Hi Lisa, I loved Year of Wonders which i read a few years ago, it was fascinating. I really want to read The Names as I’ve heard so much about it and everyone has been a fan so far. I must say your non-fiction really sound interesting esepcially All in This Together. Thanks for joining us for #WOYBS!

It’s certainly an eclectic mix this month – and two quite confronting books, albeit for different reasons: the Jon Ronson and the lethal injection one. The Frozen River is one that has been on my list for some time.

I love Jon Ronson. He has a new book out this year too. I loved the bit about Max Mosely. I remember it at the time so when he mentions it I immediately thought ‘That’s right. I forgot all about that, I wonder why’….and then as you know,we discover why! Ha. #WOYBS

The publicly shaming book brings to mind the recent case of the CEO (can’t remember his name) at a sports venue with his ‘female friend’. The book is available on Libby so I’m putting it on hold
I’d be interested in Rule Makers Rule Breakers if I could find a copy

A lot of these sound so good and a few I’ve seen on a few other pages so I’ll be adding some new ones to my TBR

In reply to Linda Stoll. I'm glad you enjoyed The Look, too, Linda! Such gorgeous photos. I'm not one to pay attention to fashion, so I appreciated how discerning Michelle had to be with her choices for so many reasons.

Always! You keep on expanding my reading comfort zone, friend!

And yes, I enjoyed paging through The Look, too. Such a well done, behind the scenes volume.

Happy Monday.

In reply to Lynn D. Morrissey. I got the Kindle sample sent to me just now, Lynn, of Reforming Criminal Justice. It sounds like a good read! Thanks for the recommendation.

In reply to Kathryn Trask. I finished The Look last week and loved it. I had first gotten a library copy on my Kindle, which was fine for the text, but the hardback became available and that is definitely my preferred way to read this one because the photos are so lovely. (The book was so really heavy - they used good paper. ha)

In reply to Willow. Yes, good luck with Dante's Purgatory! :) That's a brave challenge to take on. Doing it in community probably helps!
