- It All Makes Sense Now
Loved it. Watching Andre play tennis in his "bad boy" era was part joy, part frustration. As a viewer, it always seemed as though the tantrums and drama were all part of the show. Apparently, not so much. There was a lot going on under his much talked-about hair. "Tiger Moms" get all the attention (and derision) but dads can be just as formidable. His story is fascinating, tragic, redemptive and sweet. Loved his candor, courage and forgiveness.
- Like Salted Caramel
This book takes you to unexpected places through the eyes of Lee, the girl obsessed with Laura Ingalls Wilder. Loved the writing, but I didn't always love the main character. Just like real life, I guess.
- Silly and Fun
This lighthearted mystery is quirky and cute. A good quick read, PLUS, you'll learn something about that speed walking hobby you've been wanting to undertake. Who knew it was around in the 1800s? I guess people have always needed to get to the bathroom quickly, and there you go. Hopefully.
- I Keep Asking Myself That Question
Not a lot of real info here, but a satisfying condemnation of "that" election.
- In a Word, No
Interesting, but there's a lot of wading through studies to get to the crux of the matter. I felt like I had to read it with my lab coat on. Skim unless you're into that sort of thing. The studies, I meant. Not the lab coat. Unless that's your thing, of course.
- Another Americana Gem
If you want to get away from the s#@t on the news and just enjoy the day, dive into a Fannie Flagg book and you will be delivered. That woman could write about garbage day and make it nostalgic. Here's another of her warm baths, as lovely and sweet as can be. F. F. comes through again.
- From Elephants to Horses, She's Still Got It
This moves along nicely, keeping one invested. I try not to compare, but inevitably do. Maybe if you're a horsy person, this one will be your favorite. I guess I relate to the wrinkly-skinned ones myself. Still, a great read.
- Thank You, Michelle
Well, as we all know now, the Golden State Killer has been found, caught, and is cooling his heels in prison while still plying his psychopathic trade. I was fascinated by this story, as his spree began in my hometown. Michelle's obsession was probably part of a larger force that kept momentum going and ultimately resulted in his capture, but the fact that Joseph DeAngelo had been arrested when I read the book rendered the theories listless and moot. Not her fault at all, just how it goes. And, of course, now she's gone. Rest in peace, Michelle, and know that you had a part in catching this monster.
- Maybe Stick to Short Stories?
I was so looking forward to this as another potential dystopian masterpiece a la the unforgettable The Handmaid's Tale. While the writing is good, the plot revs and revs, only to flop disappointingly at the end.
- Remarkably Similar to The Other Golden Rule
Oh, Tim. After watching him on countless seasons of Project Runway, with his classy yet dorky persona, I was intrigued to learn more about the man behind the debonair face. How can someone so handsome and poised also be so approachable? Yet that's how he always seemed on the show. Well, he's all that and more. After reading this book, I want to be his friend, neighbor, door person, or driver. It's pretty darned impressive that someone with that kind of star power maintains such a strong desire to just be a nice person. He's the real deal. Sigh.
- Worth Looking
This story isn't completely implausible, given the era in which it is set. It's thought-provoking, and if we're completely honest, one wonders what we would have done in each of the characters' positions. Although there are times when you want to scream at the person on the page, there is warmth.
- A Great Book . . . for Starting a Campfire
Insufferably self-absorbed. Pointless. Hated it.
