What are you reading that is not autobiography, biography or memoir?

My current read is a self-help; Good Energy by Casey Means. Really enjoying it but slowly because it’s lots to take in.

I'm reading a y/a Christian dystopian trilogy. Two stars to the first one, but I read another 2 star reviewer who went on to like the other two better, so. I'm currently reading the second one that is definitely better written than the first (it'll get a three star like from me, which is better than 2!) It's called A Time to Speak by Nadine Brandes. Ideally the third one will be the best.

I'm at the point where I'm not interested in impossible fictional tech most of the time which partly affecting my rating.

I just finished Truly by Lionel Ritchie. It covered his whole life, not just the music. I’m 59 y/o r&b fan so very familiar with the music and absolutely loved this book.

I was wowed by Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence. It explains so very much of what is going on in the world. 5 stars, would reccy to anyone who knows how to read

Something to Look Forward To: Fictions by Fannie Flagg
3 stars


Going into this, I did not read what the book was supposed to be about. After a while, I thought that the characters must tie together somehow. That was when I read the book blurb and found out each chapter was a stand-alone short story. Usually, Fannie Flagg has incredible insight into the lives of rural characters but sometimes she gets a little crazy, like having her characters reincarnated as insects and animals or a Mork and Mindy like space guy. There were points in this book that I really liked but I would have liked it better if the stories tied together in some way and leave out the crazy parts.

Greatly enjoying The Best American Crime Writing: 2003 Edition: The Year's Best True Crime Reporting.

A Life on Our Planet: My Witness Statement and a Vision for the Future by David Attenborough
5 stars


I wish everyone would read this book and take it to heart. This is a history of our environment and what we have done to harm our planet and what we need to do to save it. David Attenborough is 99 years old now. We need more people to take his place if we are to save the planet for our grandchildren and beyond.

I just finished The Nature of Fragile Things. Great historical fiction about the strength of women through times of impossible difficulties. Narrator is fantastic. 5/5 for me

Animal, Vegetable, Junk: A History of Food, from Sustainable to Suicidal: A Food Science Nutrition History Book by Mark Bittman


Read this 5 years ago and decided to read it again. As you might guess, if food isn't in it's pure, unadulterated state it probably is not good for us.

Yes, so true! For years I've primarily shopped in the outer circle of stores, but even then we have to be sharp and read labels, especially, but not only, in the dairy section..
