I am not starting this yet. It's the second book in a series I didn't start and I can't get the site to reflect that.

I needed a break, after the impeachement, the SOTU, and the endless tweets! I will be so glad to see Trump go.

Really good so far. Anthony Bourdain was such a good author. He did a lot of research for this book. Because Mary was a cook, he empathizes about her plight, because she didn't have to be hunted like an animal. She could have been given a job in a different field. But people still didn't understand that a person who didn't look sick could still be a carrier of disease back then. She was shamelessly pursued.

A group of different psychologists discussing Trump's mental health. I only read one chapter so far.

So far it's info I know, but I am Pagan and have Celtic heritage, so am enjoying it.

Lizzy's husband Tyler is too involved in his work (and possibly affairs) to go on the month long 20th anniversary his wife has been planning for a year. So she goes on it herself.

Ty's so busy with his legal career, and turning their college aged daughter against Lizzy, he is a snake. Without Lizzy, who he deems does little, he can't even work the coffeemaker. I hope she falls in love and leaves the jerk!

Just began, but have high hopes!

Just beginning tonight, 1/16/17.

Getting there. Jefferson is a fascinating person. There's a lot to take in.

He led an interesting life, but it's long, so I'm reading it little by little in between other books.

Even after all these years, there is no doubt OJ was guilty. Many didn't want the football icon to be guilty. Black people didn't want him to be guilty either. So they ignored or "lost" evidence. Really good evidence.

Studying this for a seminar I'm taking in two weeks.

Some really good stories here. A few repeats I've seen before.

Just read a few chapters, it's very interesting so far.

David Lagercrantz is doing a great job with Steig Laarson's work. All the favorite characters are back, and the plot is a good one. I believe the original author wanted a series of 10 books, and Lagercrantz is feeling the moods and understanding the old characters, also adding some new ones.

Never got to this one yet!

Having trouble with this one. Too many characters, and not enough description to tell what clan or group they are from. Might return it.

Just beginning an expanded version.

Wanted to read from Christian's POV. Don't understand the furor, in the end it was just a love story with a predictable ending. Except for Christian finally finding he was worthy of love.

Fell in love with these stories about Nantucket. It's pure escapism, but after so much Diana Gabaldon, I need something mindless.
