Thanks for posting that. I'm glad to see some books from my wish list on that list!

I binge-read Stephen King's Billy Summers for the blizzard. Interesting twists. I couldn't put it down and without giving anything away, if you read it enjoy the "cameo appearance."

Looking forward to it!

I just started a book that's been on my shelf for a long time, Autobiography of a Yogi.

I'm reading Midnight in Chernobyl, a non-fiction book about the nuclear disaster. It's a surprisingly good read. It certainly explains how the disaster was almost inevitable given the Soviet system and how they handled their nuclear reactors. I've just gotten to the beginning of the day of the disaster, so I know some grim reading is coming.

I'm reading Dopamine Nation, Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence by Anna Lembke, M.D. I am also reading A Walk Around the Block: Stoplight Secrets, Mischievous Squirrels, Manhole Mysteries & Other Stuff You See Every Day (And Know Nothing About) by Spike Carlsen.

Did anyone actually finish Liane Moriarty's "Apples Never Fall?" I waited so long to get it on reserve from the library, and it is really dragging. I am glad I did not buy it. I may give up on it and read the end.

I've still only read The Hypnotist's Love Story and The Husband's Secret. I liked both but really loved the first. I've heard her books tend to be a mixed bag; does anyone have a *love* by her that I should try next?
