I read about one-third of Out With the Tide (#18) and set it down. Meh. I may pick it up again in the near future. I'm about to start The Third Chapter (#4).

I've also read Nick of Time by Cathi Stoler. I'm also part way through Out of Time by the same author.

A World of Curiosities | Louise Penny

A co-worker brought me this one to read. New author for me to try and it does sound interesting. #15of2024

Cheryl_Russell_BookNotes Love this series. Louise Penny is an autobuy author for me. The only thing I would say is this is book #18 in the series. (Book 19 releases on Oct. 29th.) So you may be lost starting with this one. I read some out of order without realizing it, and I was confused while reading. They aren‘t really stand-alone novels. 🙂 5d

6th book read from the Women‘s Prize for fiction-long list
😬Sorry this one didn‘t work for me. I‘m not a fan of novels about sport even though the story has other topics. I wasn‘t interested in the story and I couldn‘t believe so decision made. 2.5/3⭐️

Interesting HF inspired by true event where a woman was sentenced to be executed in the maiden, a guillotine used at that time. The story fictionalized the life, affair and sentence this woman. Interesting but also a sad story. Trigger point, sexual and physical abuse. However I thought, why this novel was in the Women‘s Prize fiction long list? I‘m not an expert but author describes so well each character giving them an unique/different voice⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) I love this edition, so pretty! 3/3.5 ⭐️

#18 The third book in the Stormlight Archive series, this is the best of Sanderson‘s Cosmere series so far IMO, but was a long read at 1242 pages. Some humorous moments, some edge of the seat moments, and lots of flawed characters acting honorably at critical moments. 4.0⭐️ #2024

We finally finished this one! My husband and I started listening to this last July and will only listen to it during road trips.

Andy Serkis did a fantastic job but it's not easy to listen to this in a long sitting. We found ourselves constantly drifting with this one, which is not good for those who are driving. It was best to listen little by little.

This was a re-read for me but the hubby's first.

More than I ever thought I wanted to know about tennis, but through a great story about a fictional tennis star from the 70s-90s. Full of heart and wonderful. Carrie is def a b, as noted throughout, and hard to like but given her upbringing I get it. A tribute to all female athletes who blazed the hard fought trail!!! Book #18 in 2024
