Those were great novels
Not me either, but it’s on my TBR list. I’m going to move it up higher now! Thanks for the endorsement.

The second one, Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man) was good too!
Have you read The Rose Code?

I just tagged both of the Vera Wong books in Libby!
I haven’t listened to The Rose Code. Do I need to?

I liked it.
It’s pretty long so it may not be your thang. The first half moves a little slow but the end is worth it.
I’m gonna check it out! I powered through The Women - and that was a long one too. Every once and while I can be conned into something over 8-10 hours. Lol
Also, I need to get an update posted in here, my list is over 80 books long… Be forewarned. Lol

Before We Were Yours- Lisa Wingate
Excellent, but gut wrenching.

I’ve started that twice and not finished it. Or have I? This is what I hate about the Kindle.
Looks like not. I may switch away from the book I’m currently not reading - State of Wonder, Ann Patchett - and see if it works better for me now. State of Wonder is fine, but I read The Poisonwood Bible recently, and both are set in the jungle. I have limited interest in the characters’ experience of being endlessly grossed out and horrified by the bugs and creatures there. I had difficulty handling Stone Mtn, GA and Mansfield, TX. I’m a fragile flower of a reader.

Before We Were Yours is definitely a slow burn at first. It never really reaches a breakneck pace but the ending was worth the smoke. IMO
Family in the book is completely fictional but it’s horrifying to think it was based off real experiences. Cancer was too good for that bitch!

Everybody kept recommending
Remarkably Bright Creatures as an uplifting/ light hearted book. 
Maybe it’s just me but…
Has anybody else read this?
Is that the one about the Octopus?

Yes! I don’t see how anybody thought it was lighthearted and humorous.

Well, I never made it to the end. I did find the octopus to be somewhat entertaining. But I agree that I would classify it as neither lighthearted nor uplifting.

The octopus was the ONLY entertaining part of the whole book! I gutted it out to the end thinking something was going to happen but…

Wealth of Nations about the economics of WW2. Based on true events that set up what we are living today. Excellent read. Surprisingly, easy read
Code Name Hèlén by Ariel Lawhon. It has dual narration and the guy sounds so much like the dude that did the octopus’s voice in Remarkably Bright Creatures I had to go look. No, it’s not him but he sounds just like him, everytime he speaks I picture a giant pacific octopus.
