What book did you read outside of your usual preferences? Did you enjoy it?

Haven't finished it yet, but I am currently reading You Never Forget Your First by Alexis Coe. It's a biography on George Washington (I'm not a big historical biography person) and I chose it because it has a very catchy cover and I had seen some buzz about it. I really enjoyed the beginning where she talks about biographers themselves and how they shape our perspectives of history. As I haven't gotten too far, I'll have to report back later about if I enjoyed this overall.

That really does have a striking cover! Please do share where your reading takes you.

I am almost finished listening to Darling Rose Gold by debut author Stephanie Wrobel. The narrators are fabulous and are really channeling the characters but the story is DARK! A mother is convicted of Munchausen By Proxy. The story basically begins when she is let out of prison and the daughter brings her to live with her and her infant son. Very twisty story with very twisted characters!!!

This is a title we've been watching closely, so thank you for letting us know about the push-and-pull of its appeal, Denise! The hunger for twisty books (and, as you say, twisted characters) doesn't seem to be slowing down in the least. We'll keep this one in mind.
