I just read Steppenwolf and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I have a new appreciation for the classics now.

I just read "The Most Dangerous Place on Earth" it was about a group of high school kids and their disturbing lives outside of school. I didnt like it at all! I thought it was super crude and very unrealistic.... thumbs down unfortunately for me on this one!

I'm reading Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover During the Civil War. I think the women and the stories of their lives undercover during the Civil War are interesting. I'm glad to see that the book has women representing both sides of the war and doesn't try to tell you which side is best. We have enough of that in the current US political divisiveness. However, I don't like that the author has chosen to break the stories apart by one chapter of each woman and repeating that pattern in the book. It's made the book less enjoyable to read because when you're really getting into one story, the chapter ends and you have to trudge along slowly through the point she's trying to make with the next three characters and by the time you pick it back up, you've forgotten the suspense and drama. It can get confusing and it's quite anticlimactic. I don't know if it was the author's choice to do this or the author's but it was a poor decision on someone's part.

The last book I read was "The Book of Joy" with Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu. An amazing meeting between two spiritual leaders. Definitely a thumbs up. So much common sense how to live our lives in a positive and peaceful way. Amazing reading.

I just read 50 Shades of Grey because i wanted to see the movie and the sequel. It was a good read and I finished it fast.

Allegedly by Tiffany Jackson. Messed up but a good read if you like mysteries.

I just finished "I contain multitudes" by Ed Young. Good book. very informative and a science book that's approachable to a general reader.

The Hours by Michael Cunningham. I love how it tells the story of 3 different women in 3 different eras and in the last few chapters you find out how they all relate to one another and why they are each connected to each other. Such an intense book that deals with mental illness, sexuality, gender roles, and real life issues.

I am reading Girl on a Train. Excellent read. Haven't finished it yet, but it is definitely a grabber.

Last book I read was Behind Closed Doors provided by SheSpeaks and it was an excellent thriller. Couldn't put it down!
