I finally finished
Grace Under Fire by Julie Garwood.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I couldn’t finish nineteen minutes by Jodi piccoult, the maid (I can’t remember who it’s by), or the instinct (I also can’t remember who wrote this). I always try to give books at least 3 chapter - but I just couldn’t do it. They were too slow for me & were just too predictable. I was honestly so bored reading these books
The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams
Great title, cover and premise. Shoddy execution. Outlier review.

My Father's House by Joseph O'Connor
Based on an inspiring true story, but the writing style just wasn't my cup of tea.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I listened to
King's Ransom by Suzanne Brockmann.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Catherine Ryan Hyde is an automatic go-to author for many readers, but I wonder what they will make of A Different Kind of Gone. I think it's one that book clubs wll enjoy discussing.
My review of A Different Kind of Gone

The disappointment is always greater when a book about books fails to deliver.
