Looking for good books.

‎06-16-2023 11:57 PM

Came here looking for some good reading.  Seems like most are reading mysteries which are not my cup of tea.  Finally found two I can't wait to check out at my next visit to the library.  1.  Cutting for Stone and 2. The Black Swan of Paris. Thank you so much for these two suggestions.

Here are some books that I've enjoyed lately. 

Pinapple Street by Jenny Jackson

Bookshop by the Bay by Pamela Kelly

Tell me everything a Memoir by Minka Kelly

Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld 

 

None of these are mysteries.
