I have only been keeping up on Goodreads. GR says I have finished 31 so far this year, and I am working on 2 with kids, a missionary biography, and The Outsiders.
I'm also using goodreads to follow my books. I am on book 36 Amazonia by James Rollins
I am supposed to be reading Night Road by Kristin Hannah. But ... Better World Books screwed up my order and, although I got 4 books in my shipment, they are not the 4 titles I ordered. Argh! Trying to sort through it with BWB (the first shipping error from them ever), but not sure I'll have time to finish my September book club book.
I just started Little Women.
I have wanted to re-read it for years now.
I will not be at my September book club meeting so took it as a chance to read something I want to!
Their book is American Dirt.

I've read American dirt. I wasn't aware of the controversy around it when I was reading it. I really liked that book (thought the ending was poor though). I learnt a lot from it as it made me research things from the book.
I'm currently reading There There by Tommy Orange. Learning a lot about Indigenous Americans, although its mostly sad
Have you ever read Little Men? Our 4th grade teacher read some of it everyday after lunch/recess. I looked so forward to it each day. Such a good book. I think that will be my next book.
I just finished listening to ‘Emma’. Never read it before … loved the English accent … but whew … a lot of words and phrases from that period which is cool and fascinating but also … long. I listened a little while then I felt like my brain had a workout. LOL I had watched a Hallmark movie based on Jane Austin. She’s like a ghost.
Whusky- I read There There.
The author now wrote a prequel to it.
Jody- I never read Little Men.
Annie

Oh wow I didn't know that! I'll have to have a look for it, as I'm really enjoying There There. What did you think of it?
Little Men is great. Its subtitle is Life at Plumfield with Jo's Boys. I laughed a lot at the book as a mom of boys and many nephews.

Greenwich Park by Catherine Faulkner
Helen’s idyllic life—handsome architect husband, gorgeous Victorian house, and cherished baby on the way (after years of trying)—begins to change the day she attends her first prenatal class and meets Rachel, an unpredictable single mother-to-be. Rachel doesn’t seem very maternal: she smokes, drinks, and professes little interest in parenthood. Still, Helen is drawn to her. Maybe Rachel just needs a friend. And to be honest, Helen’s a bit lonely herself. At least Rachel is fun to be with. She makes Helen laugh, invites her confidences, and distracts her from her fears.
But her increasingly erratic behavior is unsettling. And Helen’s not the only one who’s noticed. Her friends and family begin to suspect that her strange new friend may be linked to their shared history in unexpected ways. When Rachel threatens to expose a past crime that could destroy all of their lives, it becomes clear that there are more than a few secrets laying beneath the broad-leaved trees and warm lamplight of Greenwich Park.

Whusky- I liked it. Interesting to read about other's lives.
I know the author got a lot of praise for it.
