I found The God of the Woods to be very well written! The plot had twists and turns that kept me wanting to keep reading.

Glad you liked God of the Woods too! (I especially liked how it ended!). I hadn’t heard about Valerie Bertinelli’s weight loss so I googled it just now. I relate to this comment she said: “Because no matter what that number was, it wasn’t going to be good enough.” Too often I feel that way when I step on the scale too. Being discouraged by a number isn’t a healthy mindset to have…. I’m trying to be more accepting of my aging body as it is, but it’s not easy.

I’d be interested to know what your husband thinks of Fat Talk if he does read it, Sarah. It still has me thinking! It strongly encourages us to not obsess about weight…but that is hard not to do.

Jeff just finished the Liz Moore book too, but he listened to it rather than read it. It goes back and forth in time, so he found it a bit confusing just listening, but I didn’t have any problem with the print version.

The premise of Grave Talk sounds so intriguing to me, Lesley! After losing two people this year, I’ve been reading more and more about death. So this book might be a good mix of humor and poignancy that I need. Thanks for sharing about it!

Yes, I am with you on having to have a lighter read on the side while I read Nineteen Minutes. And I try not to read it late at night because it makes me think too much. Thanks so much for the recommendation about Shelter in Place. I’m adding it to my list now! It might be one my gun safety book club would enjoy.
