Monday
Over the weekend, I finished RED RISING by Pierce Brown. I had tried to read this back in 2014. DNF. I got to the 50% mark this weekend and really was not liking it so I skim-read until the end. Not my cuppa. 1 star.
I did read and enjoyed very much a stand alone, OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE SKY by Kirstin Higgins.
Lillie Silva knew life as an empty nester would be hard after her only child left for college, but when her husband abruptly dumps her for another woman the day before her son's high school graduation, her world comes crashing down. Besides the fact that this announcement is a complete surprise (to say the least). Lillie has loved her life on Cape Cod, but as a mother, wife and nurse-midwife, she's used to caring for other people...not taking care of herself. Now, alone for the first time in her life, she finds herself going a little rogue. Is it over the top to crash her ex-husband's wedding, dressed like the angel of death? Sure! Should she release a skunk into his perfect new home? Probably not! It's the end of Lillie's life as she knew it. But sometimes the perfect next chapter surprises you...out of the clear blue sky.
Published 2022; 496 pages. I don't usually read "women's fiction" but this must have been the right book at the right time. I gave it 4 stars. Maybe 4.5.
We watched episodes three and four of Jack Ryan -- and Steve stayed awake.
Tonight I have reading sprints. Otherwise just going to get through the day.
Have a good day
Much love,
