I am on a quick read kick. It is essential that I complete reading 200 books in a year for the first time in adulthood. Tracey Emin spins an intriguing narrative.

I read the One in a Million Boy a few years ago and remember liking it a lot.

I just finished My German Brother

which was one of the stranger, but still entertaining and interesting books I 've read lately.
Fiction but based on the author's life. Very different.

I am now starting The Tender Bar for a book cllub. It seems pretty good and when I mentioned the name ( I had no clue) a few people knew it and said it was quite good.

Talking to my dad on the phone right now. He LOVED this book (I ordered it and had it sent to him). He said it's one of the best books he's ever read, and that's saying something!

He is just started reading Stolen by Richard Bell.

My love!!! I know there's work in here I haven't seen before. I wonder where's the location of The Wounded Table? It features her niece Isolda, her nephew Antonio, and herself.

"This Tender Land" by William Kent Krueger. Set in 1932 Minnesota - four orphans run away from and 'indian training school.' Draws you in right from the first few pages.

He's written quite a few books, so I'm looking forward to another author in my repertoire.

The Silent Patient had a very twisty ending but was very good.

He does Cork O’Conner series
Good sense of place

I borrowed this book from the public library. I related to her frustration surrounding mental health and life advancement. I would love to read more of her current life. If she releases another book, I would be willing to read it.
