Melanie is starting The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood

I never thought this could happen, but bored to tears. I don’t feel like I’m learning much about Chris at all. I love books with animals but sadly this didn’t work for me. Bummer.

Melanie is starting Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

DNF- if this is true, the people running Facebook were true monsters with no concern for people. I guess the money to be made allows this work environment. Horrible.

Melanie is starting King Sorrow

Sadly DNF. I read 30@ pages but just don’t have it in me to do another 500 pages. I’m not enjoying the story that much.

Melanie is starting One Summer in Savannah

DNF- a ridiculous story. I gave it 100 plus pages. I was reading it for a book group. I just can’t do it. A man who only spoke in verse? Lots of brilliance here!
