That’s great … must be peace of mind – knowing your Mom is in a nice place with care & beautiful views. Pleased for you!

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is the only Schwab book I’ve read, but I LOVED it. So many of the rest of her books are a part of a series, and I generally don’t like series, but I may need to take a closer look.

I so agree with you abut the Ending of When No One is Watching and the last 15% got even worse! You were smart to quit on it, but it surprises me how many people loved it.

Thanks, so much Laurie. It’s always interesting when we put off reading a book and then end up loving it. Homegoing was definitely one of those for me.

Thanks so much, Susan. I;m glad my reviews are helpful to you.

We got the move done and my Mom’s new apartment is actually lovely, with beautiful views. It will be interesting to see how she does there. When we left, I think she was still in a little bit of shock.

I still need to read The Girl in the Mirror. My daughter is a fan of Schwab but I’m yet to read anything by her. It seems I should start with this one.

Wishing you a great reading week, and a safe return

The ending was gross and ridiculous. I can’t believe I even made it that far. The story was a mess. The author couldn’t seem to make up her mind what she wanted it to be–a thriller, a literary novel, or a social commentary. Kind of mad I wasted so much time reading it. It got fairly decent reviews on Goodreads, so I had a lot of hope for it.

I read When No One Is Watching in print, and really liked it. I felt that it was more literary fiction than thriller, though. I hope your mother adjusts well to her new situation and the transition is as smooth as possible for everyone.

It is not easy, I know. My folks are on the brink of that very same situation. We are waiting a bit but it might not be too far off. Thanks for the report on these books …. I would like to get to both of Yaa Gyasi’s novels (hopefully before the end of the year). Your reviews & thoughts always help me on what to pick up ahead of another book … take care.

I do hope you find a little time for reading. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
