Ha! No, I'm glad you liked Apples Never Fall and The Sea of Lost Girls. I did attend a fun discussion of The Sun Down Motel the other day. That one was a little spooky for some of the group members, but they liked it well enough. Me, I liked it a lot!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-16418503520215919572021-10-21T18:45:57.151-05:002021-10-21T18:45:57.151-05:00Bummer that you didn't love APPLES NEVER FALL....Bummer that you didn't love APPLES NEVER FALL.

I think that's why I loved 'reader advisory' so much when working at the library. So much fun to find a book that 'speaks' to a reader.

Hooray! The only Moriarty book I've read was Big Little Lies and I enjoyed it so much. The Husband's Secret is on my kindle and I'd like to read What Alice Forgot, too. From the reviews I've read, readers seem to be split on her new book.<br /><br />Haven't read any of the other books or authors. Hope you enjoy your new library book club. I'm still waiting to hear when the group I was going to here will start up again.
