What book are you reading or recently read?

Taraji P. Henson
Around The Way Girl

Such an emotional retelling of her life experiences while climbing ( and clawing ) her way into and up the Entertainment world.
I was dewy eyed in many chapters.

OOh, will look for the title! Thanks for the review!

I am about to dive into the new Alan Bradley Flavia DeLuce entitled The Grave's A Fine and Private Place, just picked it up from the library. Soooo excited!!!!

I know we talked about the cookie cutter books a while ago - same protagonist, different names - anyway, I started The Lying Game by Ruth Ware and it sucked me in. It's good so far.

Blue Smoke by Nora Roberts...an easy read

[heartgirl99]

james patterson - the people vs alex cross

it's been a while since the last alex cross book. it was interesting but still all the ego stroking was a bit stomach churning. ('oh but alex, you're the best.....' ' oh alex, no one else could have....' --- )

lee child - the midnight line

better than the alex cross book.

Happy #WorldBookDay (thanks Twitter for letting me know)!

I started reading Taraji Henson's memoir-I'd have been scared of her father!

Finished yesterday: Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwon (in anticipation of seeing the movie version this year). Whoa, talk about money and social climbing pressures! Some storylines in book-not sure if they will make it into the movie.
Really keen to see how Rachel's best friend will be portrayed in the movie.
All of us likely have a relative like Oliver who will do an aunt's bidding in trying to sway an "outsider" out of considering a family member as a future match by saying some other eldest son is richer.
There is some mature content in the book.

This is What Librarians Look Like-Kyle Cassidy. Author interviewed and photographed a couple hundred librarians (mostly US with a few Canadians mentioned) over three years at the annual ALA librarian convention. Quite a range of programs and needs that librarians cater too in their respective branches.

I have been reading this last book so slowly because it was just that crazy of a yarn, BUT according to the author ( Tiffany Haddish ) this stuff all happened to her!!

The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish Warning!! .....LOTS and LOTS of swear words throughout this book.

I started another book today that I had gotten before Xmas, The Great Gasbag by Joy Behar ( an A-Z guide about President Donald Trump )
There I was at the hairdresser this morning finishing off Tiffany's book, then I reached into my bag, grabbed Joy's book and started right in....glad I was not stuck leafing through old issues of Flare, Chatelaine or anything else they had there.

I started Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews. I'm usually not into spy novels but this one is pretty good a few pages in.
