A great who done it by a much loved author. The protagonist had been accused of kidnapping her child. Strange occurrences,

A great page turner. Two daughters try to unravel the true intentions of their father’s remarriage to a much younger woman. A domestic thriller that keeps your interest.

This is the author’s account of a real life event he experienced when he got stabbed several times right before he was about to give a lecture in upstate, New York. It is his way of processing such a violent incident (he almost decided not to write such a book) while undergoing the harrowing steps to recovery. I was very moved by his story of resilience — and the realization of how one’s prejudice, combined with misinformation from the media can lead to such extremism (the attempted murderer didn’t even read any of Rushdie’s works).

Hanah. Has been working as a librarian for years in Minnesota but her secret past from her life during the Bosnian War resurfaces when her good friend is killed and she is named as the friend’s grandson’s legal guardian.

after reading the ACOTAR series i expected to be immediately obsessed with this book but it didn't immediately draw me in the way i thought it would. now that i've read this book in full i am definitely eager to read the next one! my jaw is on the floor at the ending and i have 0 predictions for what is going to happen next

I never realized how limited my knowledge was of the female body and how it drove human evolution — until I read this book. I was very impressed by the amount of research that went into it. The topics were so interesting: why women’s live longer than men; why women experience menopause; does the “female brain” really exist? The author’s work points out the importance of a new perspective in human history — we have been focused primarily on the male body that we have neglected the female sex.

This book explores the ways in which feminist artists have navigated the challenges in making work as women in a patriarchal world. It is like a collage, drawing works from different periods and making links between a variety of artists. It addresses the idea of what an “art monster” is — someone who has renounced the “mundane” like housework, children, etc. Society questions if one can be both a mother and an artist. This is something that I can relate with — which made it an interesting read.

Good life advice from an intelligent woman who took a big gamble that paid off.

This is the book referenced in Chernow’s biography, which Mark Twain had sold door to door after Grant’s death from throat cancer.Fascinating window into our pre and post civil war past and this underadmired President.

#3 in her Neopolitan story series - her attention to detail regarding motherhood and relationships is remarkable
