Recent Books

Here's a quick chat about recent books.

This is a little mystery.  Kept me guessing and an easy read.  I'd give it a C+/B- grade.  Entertaining, but a little flat.

Easy read, but absolutely predictable.  By about 1/3 of the way through, I had the rest of the book figured out.  I kept reading in hope of a surprise twist, but nope.  If you need a fast read for a plane ride, but otherwise skip it.  I'd give it a C-.

Current read -- I'm almost halfway.  Recommended by a friend who's reading it for her bookclub.  I'm into this time period.  New money vs old money in NYC.  Based on historical tensions between some of the families.  So far -- solid B/B+.

I have 2 books arriving soon (used via Amazon).  We Are Okay (Nina LaCour) and Stay Close (Harlan Coban).

That's it in a nutshell.  Sticking to easy reads with nothing serious that hits close to home in this current state of affairs (political, pandemic, etc).  Real life feels heavy so I'm looking for escape reading.

Today I'm headed for an outside lunch with a friend.  Almost 70 by this afternoon.  Next week is a little cooler again, but spring will be in ATL very soon.  Then I'm dropping those cookies off to the kids.  Bought them to share.  I might freeze one or two for me for later, but since hormones have me all messed up, I'm keeping strictly off gluten right now.  Finishing off with a few more errands -- dog related.  It's a full day, but not busy.

Hope you have a good end to the week.  Stay well.  Later gators.
