Books on the Nightstand discussion

Let's see, in the car I'm listening to Deep Undercover: My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances as a KGB Spy in America and on my iPad, I'm about to start listening to Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body.
Also on my iPad, I'm reading Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History and I have fewer than 100 pages to go in Glory and the Lightning

I am reading . It's an incredible story, and I think I'm going to go back and be the last person alive to read her debut, Everything I Never Told You.

I also hope to start reading soon for the start of my Presidential biography reading.

Hopefully the weather will cool down after this weekend and feel more like fall. Happy reading friends:-)

I finished Eliza and Her Monsters and have started on When Dimple Met Rishi.

I think I'm in a YA contemporary romance kind of mood.

Just finished "Little Fires Everywhere" and loved it. The author's simple practice of calling Elena Richardson - "Mrs. Richardson" - instead of by her first name contributed so much to the character she was creating.

I hadn't thought twice about that! Excellent point! Made her character seem even more stoic and reserved in comparison to Mia.

Finished by Elena Ferrante-- 1 star.

I did not enjoy this one, the real question is-- should I give the second book a chance? Or bypass the rest of this series?

Finally finished Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History. It was an easy read, but it shouldn't have taken as long as it did.

I have finished by Michelle Frances

Just finished ; now reading (wow . . )

Listened to Black Beauty and now listening to Half of a Yellow Sun and started reading Rabbit Hill. Obviously I'm going through my second (at least) childhood.

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

I've always said, that I've never decided to grow up, C. John.

Finished by Tracy Chevalier -- 3 Stars.

Good, but fell a little flat for me.

Just finished Swimming Lessons by Claire Fuller; very well written, if a bit depressing. Has anyone else here read it? Before the Fall by Noah Hawley is next.

Started reading Circe and I'm listening to John Adams

Finished by Kristin Hannah-- 3 Stars.

A good way to take a break from some tougher books.

Have you ever read anything by Ben Macintyre like [book:A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal?

Now reading The Great Train Robbery. I have had this on my shelf and I decided to read something that I could be really interested in and is a entertaining read.

I’ve been on vacation for much of October and, though I took along a well-stocked Kindle, I didn’t read a thing! Too busy touring southern Italy. :)

I’m now listening to Brian Greene’s Light Falls and slogging through Michael Dirda’s Browsings: A Year of Reading, Collecting and Living with Books (not as interesting as the title sounds). I'm also currently reading The Best American Poetry 2017. Before vacation, I read Dani Shapiro’s Devotion: A Memoir (just okay — but I’m not into spiritual quests). I’d recently read her memoir, Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage, which I liked a lot. I now need an engrossing novel. I see that several people are reading or have recently read, Little Fires Everywhere. I loved it, too!
