This book isn’t very good so I use it when I need something to put me to sleep.

Listening to this one. Cher reads most of it but her friend reads some parts.

I stayed up half the night reading this, so I guess you could say it’s good. Very gripping!

The audio book was available so I’m trying to listen to it while waiting for the kindle edition. I’m not a fan of the reader, so hopefully the kindle one will be available soon!

A retired couple is moving to an independent living facility on another planet. Sounds different! I’ll let you know how it is.

This one grabs you right from the start!

Despite what the blurb about this book says, it’s not light-hearted and it’s nothing like the Gilmore Girls (unless it makes a quick change in the last half of the book). It is a good mystery so far though.

It’s off to a good start!

I read over 200 pages and while it was ok I just wasn’t getting into it that much. There were nine people waiting on the Kindle edition I had, so I went ahead and returned it. Maybe I’ll return to it later, I don’t know.

Fifty pages in I’d had enough of the author going on and on about herself like she’s the best thing since sliced bread. I’d hoped for some interesting stories about her work with Obama, and some insight on what it’s like to work in the White House. Nope, instead she’s blathering on about tampons and diarrhea. Life’s too short for me to continue reading this book.

This is a collection of three stories about murders that involve Christmas scarves. The first is in Ireland, the second in Indiana.

Almost halfway through. It’s SO good!

So far I liking it.

So far the book is all written in first person. It doesn’t read as smoothly as “The Book of Names”, which made me feel like I was really there.

If you like to get right into the meat of the story without a lot of frills or details, you will like the style in which this book is written. Many of the paragraphs are more like lists than anything else. So far I'm enjoying it pretty well.
