Colleen is 30% done with Change of Heart

This thing better get better. The main character has NO redeeming qualities, and it is excruciating to listen to.

Colleen is 45% done with Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections

I am really trying - but I just want to shout at the author. She seems very needy as a friend.

Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections

Colleen is 50% done with This Bird Has Flown

I'm questioning why I am pressing on when this is feeling very DNF. I'm disappointed with the reviews I read that made me think I had to read this. Meh. It's a big disappointment this far.

Colleen is 15% done with The Wedding Season

1 hr and 45 minutes in and she's still whining. I hope this gets better soon or it is going to be a DNF.

Colleen is on page 306 of 375 of Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald

I love that Zelda is no fan of Pauline Hemingway.
"...she'd made that bed for herself when she ended her single-girl-at-Vogue life while stealing another woman's husband."

Colleen is on page 190 of 375 of Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald

"Wait: if I leave it at that, it'll sounds like the novel's [Gatsby] disappointing performance is to blame for the disaster we made of our lives, and that's not really so. Ernest Hemingway is to blame."

Love it.
