for young adults and i thought i could try being one :-)

interesting buildup. An artist from the north in the south.....enjoying southern charm ? What if you knew the artist was in prison not too long ago ....

interesting story of the life of the FBI chief who was unceremoniously fired. Still trying to figure out why he wrote this book. So far it is interesting.

am i reading the present or the past..it's uncanny....

interesting back story for the book. First you had the pedophilia scandals and subsequent cover-ups within the Catholic Church brought out by Spotlight. And now a fictionalized version of the Dozier School for Boys, dubbed Nickel Academy. a juvenile reformatory operated by the state of Florida where you have similar to worse abuse.

Half way through the book. A very different style, a very distinct style of writing. Liking what i am reading so far. Engaging.

the book as well as the movie. pretty good.

Spain is an interesting country and Hemingway has captured it well.

why do i feel i am reading a John Steinbeck book as i read this book...is it because Ernest Hemingway writes a lot like Steinbeck or is the other way around or just the time this was written in.

interesting book with interesting facts which is contrary to what you were taught at school. So far the most interesting fact was how the first person to fly a plane was not the Wright brothers but a resident of Connecticut.

an in-depth look at the war in Afghanistan to liberate the country from the Russians.

Good book. I am finding the story more realistic than The Giver of Stars

by Jojo Moyes which I had read recently. ..

excellent book. a story about the Irish uprising in northern Ireland and the life of the young revolutionary leaders willing to risk everything for a united Ireland. As the story is told you realize that the Irish have suffered a lot at the hands of the British. ..

excellent book. very engaging.

The author does a good job of marrying the past and the present in two separate narrative. The narrative of the grandmother who fled cuba under Fidel and the narrative of the granddaughter who comes to cuba after Fidel dies. Very well written. ….

interesting story of life in cuba (spelt kooba..learn something new every day :-) ..) during the revolution...

very well written and engaging...didn't realize the movie me before you was based on another novel written by this author...

a book about travelling librarians on horses in Kentucky ...appears the concept was taken from another book by Kim Michele Richardson - the book woman of troublesome creek. Well I have put that down to my read me list as well and will see if I can figure out who stole from whom :-).

Interesting first hand account of a sniper in Iraq. The facts on the ground and the facts told by the media....

I usually am not a big fan of autobiographies however this one is different. Extremely interesting, fast paced and takes you around the world from Panama to Iran to Indonesia and on the way you learn about US interest in that part of the world. Unfortunately the truth is not necessarily what you expected...

An unhinged view of America's role in the world from a EHM - economic hit man...reminds me of another book about dark money by Jane Mayer which I read sometime back...

Picked up another of Annie Jacobsen's book. What do we have here...recruitment of Nazis by the US government to learn their secrets...how many Americans know that ? Loving this book already however I have a long way to go. It's been a bit of a yo-yo reading for me. I read something, cant believe this actually happened ...go back and re-read.
