A Portrait of Joan (ha ha). The week before was The Sellout.
Marilyn In Manhattan: Her Year of Joy by Elizabeth Winder. The best written and most sensitive book ever written about Marilyn. Just a joy to read. Highly recommend it. Gave it 5 Stars on Amazon.
I'll Never Write My Memoirs. Grace Jones autobiography
Last book I read was 2 years ago--re-read Natalie by Lana Wood because Robert Wagner was being accused of killing her again and the investigation was supposed to be re-opened.
Charlotte Bronte, A Fiery Heart
Montana....how was the book? Grace Jones fascinates me. I still call people "Strangé" if the name fits for the moment. /grin
I read all the time. I think this week, it's Divorce Can Be deadly - total schlock cozy English detective thing. Counteracts shitty reality.
Hill-belly Elegy - I enjoyed the recipes for skunk, rabbit and muskrat. I fixed some deep fried weasel with red eye gravy for Wolf Blitzer last week.
I love the Agatha Raisin mysteries...they are light, funny, and cozy. I am currently reading Maisie Dobbs.
I'm currently reading Trevor Noah's autobiography- it's really surprising and very entertaining.
Lincoln in the Bardo
King's Dragon by Kate Elliott. I am working through that series now
Novel: Reread of The Maddaddam Trilogy (Oryx and Crake, Year of the Flood and Maddaddam)
Graphic Novel: The Walking Dead Compendium 3
"Certain Prey" and "Mortal Prey" by John Sandford.
The
Hate
U
Give
by Angie Thomas - technically a Young Adult novel but WOW.....also a first time novelist I believe. Lainey recommended and she is usually spot on when it comes to books
Country Music Hair
hidden bodies by caroline kepnes
"The body snatcher and other tales" by Robert Louis Stevenson. There are a lot of classics to read before going into novelties.
"Ten little New Yorkers" by Kinky Friedman...
That is on my list. It is getting moved up to the top of the stack now.
She was freakin' hilarious in Boomerang.
I'm still slogging through A Storm of Swords. I think for the next Game of Thrones book I'll read it by character. Half the time I've forgotten what has happened to them since their last chapter.
"How Corporate America Invented Christian America " by Kevin Kruse
I'm such a boring news junkie. Sorry.
A Gentleman in Moscow. See, Enty, it's not all hookers and blow for your readers.
I honestly can't tell. LOL. My attention span is so short, I can "read" like 11 books simultaneously, and be stuck at Chapter 2 for all of them for an eternity. It took me an entire year to finish one of Haruki Murakami's shorter books, and I've been "reading" his other book "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage" for about a year now! The last books I 'opened' were "The Spy" (Paulo Coelho) and one of those Shakespeare books with expert notes and bonus articles about the era (for "Coriolanus").
The last thing I really read deeply/intently (while waiting for ballet class to start) wasn't a book, it was an academic article on taxation (for a linguistic job). That was last evening...
But if you want an answer to, "last book you read" as in which one you "completed", I have no answer, Enty. Sorry. LOL.
Just finished Devils Knot by Mara Leveritt. 100% recommend.
Bazaar of Bad Dreams. It's a collection of Stephen King short stories. His writing still (mostly) works for me.
The Man in My Basement, by Walter Mosley.
Excellent. Reading it again, so deep and fascinating.
Stories from Ford County- John Grishem
I liked it. He has a touch for ilustrating characters. Sometimes its a bit lost in his best sellers. But in this shot story format you see how good of a writer he is.
The Autobiography of Kermit the Frog.
