I signed up for the goodreads 2017 Reading Challenge for some extra motivation to stick with my reading goal this year. For what will probably only happen once this year, I am "ahead of schedule"!
Quick reviews:
I have followed Doyle on Twitter for awhile, but hadn't previously read much of per published work. She's a good writer - witty, engaging, and thought-provoking. This book is excellent, and I highly recommend it.
Adnan's Story by Rabia Chaudry
If you loved Serial and haven't listened to Undisclosed, go do that and then read this book. There is a lot more about and from Adnan here and helped me connect to this case in a new way (which after so many hours of investment is saying something).
All the Single Ladies by Rebecca Traister
I married "later" and as a result have spent most of my adult life as a single lady. This book validates both roads.
Traister references a multitude of other works (fiction and non-fiction), including Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the Single Girl. I had heard of Gurley Brown, but didn't know that she was born in my very own Arkansas. A new biography of Gurley Brown, Enter Helen: The Invention of Helen Gurley Brown and the Rise of the Modern Single Woman, is now on my "to read" list.
Finding Fraser by kc dyer
This book is for Outlander fans. As someone who recently traveled to Scotland (and visited several Outlander locations), I simultaneously enjoyed and was annoyed by these references. Overall this is a fun and light-hearted read. It uses Outlander as a jumping-off point; this is not an ode to the storyline (thank goodness).
Prada and Prejudice by Katie Oliver
I will admit that I've read a lot of Jane Austen spin offs. This one is not the best nor the worst; just a fun, silly, quick, take your mind off the world crashing around you read. Because we need those.
