I honestly shouldn't even reveal that I read this because it's so bad and embarrassing but I have to just in order to tell people NOOOOO DON'T READ IT, IT'S SOOOOO BAD, romance that should be classed as psychological horror

It was amusing. Some funny stuff, some not-so-funny stuff and some I'd already heard.

My Name Is Lucy Barton
by Elizabeth Strout
View in Library Catalog
book cover


For readers who have met New York author (and eventual resident of Maine) Lucy Barton in Strout’s other books, this is an interesting deep dive into her life. It focuses on a period in. Barton’s life where her children were young and she is in the hospital for nine weeks with a severe infection following routine surgery. Not sure if I would have enjoyed this story if I hadn’t read about Barton in Strout’s other books.

I have really liked all books in this series but this one and the first were my favorite. I loved getting to hear Molly's grandmother's story! I think going back and forth between the two stories made it so much more interesting. Very good character development. Love these stories!

The Art Of Vanishing
by Morgan Pager

book cover


I really wanted to love this book! It came onto my radar because I follow the author’s nycbookgirl instagram for bookish content. The idea of a love story in an art museum with magical realism sounded like such an amazing premise, and the lovely cover sets a nice tone. The book got off to a solid start but fragments into multiple disparate plot twists (one of which involved the pandemic, which took the book out of the present for me). I also felt like the emotional declarations between the two main characters felt too big and instalove for my taste. Still, someday when I come across Matisse’s The Music Lesson, I will immediately think of this book and all that it strove to achieve. I listened to the dual narration audiobook on Libby.

I love the Jack Reacher series, and A Wanted Man did not disappoint. I read it over the weekend! Great characters, action, twists, and turns. Another fun, thrilling ride from Lee Child!

Anything Is Possible
by Elizabeth Strout
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A series of short stories from the past and present told from the viewpoints of some of Strout’s familiar characters. Most of the stories connect to others in this book, tales of love, life, and forgiveness. Great for fans of Strout, but not an ideal book to introduce her characters.
