Love a book list! You definitely put Knife River on my radar. I’m anxious to try it.

Great list! I am adding Lady In Waiting, I Will Ruin You, The Reunion and One Perfect Couple to my TBR. Also, i just learned about The Hazelburn Motorcycle and Flying Club and an Oprah pick called Long Island. Happy reading.

Yay! I started Lady in Waiting on audio and I'm intrigued. I've chucked a couple time and I definitely think audio is the way to go, the narrator is awesome with accents and voices

Cannot wait to finish reading the two books that I’m currently reading so I can start it. 😆

I loved her first book. I just added this book to my wishlist on Audible this morning.

This will be my first. Probably a good one to do on audio!

Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand is one of her best. It is probably on my top 10 books of all times favorite. I think you would really enjoy that.

The book that I just suggested is about an older gentleman who is a widower. It is about aging and finding love after 60. It is so good and humorous. Not laugh out loud funny but make you chuckle.

You had me at White Lotus! 🙌 Excited to hear what you think of this one on audio, Renee!

What a good pitch right?! So far I'm into the audio- it's different but the narrator has me invested in the characters

Love to hear it! I wondered if you were reading Long Island? It almost made this list but I'm in the mood for a faster pace than what I think that would be....Oprah just picked it as her book club pick though so I may give it a try sooner than I thought

I’m going to read Brooklyn first. I thought I saw the movie but I’m not quite sure. Better to read it first I guess since Long Island is the sequel. I believe LI is out today. There are a couple of back list I have to read so I’m prepared for the upcoming books. 📚

I love a reunion book and that was one I hadn’t heard it. I’m also really interested in the Challenger book. That tragedy happened on my birthday when I was a kid and of course, like most folks my age, we were watching it. Knife River also sounds really good.

I love a reunion too- and I remember being in 8th grade social studies class and watching the Challenger launch and all of us just being shocked. I can still remember that day so vividly

I started with No Time For Goodbye and I think that was a great one to start with - others I've loved are A Noise Downstairs, Trust your Eyes, Find You First. Take Your Breath Away was entertaining but I didn't love it like I loved the others - keep me updated:)
