1. Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett - This was our book club book and it was simply not for me. It's sort of a Shakespeare spoof and I found myself just wishing I was reading Shakespeare instead (which I know is pretentious but I am who I am). There were moments that made my chuckle, but mostly it was a slog for me.
2. The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley by Courtney Walsh - My friend Emily recommended this and it was exactly what I needed after the previous book! I listened to it rather quickly and it was really cute. I've already recommended it to someone else who I think would love it. I'm always a sucker for a sweet romance book.
3. No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson by Gardiner Harris - This is our book club choice for next month, so I got ahead and read it early. It was really interesting and I've been thinking about it a lot, but I do have some criticisms. There are parts that really dragged and that get so bogged down in the science that I would lose the point he was making. Still, it made me sad at some points and angry at others. It's not a shock that a large corporation doesn't always have a compass that points north, but I do wish it wasn't so.
4. The Will of the Many by James Islington - I absolutely loved this. It's much longer than books I normally read so it took me a while to get through, but it wasn't for lack of interest. It's a fantasy novel and I was completely sucked in after the first few chapters. A really creative and interesting magic system, an absolute gem of a main character, and a school setting - couldn't be better. Book 2 is already out, but I think I'm going to give it a month or two before reading just to savor this one a little longer. Highly recommend!
