I read 54 books in 2023. Following are the last few I have not yet mentioned.
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
Award winning author Joan Didion writes about navigating life after her husband’s sudden death during their daughter’s illness. I like Didion’s writing style. It felt as if she were in the room telling me her story.
The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley
An 84-year-old lady and her college dropout minder make a run for it. Exactly why they are running is not immediately clear to the minder or the reader. It was cute.
Olivia Strauss Is Running Out of Time by Angela Brown
Olivia finds out the date of her last day on Earth. She has some living to do, and sets out to do it. It was very entertaining.
Bittersweet by Colleen McCollough
Four sisters set out to become nurses in Australia after WWI. It was good.
The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand
Two families gather on Nantucket for a wedding weekend. On the morning of the wedding, the bridesmaid is found dead on the beach by the bride herself. Many questions arise before they are finally answered. It was good.
Penelope in Retrograde by Brooke Adams
A woman trepidatiously comes home for Thanksgiving for the first time in many years. It doesn't help that she shares an awkward and unexpected ride share with her ex-husband. I enjoyed it.
Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty
A soon to be limited series on Peacock, the book tells the story of the Delaney family. After the wife goes missing, the community has theories about what has happened to her. Which one is true? The answer is surprising. It was very good.
See y’all next week.
MK out.
