Finished listening to The Ninth Hour: A Novel and subsequently returned to listening to Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows

Picked up a Kristina Ohlsson crime novel, ‘Hostage’ after dropping Camilla Lackberg’s (one Swede replaces another!) someone here on GR made the suggestion and commented on Lackberg’s stereotypical (or sexist) characters. I had to agree (Ice Princess) And am liking Ohlsson’s novel better, though this is the middle of a series. Also reading ‘Being Mortal’ by Atul Gawunde, nonfiction about US cultural attitudes toward the elderly, physician-patient relationships & how we deal with end-of-life issues in families and medical/hospice care (poorly, to say the least, in most instances.) Scary, yet thought provoking, as I enter my 7th decade!!

Listened to I Can't Breathe: A Killing on Bay Street. Heart breaking review of some of the shootings which resulted in the forming of the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

just starting Karin Slaughter,,,,The Kept Woman,,

Finally Finished by Carson McCullers-- 1 star

I did not enjoy this one...

Oh. My. Gosh! I just finished The Hummingbird. That just became the best book I read in 2017.

Started The Grave's a Fine and Private Place. I've had an e-arc for awhile and always had deadlines before. Now's the deadline for this one.
