I read Bettyville a few weeks ago too. I loved it.

I just finished THE LOST WIFE - another WWII story but this is a love story. Wonderful book - gave it five stars at GOODREADS.

I am reading The Threshing Circle byNeil Grimmett. It is a mystery and takes place on Crete. The story is good and having lived in Greece, I love the setting. I can picture everything they talk about.

Hi judaline, I just took out Bettyville from my e-library. It was just sitting there waiting for me

I will start it as soon as I'm done with The Boston Girl, by Anita Diamant, which I'm loving.

SWEET it looks like I'm following you, reading the same ones you are. How rare is that?

Happy reading everyone!

Finding Jake by Bryan Reardon
***I'm very much enjoying the style of the book, however, please note that it is about a school shooting ~ certainly a most disturbing topic.

I'm pushing this up my list. I thought Shriver's We Need to Speak About Kevin was masterful.

I loved THE LOST WIFE, too, SAGAL!

I just finished Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. Looking forward to the next instillation in the trilogy.

Loved All I Know and Love. One of my favorites!

I finished The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo. While her basic method of decluttering is a little radical for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like how she states over and over again that we should only hold onto things that give us joy. There is a lot of Japanese culture in her book and I especially like how she respects all her possessions.

edited to add: there is an entire thread about this book in Community Chat for anyone interested.

I also read The Singer's Gun by Emily St. John Mandel. This is the third book I've read by this author and I'm so impressed by her. All the stories are vastly different but I can see the similarity in themes. She has one more I haven't read.
