I saw the press on that

book. It almost sucked me in, but I'm at the stage in my life where I only want happy thoughts when I read

I'm just a couple years older than her so, I guess I'm in a stage for 30 yr olds [still] trying to move on from childhood

It is very hard to wade through all the junk to find good books on kindle unlimited and audible. I open a lot of books before I find keepers. I also read a wide variety of genres just to find page turners.
I'm not a deep thought person. I'll read pretty much anything if it holds my interest.

It has to hold my interest, too.
I like books that make you think.

Good Morning Monster is the therapist writing about a handful of patients over the years that she considered heroes of their circumstances. It can be triggering but, very interesting and inspiring.

This seems like a nice thread

Uh-uh. Too many years working in the mental health field. I don't want to revisit that.

It is. You might as well suggest some books. We are up for anything that's readable.

that's understandable!

I guess I kind of forgot about this thread!

I've been reading a lot of historical stuff lately. I'm pages away from finishing "Daughters of the Winter Queen" by Nancy Goldstone. I have to admit, I don't recall ever learning about Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia, granddaughter of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Before that, I had just finished "Victoria's Daughters" by Jerrold M. Packard (and yes, I knew who Queen Victoria was!) and figured I would continue my royalty reading.

While I liked both books, I think Goldstone does a better job of making clear which of the identically and/or similarly named royalty is which. All over Europe, it seemed everybody was naming their offspring in honor of themselves or another relative, sometimes combining two overused names at once.
