@Yardlie welcome to our book place! I hope you'll enjoy and come back often.

Regarding Gone Girl, I read the book and was greatly disappointed after all the hype about it. I really disliked the characters, and didn't care what happened to any of them. 

I just don't understand what I missed, since so many people seem to love it. It seems to be the book all comparisons are made of, and I don't get it. When I read that a new book is another Gone Girl, I know to stay away.

I didn't watch the movie for obvious reasons lol

Come back soon!

A Man Called Ove, author Frederik Hackman, it is about a 57 year old man that to the outside world appears to be grumpy & bitter, but when he is introduced to unforgettable characters in his neighborhood who are able to bring out a side of him that he rarely shows to anyone, we see a character transformed into a big teddy bear, it will bring the reader to outbursts of laughter, tears and a forever tugging of the heart!

My review is probably too late but I just finished reading this book and I loved it, it reminded me of a man that I call a dear friend who is so much like this character that I smiled, cried, and when I read the last page and closed the book I knew that this character is one that I will carry in my heart for a very long time!

@DukeBlueNan I literally could not put that book down, I really enjoyed it!

I am halfway through DYING FOR CHRISTMAS by TAMMY COHEN.  I love to read Christmas novels at this time of the year as well as watch Christmas Hallmark/Lifetime movies; truly puts me into the spirit!  This one is a psychological thriller & what a page-turner!  I will then indulge in some Christmas cozy mysteries after I am done to tone things down, lol.

I finished Nutshell (Ian McEwan). I have to say the writing is brilliant.  I didn't love it, though.  Maybe too gimicky.

I also finished, and enjoyed, The Last Mile (David Baldacci).  I hope there will be more in the Amos Decker series.

I am in the middle of The Chemist by Stephenie Meyers.  It's intriguing.  I am not sure where it is going.  I've had a few surprises along the way.
