I read, Becoming, Educated, The Dutch House & American Dirt. 

 

I enjoyed all of them but American Dirt was the one that I just couldn't put down!

# 1, 4, 7 and 10.  Some of the other titles look good; I'll try to get to them.

I loved The Dutch House.  One of my favorites of 2020.

 

I have no desire to read Where The Crawdads Sing.

 

Did not finish American Dirt.  I'm always in the minority of disliking books that others rave about (see above Where The Crawdads Sing).

 

Got an ARC of Jojo Moyes The Giver of Stars too before it came out and decided to swap it for something I wanted to read.

 

I tried some of John Grisham's newer books and just can't get into them.  I loved his older books from the 80s though.  Nothing has compared to those.  The plots don't appeal to me anymore.

 

I seem to be in the minority of a lot of books that people love or the very popular ones. 

 

When I go on my FB book groups I think to myself it's deja vu all over again when I see the same books over and over again that I don't want to read or that people are reading that I don't.

Educated -- IMO, a highly overrated book.  I got about 1/3 through it.  Thought it was unbelievable.

 

The Dutch House -- liked this one.  Need to read more books by that author.

 

I like Baldacci and Grisham but haven't read these particular books yet.

 

DH is a big Lee Child fan.

The only book I read is "Where the Crawdads Sing." and thought it was overrated.

 

I did read an excerpt online from "Becoming" just to see what it was like. Not impressed and no desire to read the whole book.

Where the crawdads sing is the only one I read there. I wanted to read American Dirt, but never got the chance.

@lolakimono , thanks for posting.  I read some but not all.  I now had requested the ones I didn't read from my library.  Some good reading ahead!  S

 

PS, I am so bad with titles I had to check the storyline on some.  Hate that!
