Adored this book that my daughter recommended me. A love story of a woman on the autism spectrum and the challenges and joys she experiences. Takes place in the early 2000s and flashes back to the early 90s.

DID NOT FINISH: 78%

I wanted to love this book, but each of the main characters annoyed me. Each was a caricature of person - exaggerating their worst traits and giving them very little good to balance them. 

I liked the premise of the story, but not the execution. It would have benefitted from some strong editing. 
informative reflective sad medium-paced

The story of the Beatles intertwined with the assassination of John Lennon. Compelling and tragic. Couldn't stop listening to it.

Very cute romance with a pen-pal-ish trope. I adore books about books and this one had me smiling. Nice easy read.

Dystopian future where a parasitic alien species invades the world. There's a small group of uninfected humans. Drama ensues.

Audiobook included with audible. It's told like a radio play, no narrator just multiple cast members. It's a strange story, only 3 hours. Dark stuff and murder

Absolutely adored this audiobook romance. Often books read by the author aren't as good as tower narrated by a professional narrator. But when the author IS a professional narrator (and an excellent author) you get the best of both worlds.

I read the first book in this series years ago and had really enjoyed it. This sequel was engaging also. I would love to know how representative this book was of the Anasazi people.
