It's not his usual type of novel but I really enjoyed it. I think the mixed reviews are mostly because he takes a few shots at Trump. I think by now most people know he isn't a fan. It's not like that's all the book was about though. It's definitely worth a read.LiveWhatULove wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 11:40 pmI do like Stephen king, although The Institute got quite a few mixed reviews, more than usual I thought.

Also a fiction book. It's the first book in a new series for them and I honestly have no idea what it's about yet. I buy everything certain authors put out without even reading the descriptions so when I saw they had something new I bought it. LOL
What are you reading?

I try to read one nonfiction and one fiction a week. But i stick to a lot of psychology and science, not too much history. Might have to add How Not To Be Wrong to my TBR list though.Smarties wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 7:09 pm Recently finished:
The Boys in the Boat - nonfiction. Probably the most interesting a book about a 1936 rowing team could possibly be, lol. I did like it.
How Not to Be Wrong by Jordan Ellenberg. Its a mathish book. I mostly liked it but the author seemed a little egotistical. But I'm a math girl so it was my subject.
Lafayette in the Somewhat United States by Sarah Vowell. Lots of sarcasm and witty writing. A fun read.
I like nonfiction mostly. I need to get through the rest of this semester before I pick a new book to read and try to cram anything more in my brain right now.

Well, diversity makes the world go round .Anonymous 3 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 11:05 pm I'm never read a full book
Minus the kids books I've read to my kids. I think reading us a total waste of time
I am a better, smarter and more engaged person due to books, so definitely not a waste of time for me!

I enjoy Nora Roberts too, but did not care too much for Under Currents, only a 3/5 for me.

Well, after finishing school in May, I actually have had a really difficult time adjusting to a different pace of life. So this is good, keeps me busy, and my TBR is long. I also cheat, as many are audiobooks, so it's pretty easy -- I can cook, clean, drive, walk all while listening to the book. Although, I can actually read much faster than I can listen.Smarties wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 9:48 amLiveWhatULove wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 6:29 amI try to read one nonfiction and one fiction a week.

I love reading my DD6 books. My YDS10 is losing interest in this and it is breaking my heart, lol. But we still listen to audiobooks together. We are finishing up "The Girl Who Drank The Moon."agander2017 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 6:51 am The little blue truck, curious George, Bucky and the storm.... I think we read Rikki Tikki Tavi the other day.
I would like to read "Silence is a scary sound" but I don't know when I would find the time.

I just can't decide, if I should buy it or not. I think I might just get on the long wait list at the library, LOL!bmw29 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 5:54 amIt's not his usual type of novel but I really enjoyed it.
