I just finished Olive Kitteridge; I liked it overall but had some mixed feelings. It was more a collection of interrelated short stories than a true novel.

Beth I am halfway through Olive Kitteridge. I'm really enjoying it although some of it is sad.

Thanks for starting the new thread and posting the list of books. I can't believe it's June! There are several books on my wish list coming out this month.

I'm reading Nightwork by Nora Roberts, one of her better books I've read during recent history, and The Royal Governess by Wendy Holden, a story of Princess Elizabeth's childhood. Given that she's celebrating 70 years on the throne, it's interesting to learn some of her childhood. It's a fictional book that seems to be based on a lot of history.

I'm listening to Betwixt by Darynda Jones. It mostly gets on my nerves because I don't think it's very well written, but she's got a sense of humor, so I've kept going.

I just dumped two books because I hated them: Book Lovers and Very Nice. I rarely enjoy contemporary fiction and am going through a rough time and just couldn't get through either of these.

Now I'm reading Cilka's Journey (The Tattooist of Auschwitz #2) and like it. I recently read several memoirs as well and thought they were all good: North to Paradise, Lily's Promise: How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live, and Naomi Judd's memoir.

I just finished Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. Very good book with quite a surprise ending!

Has anyone read anything by Karin Slaughter?

My mom and I both tried to read First Grave on the Right and DNF'ed in spite of the humor.

So did I. Having Betwixt on audio is somewhat less irksome. Time will tell if I finish it or not.


Edited to add: I gave up on Betwixt. The writing style just isn't for me.
