Here are my reading stats for April.
This month there is a three way tie. I love all three and can’t bring myself to pick one over the other two.
Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie
The Library Book by Susan Orlean
Normal People by Sally Rooney

From page 56:
Graham: The night before we finished recording, I cam home from somewhere or other and found Karen sitting up on the railing of the deck, looking into the canyon….Karen turned to me and said, “It’s a shame the water’s up to my ankles. I wanted to go for a hike.” And so I said, “What are you guys on and is there anymore?”
Karen: It was mescaline.
This book! If you are are a fan of ’70’s rock, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks (I named my daughter after her), band drama, Almost Famous, and Behind the Music, you will probably like this book. It is something else. As of this writing, I am about half way through it. It’s a quick fun read.
Has anyone else read this yet? Is it on your TBR? Let me know in the comments below. Happy reading.

From page 57:
History-obsessed Viv went on to spearhead the insane Boy Georgey New Romantic style: she brought back pirates and gave women a postfeminist thumbs-up on the controversial issue of corsetry. Ultrwacky Viv, who, aged fifty-six, received her OBE from the Queen sans panties, believes that their is nothing more powerful than an alluring courtesan brimming over her basque.
This is a fun collection of essays about unconventional women in pop culture. A friend gave me this book because she knows I love wacky chicks. Have you read this? Do you agree with me if you have read it? Let me know in the comments below.
Happy Reading!

It was unusual to hear him speak so openly. It wasn’t that their relationship was strained, exactly. It was more that he and Fred seemed to have an unspoken agreement to keep to certain topics. And those didn’t include honest appraisals of their feelings.
This one has been on my wishlist/TBR pile since it was published in 2015. I’m very interested in the expat writers living in Paris between the World Wars. And the couple Gerald and Sara Murphy were a part of that community. So when I found this book on the sale table at B&N I snapped it up.
Have you read this book and what did you think? Let me know in the comments below.

Walking through the rubber estate, he admires the neat rows of slender trees, imported from South America. Each tree has thin cuttings on its trunk and a small cup into which the milky latex sap drips.
That cover! It’s one of the reason I chose this book for my #BOTM choice in January. As with wine labels, I’m a sucker for a pretty book cover.

Darby knew it would hurt; it was gummed up in her hair. Lars had wrapped it lazily around her head, and it was the black electrical kind.
I choose this for my December #BookoftheMonth selection. I want to read this soon. Have any of you read it? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below! Happy Reading.

From page 56:
“Blah blah unprecedented, blah blah sympathies to family, blah blah cooperating with the police to the fullest extent, blah blah reassure our customers. There’s a press release.”
I picked this book because I like the cover. I really don’t know anything about it. Have you read it? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below!
