Totally agree with you Joan- the ending was a bit manic, but now I'm wondering if that was intentional to replicate the mania of the protagonist. What do you think?

The Chain by Adrian McKinty.
Very entertaining and it’s keeping me on edge.

I listen to a book-club podcast, so after hearing a great episode on "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin, I finally picked up a copy! I am barely 50 pages in, but I am absolutely loving it. The prose, in my personal opinion, is fantastic! I cannot wait to sit down to read more!

All in Monte Carlo by Anna Shilling. Absolutely loving this over-the-top, satirical tale of revenge. Think Big Little Lies. Apparently all based on true events.

Reading BLUEBIRD by Sharon Cameron. It is set in Germany 1945 & NYC 1946. Such a different WWII perspective!

I am reading Irvin Yalom "The Spinoza problem".

I just finished Little Secrets and wow, what a fantastic thriller ride.

Hotel Magnifique Just finished this one. So good! Reminded me a lot of Night Circus, but a bit darker at the end.

Finished Let Us Descend by Jesmyn Ward
