Off-Topic Spring Reading

[Erica H.]

I don't do well with audiobooks but I would absolutely count them as books read!

I am almost done with The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles and like it a lot.

I can't remember the last time I checked in so here are some books I just finished:

The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward by Daniel H. Pink

Foreverland: On the Divine Tedium of Marriage by Heather Havrilesky

I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys (liked this one a lot)

Let's Get Physical: How Women Discovered Exercise and Reshaped the World
by Danielle Friedman

I just finished the latest Harlan Coben - Match. I love his style of writing. I put it on hold at the library and picked it up on Wednesday. I'm on spring break from teaching and was able to finish it in less than 48 hours!

I'm trying to patiently wait for the latest Cara Black book, and in the meantime am just getting started with Andy Weir's latest - Project Hail Mary. DH is listening to it on audio when he does his morning walk.

A month or so ago I binged the Joanna Schaffhausen Ellery Hathaway series. There are 5 books in the series so far. I loved it and hope she continues the story.

I was disappointed with the latest Nick Petrie. Not only was the story depressing, but he changed formats and alternated points of view with each chapter.

I was also pretty disappointed with the last installment of the David Baldacci Atlee Pine series.

I LOVED The Lincoln Highway. Then I read his A Gentleman in Moscow, and it was just okay.

LOL, I read A Gentleman in Moscow first (a while ago) and liked it better.

With The Lincoln Highway there are some things I absolutely love and others...not so much. He's a great writer.

Gams, I am 3/4 of the way through the book and so far it feels like a regular Reacher book written by Lee Child alone. Lee Child will be retiring from writing the Jack Reacher book series and handing it over to his brother Andrew Grant who will write further books of the series under the surname Child. They both will co-author the next few books together before Lee Child passes the series entirely over to Andrew.

The next Reacher book will be released in October 2022 and it will be co-written by Lee Child and his brother Andrew.

Erica, please post what you think about "Crying in H Mart" My son bought it but has not read it yet. He met the author a few years ago after she played at a tiny club in Philly.

I read this in college and thought it was particularly good. I recently finished The Mad Women's Ball by Victoria Mas and am now reading The Sentence by Louise Erdrich.

I finished Pride & Prejudice and really enjoyed it. My MIL also gave me Emma; I'll get to that after awhile.

I started reading the second Dean Koontz Jane Hawk book, The Whispering Room.
