Bee- I have less patience for slow moving fiction right now, so I am enjoying psychological suspense.
I will start the book "Other People's Houses" by Abbi Waxman soon. I loved her first book "The Garden of Small Beginnings" so I am eager to read this one.

I read Two Kinds of Truth, a Harry Bosch book. Now, I'm reading Pebble Cove by Mairead O'Driscoll and How to Find Love in a Bookshop by Veronica Henry.

Did anyone read the British book "I Don't Know How She Does It?" Apparently the author wrote a follow up with her kids as teenagers.
How Hard Can It Be?: A Novel Hardcover – June 5, 2018 by Allison Pearson (Author) I would likely ask my library to order it . I vaguely remember the first book and I think I liked it. Laura, how is "Finding Love in a Bookshop?" I think I had that on my list of books I want to read

If you like British writers,please check the site Bookouture. I belong to their Facebook feed. They offer a ton of kindle books for 99 cents or a little higher.
They offer fiction and psychological suspense.

I finished listening to The Giver last night, and... wow. Still processing, but what an amazing read. The stripped down writing style made for a great audio experience, even though I wasn't a big fan of Ron Rifkin as a reader.
After that emotional ride, I am crawling back into the warm, cozy comfort of Jenny Colgan with Christmas at the Little Beach Street Bakery In my magical baking book binge, I'd also picked up another middle grade called Bliss by Kathryn Littlewood at the library, but it got too silly for me and I DNF'ed.

Kate, I agree with you on the Giver. I thought it was one of the better dystopian novels out there, ever if young adult. On the other hand, I was underwhelmed by the Maiden's Handbook, good concept, ahead of its time, but probably the least impressive book Atwood has written.
