I read Jen Sincero's You Are a Badass at Making Money. I really like the overall intention of the book (abundance mindset) because I have a lot of work to do in that area. I did cringe at some of the suggestions (like she borrowed $85,000 for a life coach in a leap of faith ) I do believe that if you set an intention you can make it happen because I have seen it so many times when we were needing money for bills. I would always find some off the wall way to get it. Now I need to channel that into thriving instead of surviving lol. Overall it has me motivated so i will take it!

It’s getting better. But I’m at about 60%. It shouldn’t take that long to get me interested.

I finally finished the Karin Slaughter book. I read a few of the 1 star reviews and there are several people who are big fans of hers that have said this isn’t her best work at all. Some even saying it’s like she didn’t write it.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz is both heartbreaking and beautiful. I’m getting choked up right now just thinking about it. I’m considering changing my goodreads 2018 vote from The Great Alone to The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
This story was written by a person who interviewed one of the main characters. She retold his story. It’s about love and survival. Wow!

jedi I just saw your goodreads comment. As a heads up it starts rough with a train car full of dead/dying infants. But once that’s past it’s hooked me for sure - I’m only about 10% into it.

Good to know. I had another friend read Before We Were Yours. She said that it changed her life but that she won’t recommend it because it’s too sad. She cried through most of it. Just a heads up on that. It’s a story based off a lady who would steal kids and sell them on the black market. I think this one was in your list.

jedi I wish I didn’t read everything everything. I have not raged from a book in a long time (or ever?). I just can’t even with the ending. Awful. Just awful. (Can you tell I just finished it and it’s still fresh?!)

Loved the great alone!
The idea had the potential to be so boring honestly but I couldn't put it down.

(Can you tell I just finished it and it’s still fresh?!) I figured that ending out at some point, did you know it’s a movie too? I just saw your rating and I laughed. I gave it 2 stars. Another friend gave it 4 and thought it was cute. Did you do audio? I did.

Another friend gave it 4 and thought it was cute. Did you do audio? I did. I audioed. It’s the same narrator as the hate you give so that was confusing at first. How could anyone find it cute? I didn’t accept the ending as happy bc she found love. Bc: 1) how unrealistic that love story was and 2) (more importantly) she was lied to and held prisoner for 18 yrs.. But sure, gloss over that and all the psychological and health problems and forgive mom like NBD. Pass. No 18 yr old walks out of that situation unscathed. I had a written review but deleted it from good reads bc it didn’t see appropriate.

Finally finished Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty. 2.5/5 stars. Anyone else typically a Moriarty fan? It’s been awhile since I’ve read one of her books but I thought I liked them. This one was kinda boring. Two of my friends read it and rated it 4/5 though. So maybe it’s just me. Although there are a few 1 star reviews by ppl who love her books but think this one fell short.

I’m hoping to finish The Alice Network today, Because I started working (I shop and delivery groceries some evening and weekends) it’s cut into my reading time. We also had a big fundraiser that I basically took the lead on for Isaacs school. That sucked a lot of my time too.

I saw your rating for this book and I took it off my library hold list. The author is hit or miss for me.
