Book Club

I mentioned this in another thread.  I just read Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson.  It's about a 26 year old woman who gets attacked with a hammer and is left with a serious brain injury.  She is given the choice for a very risky surgery (10% chance of success) or she will have an aneurysm in 7 days.  She oppts for the 2nd choice to use the time to find her would be killer.  A little out the ordinary.

Nicola Harrison's The Island Club was a good women's fiction book set in 1956 in FL about 3 women living in the same small town and their lives.

I was trying to post this yesterday when I finished but I kept getting a error to get into the forums.  No idea what's going on but it's happening more and more lately.  Anyone else?  Not sure if QVC was working on the fourms or what. The website always works.

My Beloved, by Jan Karon.  The 15th novel in the The Mitford Series.  A love letter from Father Tim to his beloved Cynthia for Christmas comes up missing before he can give it to her.  Where is it and how many hands as it passed through?

I finished Don't Forget to Write by Sara Goodman Confino. I would describe it as a breezy beach read.

I finished The Loyal Wife, by Natalie Barelli, it was a pretty good read, although I really didn't care for any of the characters, and I felt it could have been wrapped up sooner....... I like Natalie's books, but this one was just ok.

I am now reading The Broken Vows by Daniel Hurst, starts off really good!!!!!

I read The Breakdown a thriller by B.A.Paris.

Christmas on the Island by Jenny Colgan.

Moonlight Over Manhattan by Sarah Morgan which was a romance between a dog walker and a doctor. 

One Big Happy Family by Susan Mallery- a family get together over the Christmas holidays grows bigger with the addition of several unexpected guests.

The Grand Design by Joy Callaway was just an ok book for me.

I just finished We Are All Guilty Here by Karin Slaughter.  I like police procedurals but this one was so slow, probably because there was so much emphasis on the family drama.  This is my first book by Karin Slaughter, and if this book is typical, she is just not for me.  I'm clearly in the minority as this book is rated 4.25 stars on Goodreads.

This is just the kind of book I don't want to read-thanks for the warning.

I read all her books and sometimes I do wonder why they can be frightening.  The above book was one of my favorites and I flew through it.  I told my local librarians if Karin and Stephen King ever collaborated together I would be awake for a month.
