Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore: A Novel: Robin Sloan ...
I'm sort of conflicted about posting this here instead of the What Are You Reading thread because I didn't hate this book, its just not being a techy person maybe I just didn't appreciate it as much as I would have had I been one!

Shining Through by Susan Isaacs
A review stated that Shining Through is a novel of honor, sacrifice, passion, and humor. I'd have to say more than 90% of it is work place gossip, romance, and just dull storytelling in general! And yet this was made into a most enjoyable movie IMHO of the same name starring Melanie Griffith, Michael Douglas, and Liam Neeson..go figure |

Sharp Objects..........
I should of listened to my gut!
There are enough sick and twisted people in this world, I really didn't need to read about fictitious ones as well. |

Tell it to the Bees by Fiona Shaw..
IMHO.. this book moved slower than molasses in January! It was not an up lifting read, & it focused on the ex-husband Robert WAY to much! I liked the 10 year old child, but we're only privy to one or two things he confides to the bees. I know I posted about this being turned into a movie in one of the other threads and perhaps even suggested reading the book in the meantime! My deepest apologizes! |

Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly
I read the first three chapters but for some reason it just didn't grab me! Maybe I gave up to soon???? Personally I think I was in the mood for a book comparable to The Alice Network and this wasn't it unfortunately. |

Those Who Knew by Idra Novey
I had seen fairly good reviews of this so thought I'd pick it up to read on the plane. It starts out good with a intriguing mystery, but it was pretty much all downhill from there for me! One of the things I found most irritating was Freddy's pages and pages of scenes/dialogue relating to plays that may or may not come to light! I realize it helped to shed light on his brother, family dynastic, etc etc but still irritating none the less~ |

Light At The End Of The Tunnel by Sallyanne Monti
I was so taken in by the first few pages and all the excellent reviews this got on Amazon! I wished I'd take more time scanning other pages. It's not a horrible book by any means but it just wasn't what I was expecting I guess! |

You Should Have Known: Jean Hanff Korelitz
While I didn't care for this book, the HBO limited series The Undoing is off to a good start IMHO.. |
