Susan Sharp is 10% done with You Dreamed of Empires

I've barely started this book, and yet I already love it. It is filling the hole for well-researched, incredibly human palace intrigue histories left by Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell trilogy. Plus, the descriptions of pre-Hispanic foods are incredible.

Susan Sharp is 50% done with The Body: A Guide for Occupants

It's possible I don't actually care about the body. Trying hard to stop my DNF streak, but I'm finding it difficult to commit to books right now.

Susan Sharp is 50% done with The House of Mirth

It's time to admit that it's time Ms. Wharton and I part ways. My modern sensibilities find reading her prose an arduous task.

Susan Sharp is 75% done with Tastes Like War

This is an incredible book to read in the context of Goodreads, where the top reviews are by the author's brother and sister-in-law, who dispute several events recounted in the memoir.

Susan Sharp is 5% done with Yellowface

LMAO I thought this was the book about Yellowface in The Nutcracker and was happy, but confused about it being part of Reese's book club and the super long hold times at the library. Now that I know it is an RF Kuang novel, I'm braced for something more excruciating.

Susan Sharp is 54% done with Widen the Window: Training Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Trauma

Struggling to finish this as it's so, so long when the content could have been a captivating and practical ~120-page book.

Susan Sharp is 60% done with Open

The problem is that it turns out I don't really like Andre.

Susan Sharp is 15% done with Harry Potter y el prisionero de Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3)

This is from the library and is helping me remember Spanish because it is a familiar story that is written for children. I'm done buying products that benefit the author.

Susan Sharp is 58% done with Fairy Tale

Stuff is starting to happen, but I'm still confused how this book has so much hype and such high sales.

Susan Sharp is 18% done with Fairy Tale

...so, I'm a fair bit into this book and *just* read the synopsis. This sure sounds like a good book, according to the summary. I've been pretty bored so far. Wonder when the fantasy will kick in.

Already completely enamored.

Susan Sharp is 75% done with Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don't Know

Really struggling to finish this one. The Brock Turner chapter was incredibly insensitive. I like the Janelle Monet breaks between chapters.

Susan Sharp is 41% done with The Book of Magic (Practical Magic, #2)

I got a special "one week only!" loan from the library and I didn't finish on time and now I am on a four week hold. Hate it when this happens with books I'm enjoying!

Susan Sharp is 60% done with Eat, Pray, Love

Italy chapters were good. India chapters were cringe. Couldn't finish Bali before the loan from the library expired.

Susan Sharp is 14% done with Eat, Pray, Love

This was a DNF for me a dozen years or so ago. I wonder if I'll like it more now that I'm approximately the same age as the author when she wrote it. I also no longer care if things I enjoy are uncool and have an easier time celebrating other's good fortune. We'll see!

Susan Sharp is on page 70 of 192 of Canyons

If you can believe it, my childhood recollections of this book were only mostly right. Apache boy is mysterious and cool (recollection was right). White boy is contemporary and boring (recollection was right), but he was possibly neglected, clearly bullied, and generally vulnerable due to circumstances outside his control. So I can't really say he sucks (recollection was wrong). Also...no memory transfers yet.
