Just finished The Huntress by Kate Quinn...author of The Alice Network.  I LOVED this book and did not want it to end.  Great historical fiction about WWII.

Started The Gown by Jennifer Robson this morning and it looks like a great read also!!!

"Confessions of a Prayer Slacker"  by Diane Moody.

Needed an easy book to read while on a road trip (No, I wasn't driving. )

I wasn't sure if it would keep my interest, but it was a freebie so figured I'd give it a shot. Turns out, I really liked it.  I loved Diane's humor, but she also made some comments

that will stick with me.

I read The Department of Sensitive Crimes, the first in a new series by Alexander McCall Smith.  I especially enjoyed one of the cases that was mostly a comedy of errors.  And there is the usual Alexander McCall Smith gentle philosophy and thoughtfulness on everyday things.

Now I'm re-reading The Crossing Places, in preparation for Elly Griffiths new book, The Stone Circle.

Put Stephen King in the corner while I read

Frederik Backman's Things My Son Needs to Know About the World

which was published yesterday.  It's funny, it's tender, I'm going to gift it to every new parent from now on and you don't have to be a parent.  The review I read compared it to stand-up only stand-up doesn't have love and heart and sweetness like this book of short musings does.

@teganslaw , thanks for the recommendation.  I have read that and agree it’s a good one!  Maybe I will look for something else by him!  LM

@Lilysmom . His other books are really good, but not as good as The Kind Worth Killing......I read recently a really good one called, I let You Go, by Clare Mackinstosh-very good.........The Ending was a real shocker.....

I am reading My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing.

All I can say is WOW!  Not sure how I feel about this one; it is totally different from anything else I have read.  Very creepy!

Is that by Patti Callahan Henry?  If so, I won mine through Gooreads too and thought the book was good but there was no happiness.  I thought the whole book was sad!
