Read Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine. At first I wanted dot stop reading because the main character was not likeable at all. Reminded me somewhat of The Rosie Project but without all the funny stuff. I kept reading and in the end could give 4 stars.


Now reading A Virtuous Woman by Kaye Gibbons (having a hard time with that Southern and sometimes simple language) as well as Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey which is quite interesting but I keep falling asleep very quickly these days so I'm quite slow.


Yesterday I browsed the used online bookstore again. I put around 120 books from my goodreads TBR list on my wish list there and also found many cheap books but, and I'm a little proud now, didn't order anything

I'm about 1/5 of the way through Little Fires Everywhere by Christina Ng.

So far, it's really good.

It opens with a lovely house burning down, the fire deliberately set, and goes backwards from there.

Ghosted by Rosie Walsh. Picked it up in airport store and it kept me occupied for 4.5 hours flight and am finishing now. Surprised by the coming ending. Thought he was the bad guy. Not so.
