Waking up on the Wrong Side of 50 
Your commitment to reading a diverse cross section of books every month is always very impressive. I’m still slogging along with only the second book I’ve read all month. It started out great, and then got tedious. But I don’t like to stop reading.

I don’t stop either…even if it takes awhile. I admit, I can see my genres limiting as my reading numbers go down. Presently I’m in the mood for memoir/essays, women’s fiction and positivity self help books. Then book club always throws in something else

It’s very positive forward, but she does a good job of explaining that life is not always unicorns and rainbows. It was written during pandemic, so it has that side to it

You’re doing great! I’ve been thinking that with summer coming closer, reading will slow for me too. Guess we’ll see. Have a great weekend. ❤️

You certainly do get through a number of books! I’ve read only Burnt Sugar from your list, and didn’t really like it much. That’s been my experience with most of these winners/shortlisted authors.
I’m reading Georgette Heyer this week and enjoying every bit of it. I don’t like the Mills and Boon or the Barbara Cartland kind of swooning females books. I love Heyer s heroines, her language and her humour. Light reading, yes, and very enjoyable.

I hated every single character in Burnt Sugar. But aside from that, I thought the book contained a lot of insightful one line quotes…things that made me stop, or think. However, I don’t think a bunch of good sentences make up a book
