next genre up - Romance
Wuthering Heights - Bronte
A Calling for Charlie Barnes - Josh Ferris
iāve liked his prior books. so far so good
Listening to it now.
Let Them Theory is redundant chapter after chapter. It is getting tougher reading another chapter as she just gives another example of the same thing. Letting them is something I should do a lot of. It has a powerful message that will help make me a better person.
Just got āWhere are all the customerās yachts?ā Originally published in 1940 itās a humorous look at the misbehavior of stockbrokers.

I finished We Solve Murders, by Richard Osman. It was entertaining. Like the Thursday Murder Club books, it was light and had to do as much with the characters as with the crime solving. It brings together an odd set of people working to solve some murders - a bodyguard who protects famous people, her mild, conservative, and set-in-his-ways father-in-law, and a famous, rather wild, fairly old writer who was being protected by the bodyguard.
Just finished State of Wonder by Ann Patchett, and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to reading more of her work.
Just finished Food for Thought: Essays and Ruminations by Alton Brown, the Food Network star, and one of my favorite celebrity āchefsā. I put that in quotes as he addresses the idea of āchefsā and how some insist on being addressed as such. Very entertaining read!
Sounds good.
His recipes are easy to follow, at least the ones I choose.
The āGood Eatsā shows are great and are on Max at the Moā. Watched the tenderloin ep last weekend.
I donāt watch food competition shows, though.

Just read Wellness by Nathan Hill. Started off slow and I skipped some pages, but the rest was good. Learned a lot even though itās fiction. It kind of reminded me of Babbitt in some ways. Not sure if that was on purpose by the author.
At one point, he mentioned a character learned that juice fasts were discredited because people got the same results with fasting, drinking sugar water, and eating a multivitamin, and I was thinkingā¦ wellā¦ maybe itās not that juice fasts should be discredited but that you can do it the other way too.
Just not as expensive. Why waste the money.
next genre upā¦ Science Fiction / dystopian
going on vacation, so want something of good length, but not a heavy hard cover, so going through the shelves, settled on Divergent - Roth
Started Michelle Obamaās auto-b.
and i discovered i never saw the movie.
Just finished her 19th novel, The Grey Wolf. Not as good as A World of Curiosities but still very good. Penny fans will enjoy it. Looking forward to reading my 20th Penny novel when Black Wolf comes out.
Just started Mort (Discworld series) yesterday. I didnāt love the other Discworld I read, but my brother keeps telling me to give them another try.
I think Iām going to bail on Death Comes for the Archbishop which doesnāt seem to be going anywhere.
Have I not posted here in the past year? Wow.
Currently in the middle of The Drawing of the Three, Stephen King, (The Dark Tower book 2)
