Bettyville
https://g.co/kgs/UzLda People in my reading group swapped books this week. I was lucky to be in on a trade for the book, Bettyville, which was a New York Times best seller, last year. I plan to read it over the weekend.

Stephen King- The Four Seasons- 4 Novella set -1982. Stephen King's books make me crazy, yet are so addicting.

I'm reading another great schlocky novel by James Michener (1907-1997), "Poland" (1983).
Michener's novels include Tales of the South Pacific, Hawaii, The Drifters, Centennial, The Source, The Fires of Spring, Chesapeake, Caribbean, Caravans, Alaska, Texas and Poland. His non-fiction works include Iberia, about his travels in Spain and Portugal. His first book was adapted as the popular Broadway musical South Pacific by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. The guy wrote some 40 novels/books, almost all based in sweeping historical research and full of manifest destiny, which is always fun. Thankfully I wont list them all here but: I did learned about "the missionary position" from "Hawaii"; all about why everyone wants pieces of Israel from "The Source"; and I can still sing all the words to "Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair" from South Pacific. |

Maria Konnikova's "The Confidence Game"
It is about the psychology of the con. Fascinating and filled with handy tips that work really well in business.

I very recently finished Anne of Green Gables. I can't believe I've never read these books before... damn my preconceived notions!
I've started Anne of Avonlea, but put it on hold yesterday when I realized that Morning Star was out, the third (and last) in the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. I'll be stepping back in Anne's world by the weekend, I'm sure!

Currently reading: "We Gotta Get Out of This Place - The Soundtrack to the Vietnan War", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and "Star Wars: Annihilation".
I think I'm all over the genre spectrum.

Depraved Heart
Patricia Cornwall"s Latest!- Scarpetta Series.- A must read for fans! Scarpetta's butch niece Lucy, is still being stalked by her psycho ex Carrie, who has been trying to murder her. This novel is all about them. Of course, Patricia dedicated this one to her partner Staci again. She looked too thin on her jacket photo though. I hope she is well.
