Glad you had such good reading on your break and a great trip. I have been having a hard time reading; I pick up a book and my mind starts to wander. I have had a better time this week reading A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute. Not a happy story at all, but it is engaging. I finished Mother Daughter Murder Night by Nina Simon which was good, although I figured out the killer. Also finished the 4th in The Thursday Murder Club, The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman. They are on the light side, but there are bodies and real life issues tackled in each one. Happy New Year to you and Donna!

I enjoyed all three reviews and the third sounds like a book I'll want to quickly add to my TBR. Happy New Year.

I’ve been on a celebrity memoir tear so when this one is up on Everand/Scribd you best believe I’m on it thanks to this review! We love messy memoir. And I have to say Mike you have the bravest wildest taste in books, I love it. Rock on!

Aaaaaah!!! Two little books to add to my list of short books AND you're reading The Little Friend. Can't wait for that review--it's the only Donna book I haven't read!

One of my favorite video games has a Kappa character in it and it’s favorite food is a cucumber like the one in the picture 😂

I just bought both "Coin in Nine Hands" and "Kappa." I can't wait to read them. Well, I can because I have to. These both feel right for reading right now and I'm looking forward to them. I never would have heard of them if not for you, so thank you! I'll be interested in your assessment of the Tartt book. I have read none of hers although I have tried more than once.
