A lot of people didn't like it, but I really enjoyed it.

I really liked both of these books. I’d love to see the movie version of Women Talking, what a great cast! I’m not sure who’d see it with me either, lol.

I just finished The It Girl by Ruth Ware. I loved it, couldn’t put it down!

Finished Daisy Jones & The Six. Eh, just ok. Had Almost Famous vibes, but not as good IMHO. Series comes out tomorrow 3/2 6pm central on Prime (at least it says so in my account, elsewhere says 3/3?). Not sure how they are going to make it into a 10 episode series, not that much happens in the book.

Started reading I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Sehee, a therapy memoir recommended by BTS.

That memoir looks really good. I just placed a hold on it at our library.

I wasn't crazy about Daisy Jones and The Six either.

Finished Rena's Promise: A Story of Sisters in Auschwitz. This was probably one of the best books I've ever read but definitely a difficult read due to the content.

I also just finished Foster, by Claire Keegan. Quick read and very thought-provoking for me.

I'm reading Spare, by Prince Harry. I'm not sure why since I really don't follow the royal family and I don't know how much is true. Maybe just because so many people I know have read it and liked it. Anyway, it's okay so far.

I am trying to read Daisy Jones and the Six but I am bored with it. I actually bought it in March of 2020! I will just watch the series.

Just finished both "Lost and Found in Paris" and "The Labyrinth of the Spirits". Enjoyed Paris but really loved Labyrinth -- part of the The Shadow of the Wind series -- I liked this better than Shadow. I still need to read the other two. Actually, I listened to both of these. The narrator for Labyrinth (and I think the same for Shadow) is really good!

Hmm, I will rethink getting Daisy Jones and the Six from the library!

I started The Testaments and like it so far - I am finding it a little slow, but I think I've gotten more impatient with my reading as I've gotten older.

I put that on my list - I tend to like books that you do.
