I read The Stand several years ago and really thought it was great. Have read several others on your 2025 list.
One I just finished is The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley. My book club read it and we have a lively discussion on it. A fun book! I’d definitely recommend it to you!

Hi Sue, so sorry for late response! Just finally coming up for air from being gone so long and getting to my emails.

I’m just halfway through The Stand, it’s a doozy of a book. I fear/feel all the yucky stuff is getting ready to happen soon 😯, so we will see… I will definitely share my thoughts, though I am enjoying it thus far!

And do share your finished Argyle Baby Blanket! I love that pattern.

Highly recommend 11/22/63 book. I read because of other reviews, but glad I did! It expanded my historical knowledge and entertained. I, too discussed with others afterwards.

Hi Lynn. I just finished 11/63 also! Found it very good and being a girl of the 50’s, graduated high school 1958, I loved all the references to that era. I read The Stand years ago. I had a hard time with it so I’ll be anxious for your review. It’s heavy. Have a wonderful trip!
PS. Working on the argyle baby blanket. A lovely pattern, thanks.

In reply to Penny.

Hi Penny,

Twenty books since January 1? Wow! That’s amazing. And thanks for the book suggestions, they both sound right up my alley. And Cormoran Strike is probably my current literary crush. I’m all caught up on those books, just need her to write another one!

Maybe I’ll have to include my audiobooks in my book count! I mean, I don’t see why not? Right?

Thank again for the book suggestions!

Hugs, Lynn

Lynn,
My daughter-in-law came for Christmas and buried herself in reading to finish fifty books in 2024. She made it between audio and reading. I was curious to see how many books I read so I have been keeping track since January 1st. So far I’m on 20!!! I had no idea. I loved all the CB Strike books and tv series. Lately I’m on Anne Hillerman books that follow in her famous father’s footsteps. She’ll have me speaking Navajo if I try a little harder. Laurie R King also writes great books in the vien of Sherlock Holmes. He’s married his apprentice beekeeper (many years younger) and they solve mysteries. I was very doubtful she could come close to the original sleuth but she’s pretty good. Each series is best read in order. Penny

Hi, Lynn, I need to make a recommendation for The Women. I thought it was excellent as did others who read it. My librarian and I had the same thought when we finished it; what are we going read next that will be as good. I learned so much. The true events I believe were well researched and the fictionalized were a plot device to move it along. (I’m no expert on writing but that is what I thought.). I hope once you get through the beginning pages it will get better for you. As a former nurse I’m perhaps biased but I loved it.
