Just finished No Rules by Sharon Dukett (nf) about a girl who leaves home at 16 in the 1970s to get away from her parents and hitchhikes everywhere looking for places to live and sleep. She meets a lot of people along the way, lives in youth hostels, the woods, takes drugs, hooks up with men etc etc. A very eye-opening, wild trip book. It made me dizzy with all the places she went to and lived and then eventually on a commune.
Onto The Dutch House by Ann Patchett which I've been wanting to read for a while.

I did something I rarely do. I PTB on The Vanishing (sorry can't find the author as I deleted it and can't find on goodreads either😩) with 90 pages left to read. It was recommended here I believe. It wasn't particularly good so I thought I just just let it go. It was about people with paranormal abilities.
Now on to The Red Lotus (Chris Bohjalian). LM

In my opinion, Mrs. Royce's first novel, "Finding Mrs. Ford", is very good. The characters are wonderfully drawn, the plot twists compelling and unpredictable-you won't be able to put it down. The outcome took me by surprise. I hope Mrs. Royce will write another novel soon.
@alliswell- I loved this book so much! I'm pretty sure I read it last year, and I couldn't go to sleep until I finished reading it. I will check to see if she's written any more books, as I'd love to read another one them.

I'm halfway through Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld, and I can't stop reading. The concept is a fictionalized account of Hillary's life, and how she dated and fell in love with Bill but broke up with him because he was a womanizer. It's now 20 years later and it's just so interesting. I'm loving it!!!!
I really want to read this one. I've enjoyed her others too if you havent' read any. This book had me intrigued the minute I saw the title.
@SWEET- I read An American Wife and loved it. I'm enjoying this one just as much. I haven't read any others although my friend loved Prep. I hope she writes another first lady novel. They're really great!

I think for this winter, I'll be reading some Hilary Mantel books, about past royalty. Wolf Hall is one of 3 so, I'm making my list.
I'm lining up some puzzles for this winter too. Guess I'll hunker down then. I hate that word too, "hunker!".

I've read American Wife, The Man Of My Dreams, and Sisterland. Still need to read Rodham and Eligible by her.

Last night I finished Have You Seen Me by Kate White. This book is so suspenseful. My mind kept trying to put the pieces together not knowing which characters could be a suspect in what happened to Ally Linden that explains the 2 days she has no memory of.. The ending was a total shock. I highly recommend this book.

I had two books on hold at the library, so I called and made my appointment for curbside pickup. Our virus numbers are climbing, so I am paranoid that they may shut down our libraries again. I currently have five books at home. Luckily, I do not have to read them all in two weeks. Most of the books that I read generally have plenty of renewals available.
