@LoriLori I did go to the site you posted on OTWW. I read a lot of his emails and he does say it will be a new cast of characters, with the same theme-adventure, romance, heartache, etc. It's just a question of whether I want to go back. I wanted to know what life with a ''red man'' would be like, and I pretty much found out. Of course another tribe could be completely different. He said probably by next fall it would be finished, published and as of yet is not revealing the title.

Abbalulu - that book The Little Shp of Happily Ever After sounded like a great storyline. I ordered it and am looking forward to reading it!

I was also disappointed in the direction the END OF WATCH took. I had been so looking forward to reading it because I enjoyed the first two books so much. I finished it for the same reason you did.
I'm now reading THE PASSENGER and loving it!

@skyblue oh I'm so happy you're enjoying it. This book got me "right out of the gate" as well. I literally couldn't stop reading it. When I wasn't reading, all I could do was think of getting back to it!
I bet you're going to finish it fast too. Enjoy!

Just finished PAST IMPERFECT by Julian Fellowes. It is about a wealthy man at the end of his life looking back at relationships. He gives an estranged friend a task of finding someone before he dies. I won't give the story away. Goodreads rates it 3.5 out of 5 and I would agree. Some of it was just too wordy for me so I skipped some pages from time to time. Not a raving review. LM

I'm reading Four Friends by Robyn Carr. It's the first book of hers that I've read and it's very good. I would call it women's fiction, the lives of four friends/neighbors. Will definitely be reading more of her books.

Just finished Shore House Slumming (the title says it all) by Carli Parker. Cute chick lit about a woman who finds a job in FL, ends up housesitting along the way since she has no place to live.
Onto Treyf by Elissa Altman (nf) that I won via Goodreads.

I read Hard Boiled Wonderland And The End of the World (Haruki Murakami). His books are fascinating, thought provoking and always a little baffling to me. This one is no exception. The chapters go back and forth between two stories. Are they the same story? When I read this again, I think I'll read every other chapter straight through and then go back and read the chapters I skipped. Murakami has numerous references to (and uses the slang of) American hard boiled detective fiction. A lot of it is quite funny.
I also read Chasing Darkness (Robert Crais), the last Elvis Cole for a while. It's a good book, but I miss the wise cracking "World's Greatest Detective." The next few books are all about Joe Pike.
I'm now reading the second in the Timothy Wilde series, Seven For A Secret (Lyndsay Faye). It's 1846 and the New York City Police Department is now 6 months old. Timothy Wilde discovers the corrupt practice of kidnapping free Northerners of color from their homes, masquerading them as slaves, and selling them to the South to work on plantations. Ms Faye has created a fascinating main character and a riveting story.

I just finished You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) by Felicia Day and The Isle of the Lost, by Melissa de la Cruz.
I am currently reading Return to the Isle of the Lost, by Melissa de la Cruz, and Think Like a Freak, a Freakonomics book by Steven D Levitt and Stephen J Dubner.
You're Never Weird on the Internet was a lot of fun. I really like Felicia Day and have followed her web series and YouTube channel for years. I listened to the audio book and it was fun to hear her read it herself. The Isle of the Lost was a cute book about the children of Disney's most famous villains. Their parents have been banished to the Isle of the Lost, a terrible place with no magic, and the kids are being raised there while the children of the heroes are all raised on Auradon, a happy fairy tale kingdom. The core story is about how kids of the most evil villains can choose their own destinies and, despite what they've been taught all their lives, don't have to be evil like their famous parents. It's a nice message that translates to kids in the real world who have parents who prioritize the wrong things or aren't the most attentive.
