2 ?s. Make it 3
Look at big little lies by liane moriarty. Anne Lamott who I've never loved but know is a pretty big deal gave a good review. And the book for some reason keeps popping up wherever I am looking. Question number two the ann Quinnland book breadcrumbs do you guys love her I only liked that one book by her the one about cancer. Tried a few others one was called black and blue did not dig it and I lied third question along time ago we listed like authors that you couldn't live without I think you listed 10 or 12 one of you I think listed Ann beatie and I may have asked you this already I apologize what book by should I read I tried her long before I met you and I and I didn't take to it but there's got to be a great book by her. Probably more than one if you listed her. I really loved that because ome of You listed faith Sullivan whoo had not thought of in years and Sandra I can think of her last name but authors that I think we came to discover together and read voraciously..

Karin slaughter
Okay so when I recommend crime books to friends i usually insist that that they start with the first book and do it in order but I know if I do that with the two of you you do the exact opposite because that's in your nature. So she wrote this amazing series that she ended after five or six books amazingly but I won't start you there I'll start you with criminal. I loved criminal. If you ever decide to do the first series you will be blown away by the chutzpah that she had to close up the first series the way that she did. People were up in arms. I stuck up for her. I'm not sure if I love criminal so much because you got to the character so well and then went back in time but great place to start if you don't want to read everyone of her books in order
Book for Adam
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part time Indian.
Get it audio...it is read by the author Sherman Alexie. But then get the book to look at the drawings.
Your visit.

A gate at the stairs. A lot like me dare I say.
I tried to read this years ago. I love her. Lorrie Moore but could not get into it. I am loving the audio. So funny in a subtle and cerebral way. A lot like me dare I say!

Sorry. But you may want to put this on your list. I fear I may never read again. I'm so aural.

Bark. As read by the author lorrie Moore
I plan to take a 4 year sabbatical to study with lorrie Moore at Vanderbilt I know you have always thought of me as a son and will be willing the loan me the money for my 1/2 of the mortgage My schooling needs including tuition room board food and fun money. A student needs to destress. I promise to pay you back even though u don't want me too when I win the Booker. The whotebread. The Pulitzer. And the Nobel peace prize for novel. Vigil. As a side note. My new teacher whom I am sure to become a muse for has done a wonderful job with bark. Dry and humourous like Tyler. All if her books should be titled like life with numbers after them. I will discuss this with her as our roles reverse Thanks again. 500,000.00 should be a good start!👯👯👯

The good luck of right now.
Abit sentimental and predictable but WOW. Really enjoyed it. Plan on reading silver linings before I see it. This made me think of Saint Maybe which I have a vague recollection of and there is probably no similarity. Maybe because Saint was in. The title and there is Catholicism and Buddhism discussed... It's been so long since I've gotten through a Tyler Does she bring Christianity into her books? In a backstory way?
