I finished Flowers For Algernon. I loved it. So sad and inspiring. I cannot believe I never read it before.
Next up….What Alice Forgot.
Here is the description:
"Alice Love is twenty-nine, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child.
So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym and is whisked off to the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over — she’s getting divorced, she has three kids and she’s actually 39 years old. Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade, and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She has to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her, and how is it that she’s become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes.
Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over."
It sounds good….we'll see. I have been on a good roll…I know it will stop sometime. I am also bound to get burned out soon

I gave up on What Alice Forgot after about 50 pages so I'm curious what you think about it. TBH, I can't even remember what I didn't like about it.
I started The Good House by Ann Leary last night. Only read a couple of pages before falling asleep so I don't even know if I like it or not. I got a handful of things from the library so if it doesn't work out, I'll move on.
I finished Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success and Die Again yesterday. Loved Die Again. Who knows how long I'll have to wait to read another Rizzoli and Isles book.
I started True Believer by Nicholas Sparks last night. I am still listening to The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan. I'm limited on where I can listen so it'll take me a while to get through it.
I'm now thinking about re-reading Flowers for Algernon. I haven't read it since junior high or high school, can't remember which it was. I remember liking it.
Finished David Benioff's "City of Thieves". Very good. I can't say what I liked about it, it was a simple read, but one I couldn't put down. What I will say is that the ending hit me between the eyes, one of the most beautifully powerful endings of any novel I've ever read. I put it in my Top Three Endings list. Along with Charles Frazier's "Thirteen Moons" and David Lodge's "Deaf Sentence".

I hope that you like it. I did. I liked the main character. I don't remember her name, of course, but I liked her. There's lots of great dialogue.

I'm bummed that there was no e-book available. You would have finished it by now.

Exactly! It was a simple read, but impossible to put down. Who said... hang on, let me find it... here it is:
"Easy reading is damn hard writing." - Nathaniel Hawthorne
So true.

I "finished" The Girl on the Train. Ketabcha wouldn't tell me the end. I mean, she said that she would, if I really wanted her to, but she "suggested" that I skip to about 90% and then read from there. So I went to 90%, read a few pages, saw "who dunnit," and didn't read any more. I poked myself with a fork -- I was done.
I'm not sure what I'll read next. I have the attention span of a gnat right now.

I have decided to put it back on my wish list and get the actual book from the library. Two of the kids have library books due like Feb 4 so I'll be there before then. I am too easily distracted when I listen to an audiobook. I did a decent job so far with this one, but.... So I'll plan to read both books soon. I was enjoying The Middle Place so I will definitely go back to it.
I wish I had some really great suggestion for you to read next, but I'm just idea-less.
Amos Kincaid is the son of a dowser – a person gifted in knowing how to “find” water deep in the ground. As a young person, Amos doesn’t reveal his gift to others; he’s not sure he wants the burden. But through his experiences growing up and crossing the Oregon Trail, Amos learns about life’s harsh realities, especially the pain in losing loved ones. As he cares for those around him, Amos comes to accept his dowsing fate. This epic novel is a fascinating period piece about the westward expansion and one man’s destiny as he searches for love and family.
