A bit mystery, occasionally steamy…and steampunk. Werewolves and vampires, too, lol. All bases covered.

(Moving my earlier post over from the fall thread…)

I just finished Taste My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci. He’s a little arrogant and bit of a name dropper, but it was a very good entertaining read.

I just started Jodi Picoult's newest book. I'll update later. The title is "Wish you Were Here."

Sherry, I've never read anything by Jodi Picoult. Do you recommend a particular book to start with her?

I just finished "We Begin At The End" by Chris Whitaker. Very enjoyable read. I will read more books by Chris.
Currently reading "Survive The Night" by Riley Sager. I wasn't going to read this one but now it's getting some good reviews on Good Reads so I decided to give it a whirl. So far I'm enjoying even though you really need to suspend your disbelief on this one. Scary stuff is my favorite jam.

I am 6 weeks post-op and am lying on the couch 24/7 and thought I'd get SO much reading done after the holidays but I got a concussion the day before my dd went back to college and haven't read a word. I am so disappointed - I have a huge stack of books here that I was so excited about reading.

I'm reading The Husbands by Chandler Baker. Which is described as a reverse Stepford Wives.
Reviews are equally split, seems people either love it or hate it. Books & movies that draw such strong emotion tend to be good IMHO, we'll see, I'm not that far into it.

I finished The Pessimists by Bethany Ball and now I'm reading her first book, What to Do About the Solomons.
