News of the World by Paulette Jiles

Another good read that didn't hook me.  Interesting story and characters, but I felt like I knew how it would end way before it ended!

Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner

I have never read Stegner so checked this out.  I started out with keen interest, but I have to say, my interest waned as I went along. Not sure why. The writing is fabulous, the locale was Madison, WI, so that was a plus, too.
Maybe I just was not in the mood. But I will also read Angle of Repose soon, since that was my goal.

🌟 Writers and Lovers by Lily King

Another great book about writers and writing. I just loved this and breezed through it quickly.   The writing is great the story engrossing and the main character, so real! I didn't know this author and want to read more!
