Denise is 60% done with The Astral Library
I'm going to DNF. Returning the book to Libro.fm. It's just not up to Kate Quinn standards. Moving on!!

This is okay. Is this a YA novel and I missed that designation?

Denise is starting Wuthering Heights
It’s been on my “100 Books to read before You Die” list, per the BBC but it never appealed to me. But now that there’s a movie out, and it’s being talked about, I am resigned to reading it. At least the Audiobook’s narrator is getting rave reviews. Let’s do this!

Almost done- and I’m a sucker for feisty older women who do what they want.

Denise is starting The Grey Wolf (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #19)
Halfway-ish in... and love the story and characters and location. I have been to Montreal and Quebec City and now I want to go back again (and maybe stay forever, frankly). I had to visit a wiki page on the characters to see their names spelled out - the narrator is excellent with accents but I'm not fluent :)

Denise is 50% done with Swan Song
This book has me looking up nuclear war destruction and radiation damage to humans. Because I need more things to worry about than our current political problems and hostile takeover by elon and trump and Putin and MAGA. I was actually hoping that asteroid would solve the problem in a few years, but it looks like that’s off the table now.

Denise is starting The Marriage Act (Dark Future, #4)
Yikes!! Creepy ass story but fully plausible with technology today and the nationalist, far right mindset growing. I’m traveling but can’t put it down…

Denise is finished with How My Neighbor Stole Christmas
Ugh... listening to the audiobook. The main character "Story" is annoying AF and the story is bland and trivial. I used the GoodReads Discover section to find a holiday book that was lighthearted and funny for book club but this is not funny and much too light in the plot. I'm probably going to send it back. Not sure how it got so many high ratings.

Denise is starting The Housemaid (The Housemaid, #1)
I started this last night and listened today on the way to the airport- and just have to say the decision to go to the broadway play then spend the night in NYC is NOT going to end well…. This book has captured my interest right away. Pretty much can’t wait to get back to listening!

Halfway through and it's so well written, and I can't put it down but it's soo so sad.

Denise is starting Coming Home
I read this to fall asleep…. Slow. Marginally interesting. I’ve read two or three other books while this has been a current read. I’ll finish but it’s not my fav Meissner.

Enjoyed this book a lot- if you like elder heroines (the brilliant life of Eudora honeyset, et al,) you’ll enjoy this one.

Denise is starting Middlesex
11 hours left... still plugging away at this. I do like the writing, the characters and the story. It's just a long haul. Audiobook - and paperback - for traveling. It's taking that long! lol

Denise is starting Demon Copperhead
Over halfway through the book and the shoe has dropped for for Demon. I can only see sadness and misery for this great kid. The writing is brilliant- this is my first novel by Kingsolver and there will be more on my list to read after this. My heart is aching.

I'm not getting into this book. It's killing me with boredom. Is it worth sticking it out???
