Yay! So many great looking books; some on my tbr and only 1 read.

I actually liked Roadwork. I know many did not, though.

So proud of you, Alissa!!

Lea (leaspot) | 3629 comments Love your list! You know how to make a challenge! The only one I've read is Demon Copperhead which I liked. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about all of these books. I already have quite a few on my TBR.

Ioana | 2122 comments Yay, another list, I love it. Love Anthony and Demon Copperhead are both very good, I've enjoyed them a lot. I'm on the waiting list for My Friends, and I've heard good things about it, plus that you need tissues. Happy reading, I can't wait to hear more about the other books.

Alissa Patrick (apatrick12211) | 1802 comments Completed my 1st book off my 3rd list!

The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood

The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood

3.5 STARS
Audiobook

A silly little book about getting a second chance at life to find your soulmate. This is SO Hallmark coded and it was just what I was looking for in a cheesy but sweet romance book.

Alissa Patrick (apatrick12211) | 1802 comments Completed Love Anthony by Lisa Genova

Love Anthony by Lisa Genova

3 STARS
Ebook

I read this for my virtual book club. While I didn't love this one as much as I love her previous works ( Still Alice by Lisa Genova ) this one still pulled at my heartstrings. This is the most accurate rendition of a child with autism that I've ever read.

Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng by Kylie Lee Baker

3.5 STARS
Book

This book was gross. And sad. and also kind of funny?! lol
Basically, this is the story of the very beginning of Covid and how Asian Americans were talked to, treated and dealt with in NYC.

While this is very much a horror novel, this also had a blatant view/ social commentary on this topic and I really enjoyed it! Perfect for fall/ Halloween
