    I've been reading a bunch of humor/memoir books by contemporary ladies the past few weeks...

    Meaty by Samantha Irby - pretty gross but still worth reading
    When You Find Out the World is Against You by Kelly Oxford - surprisingly loved it
    This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps - better than I expected, but also kinda what I expected

    Next up is Amanda de Cadenet's "It's Messy: On Boys, Boobs & Badass Women"

    Florence Foster Jenkins. I'll watch the movie when I'm done.

    I'm sure you will love the movie. Meryl Streep was great.

    I've been an insomniac lately. I mostly read technology related things but that just tends to get my mind thinking on an idea and makes things worse.

    Anyone have a book they would recommend a good mystery thriller with some smut thrown in for good measure?

    no real smut- but the Repairman Jack series by F. Paul Wilson is great.
    lot of mystery and thrills and occasional horror.

    I was JUST thinking of F. Paul Wilson this morning--specifically, the "Freak Show" anthology he edited for the Horror Writer's Association a few years back? It's hard to find in print I guess but you can get it relatively cheap for Kindle. I think it also takes place in the Repairman Jack "world" sort-of? I need to check those out, I loved the anthology

    My to-read pile is huge right now but I'm still thinking of re-reading either Dracula or Burn, Witch, Burn! because I want to revisit both of those.

    Just picked up Saga by Brian K Vaughn ....it's pretty cool and I needed a break from heavy...beautiful art from Fiona Staples too....if you're into comic as I sometimes am it's a beautiful beginning to an interesting story, you might like it if you check it out.🤷 👍

    Eye Contact
    by Cammie McGovern (Goodreads Author)
    3.57 · Rating details · 3,316 ratings · 464 reviews
    Adam, a nine-year-old autistic boy, is discovered hiding near to the body of his murdered classmate. Now the police are relying on Adam as the only witness to an appalling crime. But he can't tell the police what he saw—or what he heard. Barely verbal on the best of days, Adam has retreated into a silent world that Cara, his mother, knows only too well.

    This one hit close to home but I got through it and really felt it for days....💔

    I love when that happens....maybe that's why I'm reading comix now 🤔😁

    Just read “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” which I enjoyed and now on to the rather contrasting “I Hate You… Don’t Leave Me”. Life is complicated 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Just bought a Kindle Paperwhite and it’s helping me get back in to reading brilliantly.
