YOU GUYS. I was too sick to READ! November was TERRIBLE.
But! The books I did manage to plow through were great. Here they are from worst to best:
Leather and Lark by Brynne Weaver: This series is not for me. I did not like the first one, but I tried again, and it is still a nope. **2024 **Audio
One by One by Freida McFadden: We've talked before about how I love her terrible books, yes? They're so terrible but in her real life she's a brain surgeon, and I am fascinated. **Audio
The Life Impossible by Matt Haig: This was weird, even for him. **2024
Playground by Richard Powers: I really wanted to love this, but I only just liked it. **2024
Intermezzo by Sally Rooney: I liked this one a lot, but I always think I am not quite smart enough to appreciate her all the way. **2024
Someone in the Attic by Andrea Mara: SO SCARY OMG. I had to stop reading it when Ben was gone. **2024
The Blue Bistro by Elin Hilderbrand: I haven't read ALL of her books. YET. **Audio
Sandwich by Catherine Newman: A charming delight of a book. **2024
A Reason to See You Again by Jami Attenberg: I loved Attenberg and think everyone else should, too. **2024
Headshot by Rita Bullwinkel: This is FANTASTIC and a really quick read but not necessarily light-- about girl boxers. I loved how the authored narrowed and widened her lens-- reminded me of Tommy Orange in that way. **2024
Colored Television by Danzy Senna: This book is GREAT-- family drama plus Hollywood drama plus race, class, and gender critique-- loved it. **2024
The Grey Wolf by Louise Penny: The 19th Gamache book did not disappoint. I really SAVORED this one because a new Louise Penny is a treat. **Audio **2024
