciate a good romance, and I think authors who can write it so well without relying on graphic scenes are especially talented.

Funny there are Gentleman in Moscow comments on this page. I was just coming here to post that I finished Middlemarch and have just come late to the party on A Gentleman in Moscow -- just starting it. I have a long distance friend who shares my love of reading (probably more of a reader than I am, honestly) and so we read Middlemarch "together" and every couple of weeks zoomed to talk about it. Decided we're going to do that with War and Peace but first we are doing some lighter reading with GiM. I would *never* read War and Peace on my own, so this will be interesting.....

So I watched the Hulu movie “Deep Water” with Ben Affleck and found out it was based on an older novel written by Patricia Highsmith. I bought a kindle version on Amazon that was definitely not the original! It looks like someone just “typed” it out, lol. All the text was underlined and it was full of typos. Anyway, I made it through.
The book was very dated and it seemed like all the characters did was smoke, drink alcohol, and have parties. It was published in 1957 and it ends much different than the movie. All in all, I actually liked the movie more (although that wasn’t great either).
