I've got it on hold.

Just finished another fabulous find from my Library's Choice section...

"Rabbit Cake" by Annie Hartnett https://www.amazon.com/Rabbit-Cake-A.../dp/194104056X

Another 5 star read for me. Quirky, extremely funny and entertaining!

This book was 327 pages.

Ooops I got mixed up with my books - thought you were talking about Lisa Jewell, but yes, the Ronan Farrow book kind of a heavy read, but there are things we weren't aware of, how powerful people can be and what they can do. I mean we know that there are people like this, but to read about it.

Well, I will be curious to see what you think of Hillbilly Elegy-- I loved it and others on here, not so much.
I just finished Dispatches from Pluto :Lost and Found in the Mississippi Delta. I think ClaraC recommended it here and somehow it caught my attention
I so enjoyed it-- a nice different and engrossing read. Highly recommend.

It was a slow burn for me but I liked it. I figured out early on what happened/was going to happen.



Reading Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage. I'm 3-4 chapters in and I'm creeped the heck out.
