    Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner
    Kind of a funny easy read.

    She's pretty good. I think I've read that one. If you haven't read Jennifer Cruisie, try her. She's awesome!

    Thank you, another author to add to my list! My to be read pile is vanishing. I downloaded Libby and can't wait to give it a try.

    If you do, let me know how you like her. I found Weiner because I was looking for something 'like' Cruisie. I think Cruisie is more fun. Love Dog and Godesses (which has 3 authors, also Anne Stuart and Lane Diane Rich, who I haven't found much from) and Faking It, which is very How to Steal a Million, just updated. What am I saying...I like all of her stuff.

    Someone suggested I read this here on MFP awhile back. Finally getting to it; I like it so far!

    Reading it now. And I'm enjoying it so far but not even halfway through. This guy was amazing in all that he created for his living space, pretty smart and well thought out. But it wouldn't have been close to that way without his stealing. He was actually living the 'high-life' for a hermit. :)

    We Few by David Weber and John Ringo

    The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. Finally decided I should read the Wheel of Time novels and, so far, I am highly enjoying this first book.

    Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan. Quite nice.

    Salem's Lot by Stephen King. This one I have read before. Nice and creepy, even with me remembering most of what happens.

    Ruled Britannia by Harry Turtledove. Like the concept, but have problems truly getting into that one. It's been moved to the back-burner.

    Currently making my way through Road to Disaster, about the events leading up to the Vietnam War. I've been on a Vietnam War kick lately and I think this is the 4th book I've read on the subject in the last few months.

    My husband really likes the Safehold series. He's the real Weber fan. I just dabble now and then.

    Last book was "Live Like a Monk" by Jay Shetty and now reading "Awaken the Giant Within" by Tony Robbins. I'm on a self improvement journey, hence why I am also on MyFitnessPal. I'm also open to friend requests

    And here's the quick version and all the spoilers. 💕

    Ooh, I loved Nathaniel Parker in this! Time to dig out my DVD (actually, I might have this one on VHS 😒).

    Finished: The Boy from the Woods (Harlan Coben)
    Started: All the Devils Are Here (Louise Penny)

    Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop. This a re-read.

    I've occasionally considered Coben but I read the covers and they don't really appeal...but I've seen a couple Netfix versions of his books that were compeling and fascinating. Maybe I should give him a shot?

    I wasn't sure about Coben either at first, but I always wind up enjoying his stand-alone books. Oddly enough, I've never read one of his very popular Myron Bolitar books.

    I don't have Netflix, but I saw the French version of "Tell No One" when it was released years ago. What a great film! It's free with Amazon Prime, so I'm planning a re-watch.

    I really enjoy his Myron Bolitar series; they're a good mix of mystery, humor and likeable characters.
    I'll have to check out the free prime video of Tell No One. I've read it but I've read so many of his books I get them kind of mixed up until I read their description. :)
    Another author that has a similar style of writing is Linwood Barclay. I've only read a few of his books(He doesn't have nearly as many as Coben)but what I've read, I liked.
    Another author I've really liked is Lia Gardner, haven't read a bad book yet, always ends with a twist.

    I'll have to try one of the Bolitar books. Definitely post if you watch "Tell No One." I think you'll like it. [I know this is a book thread, but I have to mention one more film that I loved: "I'm Not Scared" ( https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0326977/ ). I remember being on the edge of my seat, literally, in the movie theater.]

    I'll have to check out Barclay and Gardner. I've heard of them but don't think I've read any of their works.

    I like twists but sometimes I find some writers go in with this thought that the HAVE TO HAVE a twist. And it's irritating. Some stories are straight forward and good...some writers undermine themselves. And writers who depend on it...meh. I didn't get the hype on The Woman on thr Train...it was just okay.

    Louie Anderson - Hey Mom
    Amy Schumer - The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo
    Carly Simon - Boys in the Trees
    Ruth Wariner - the Sound of Gravel (SAD!)
    Lol Tolhurst - Cured
    Anthony Kiedis - Scar Tissue
    Colin Jost - A Very Punchable Face
    Patricia Williams - Rabbit
    Eunsun Kim - A Thousand Miles to Freedom
    Kate Mulgrew - Born With Teeth
    Piper Kerman - Orange is the New Black (quite different from the show, and amazing)

    Is that A Man Called Ove? I read that one. I almost didn't read it...the first 10 pages or so were very difficult for me as I lost my sister to suicide 5 1/2 years ago. It was worth it though.

    I have read every book by Lisa Gardner. She is my favorite!!! Can't wait for a new one to come out.
