LOVED the book "Where the Crawdads Sing" so much I don't know if I would ever want to see the movie.

I thought the same, but the movie is really good.

I’m getting pretty close to finishing it. I hope the author writes more novels, she’s certainly good at it. ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ is her first and only novel as of now.

I’m in the middle of rereading the Maze Runner series, and I’m also reading some Wings of Fire books.
I also want to reread Running for My Life (I think it’s called) by Ray something.. I need to go dig up the book, it’s buried somewhere.

So far this year, I have read books about improving my sleep, improving the healthiness of my diet, improving my ability to organize and reduce clutter. I am now exhausted from trying to be a better person.

My next planned read is "Accidental Presidents" by Jared Cohen. It's about the eight U.S. vice presidents who became presidents when their predecessor died in office. There is no way this can at all relate to my life and its needed upgrades.

Reading ‘The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks’ by Rebecca Skloot in English class and ‘The Goldfinch’ just for fun. Highly recommend ‘The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks’. It’s interesting, especially if you like science.

Hello! I'm reading 'In AI we trust' by Helga Nowotny for the AI and ethics bookclub I co-chair. We'll be discussing it Monday night. Every page teaches me something new, it's quite head-spinning!

I quite liked the goldfinch even if it's far-fetched. I liked all of Donna Tartt's books actually!
I'm finishing Cloud Splitter by Russell Banks. I really enjoy it. I loved Russell Banks in my youth but I only read him translated, so his recent death made me want to read his books in English.

Before that I read the Iron Council, which is the last book in the New Crobuzon serie by "weird fiction " steam punk writer China Miéville. It was good, but a bit of letdown compared to the first two books, Perdido street station and the scar, that made a very strong impression on me.

I've been reading the Frank Quinn series by John Lutz. It's a police procedural series. I don't know why I kept reading them... a lot of "sameness" to them all. Until I got to this one, which is the last one. Yup, I'm on #10.

The writing is good, some of what the characters do is questionable. In the last one, the killer left a victim alive (he thought she wouldn't make it), and I almost threw the book across the room. Except it's a Kindle, so I didn't.

sooo can relate one the “sameness” part. I’m a fan of historical fiction, but a ton of historical fiction books are set in the Holocaust and they’re getting so predictable. I’ve read books set in that time period told from a German perspective, a Nazi perspective, an American perspective, and even an Italian perspective. They’re interesting, but I definitely want to read some other genres this year
