    “Red Sparrow” and “The Casual Vacancy”. The latter is quite boring and disappointing coming from JK Rowling.

    I was bored silly with "The Casual Vacancy" until the last third. Then it picked up, but only a little. Very disappointing.

    That book bored me too. I couldn't finish it. But check out the Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith (a pseudonym of J.K. Rowling). It's a series of mysteries. Very interesting protagonist, an absorbing read. Quite good IMO.

    The Cuckoo's Calling"

    Oooh I didn't like those ones, but I read them because Jk rowling

    Off topic:

    I have been trying to get audible books to listen to on my drive to work.

    However, Amazon (my primary choice for books) only allows a subscription for audible, which is not what I want.

    I have tried the library, but it’s too clunky and lame. I’m not going to use such a lame solution.

    I don’t want to buy CD’s because I have no way to play them, plus they are very expensive.

    For those that use audible books, how do you get them?

    TIA.

    Does your library use the overdrive app? I listen to most of books through overdrive. I just check out my book through my library online and download to the app. I listen to a lot of books, so I love free audio books.

    This. I also use the Overdrive app through my library...This is where I get all of my audiobooks.

    I have recently finished Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine which was one of the best novels that I have read in quite a while. I am now reading the classic that is Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express.

    The Goldfinch -Donna Tartt.

    I love love loved The Secret History. I've read it at least 5 times. I couldn't finish The Goldfinch, though. I was so bored. Maybe I should try again...

    Read it - actually listened to it in the car, but, same difference. MUCH better adult fare from Rowling.

    I read tons of mysteries of all types and I did not see the ending coming at all. I didn't like the "racism" though throughout the book when describing the neighbourhoods, the bar, etc

    Just finished Killers of the Flower Moon Excellent research, writing, and reading, but do not consider this book if you don't want to have your expectation of human capacity for evil to be greatly expanded.
