The Women – Kristin Hannah writes great books. This is set during Vietnam and the women who went, but the real narrative is how hard it was for a new generation of women who were trying to make their mark separate from the 50s housewife.

Sputnik Sweetheart – It’s Not my favorite Murakami book, but it’s still a Murakami book.  My faves are really Norwegian Wood and the Wind Up Bird Chronicle.

The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession – An obsession with art can be dangerous. Bringing home the objects that lounge in small museums so you can live among the works yourself makes for an interesting read.

The Bee Sting – Although a very long book, I opted in. It begins with a bee sting to describe this Irish family saga. Each character is interesting, and each has their own struggles. I was all in until the last chapter; I hated the ending. It took me a few days to recover.

The Reformatory – The horrors of racial injustice never end. I could not put this book down.
