I just finished The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty in 2 days. It was really good, too.

I though I had already posted that I read another Liane Moriarty book, Big Little Lies. Actually it was a re-read. I read it about a year ago. I didn't remember it. Not a good sign for my memory, huh? It was good. I tried to see if I could watch the tv show, but no. I would have to be a HBO subscriber. Too bad. I read young Sheldon played Ziggy. Would be interesting.

The audiobook version of Project Hail Mary is also fantastic, Denecee! Excellent narrator!

So did we! We also liked the audio of Long Journey to a Small Angry Planet - similar vibes, though much wider cast of characters.

Finished another Dollar General book. It was a murder mystery set in the world of dressage, which I knew nothing about. It has to do with horses is about all I know. It was pretty good. Oh,

Mother Daughter Murder Night by Nina Simon was a very entertaining mystery. It was Reese's book club selection for September. I didn't figure out the killer which is always a plus and the family dynamics were really fun and touching.

I just got my notice that a copy of Mother Daughter Murder Night is waiting for me so good to hear that you liked it Mamie.. The last two books I've read were part of a series by Jenny Colgan based on Little Beach Street Bakery. I've started the third in the series but it's getting a bit tedious. Overall it's a sweet series about a woman in her early thirties who loses everything from her long time boyfriend to their shared business to their condo. She heads off to a small village on the coast of Cornwall to heal and ends up finding a new life. Definitely not a serious book and so unrealistic in so many ways but I needed a break from life and it provided one.

Finally finished "Spare" by Prince Harry. It was good, but too long.

I agree about Spare. It was so long but I really felt for him.

Finished a Dollar General book, "The Bones of You" by Debbie Howells. It was a murder mystery with a twist at the end. It was pretty good. I guess I will borrow an ebook from the library next. I've been getting emails that I still have borrows left.

I am reading John Stamos' book and really enjoying it. I always say I should do audio for these memoirs and never do. I am sure it is great with him reading it. Have mercy!

Started reading a different ebook at first then it said I needed to verify my card and wouldn't let me borrow the book until I called and got the library to verify my card. The librarian said she didn't know why that happened. So I read "People We Meet On Vacation" by Emily Henry. It was okay. I don't think I really understood it. This woman thought she was in love with her best friend. Took forever to act on it.

Catching up - since Sept. 4 I've finished the following: Kindle: Solito, Extraordinary People (Peter May), Delilah Green Doesn't Care (Ashley Herring Blake), Mermaids Singing (Val McDermid), Things You Save in a Fire (Katherine Center), The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School (Sonora Reyes), Still Life (Val McDermid), A Silent Death (Peter May) Audio: Unprotected: A Memoir (Billy Porter), Weyward (Emilia Hart), Spare (Prince Harry), Homegoing (Yaa Gyasi), Making It So (Sir Patrick Stewart) Out of all them, the only one that I had parts I didn't like was Spare. Prince Harry came across as extremely entitled in spots, and I never need to hear another soldier story, thanks. Current audiobook: Clanlands New Zealand (Sam Heughan & Graham McTavish) Current Kindle: Melissa (Alex Gino) and Grave Reservations (Cherie Priest) Current deadtree: So Late in the Day (Claire Keegan)

I finished a few while on vacation. I read Henry Winkler's memoir. I enjoyed learning more about him. Love him. I read Thieves Gambit by Kayvion Lewis. It is a YA book about a contest for thieves and I have to say it may be one of my favorite books this year.

I finished "Lilac Girls" by Martha Hall Kelly. It was really good, based on true events during World War II.

And I finished that ebook I started a couple of weeks ago that they wouldn't let me finish till they verified my library card was still good. The Summer Place by Jennifer Weiner. It was good. Then I started a preview of another book by her called The Breakaway. I went back to borrow it and it said it was already taken. Seems that happens a lot. I think they get their wires crossed because I'm the one that's taken it.

Not catching up totally but just dropping by to say I just finished The Rose Code by Kate Quinn and it was FANTASTIC!!! It's about the British codebreakers in WWII and focuses on 3 women - who are all based on real life people (one who even dated Prince Philip!)

I finished "The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires" by Grady Hendrix. I thought it would be a light-hearted read but it got serious fast. Not to be read if you are squeamish.
