I figured those would pique your interest :) I'll be interested to see what you have to say about them, especially the two YA ones.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

It's a compelling mystery about a really interesting woman! I hope you enjoy it if you read it.

Thanks for stopping by, Christopher!

I've used Goodreads for a long time, but I haven't used it FREQUENTLY until the last few years when I started joining the GR reading challenge every year. I wish I would have been more diligent in previous years because I like seeing all my stats. Oh well.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

I hope you enjoyed! It's an engrossing story and Constance Kopp is a fascinating person. I'd love to read a non-fiction book about her life, but this mystery is really fun. I need to read the rest of the series!

Thanks for stopping by!

THE IMPERFECTS isn't as witty or as quirky as Knives Out, but it has similar themes. It's enjoyable in its own way. It did remind me of Knives Out, though.

GIRL WAITS WITH GUN is a good on, too. It definitely reads like fiction. Like I said above, though, I wouldn't mind reading a non-fiction version. Constance Kopp fascinates me!

RECURSION is a good one. I enjoyed it, but I haven't reviewed it. Yet.

Thanks for stopping by, Leslie!

Ha ha. It's a good one! I had to wait for it at the library, but it was definitely worth it :)

Thanks for coming by!

I hope you found a title or two to pique your interest :)

Thanks for stopping by, Diane!

It's a really fun read. Light and entertaining. Just what you need sometimes!

Thanks for coming by, Lectrice!

Me neither! It's sort of an obscure book, but it's a really good one, so I'm glad it's getting a little love today :)

Thanks for stopping by, Nicky!

You are much more self-disciplined than I am, Carla! I am ALWAYS behind on reviewing. In fact, I've been known to post 3-4 reviews a day at the end of the year so that I can start anew in the new year. Ha ha.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Carla!

I'll be interested to see what you think of these two. Both of them are thoughtful books that made me think. They're not slow stories either, just the kind that give you pause. I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

It's the only one I've read by them as well. I need to check out their backlist.

Thanks for stopping by, Leslie!

Ha ha. Everybody seems to enjoy THE UNHONEYMOONERS! And no wonder, it's a super fun book.

Thanks for coming by, Rebeca!

I've really enjoyed Chamberlain's last two books. I need to read more from her backlist.

Thanks for stopping by, Iliana!

I haven't been reading as much YA lately as I used to, but I usually read a dozen or so every year.

The Lowry book is a good place to start. It's a really short, easy read, but it's one that really stays with you. I'll be interested to see if it has the same affect on you that it did on me.

Thanks for coming by, Debra!

Oh, good, I'm glad you found a couple titles to pique your interest. Definitely come back and let me know what you think of them!

Thanks for stopping by, Laurie!

Right? I laughed all the way through it!

Thanks for coming by, Colleen!

Diabetes is mentioned occasionally, here and there, but I've never encountered a main character in fiction with the disease. I think it's especially important to have Type 1 Diabetes representation in children's fiction since it's a common disease among kids and one that is not well understood. A side character dealing with the disease is a good start since diabetes, especially in a child, really does affect their whole family.

Thanks for stopping by, Sabrina!

It's a great book, isn't it? I need to keep on with the series. I can't wait to see what Constance and her sisters get up to next!

Thanks for coming by!

I know what you mean—TTT is seriously dangerous for my already miles-long TBR list! I love learning about new books every week, though. It's just fun.

And, I agree, it looks like we enjoy similar books/authors. We should definitely stay in touch :)

Thanks for stopping by, Terrie!

It's a fun book, isn't it? I don't read enough light, entertaining books, so THE UNHONEYMOONERS was a treat!

Thanks for coming by, Lisa!

Awesome! I'm stuck on several Nerd Daily prompts and on a bunch of states. Why are no books set in Arkansas?? I'd love suggestions - I don't have any ideas for N.D. or R.I. I'll stop by and see what you did for those. Thanks!

Wow, that's awesome! I'm glad you liked my list :)

Thanks for coming by, Jawahir!

I did enjoy it. It's not my usual genre, but I'd heard good things and it did not disappoint! I hope you enjoy it as well :)

Thanks for stopping by, Nicole!

Nine? Really? That's awesome! I'm so glad all these appeal. I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for coming by, Kennedy!

Well, I still have those completist urges because I always find myself rushing to post reviews at the end of the year so I can start the new one fresh. I just need to be better about keeping up with them throughout the rest of the year. So, I need YOU to teach me your excellent self-discipline techniques!

Yes, I've probably mentioned all of these here at one time or another. Even if you don't like verse, you may still like the Lowry memoir. It's written for children, so the verse is fairly straightforward, not all abstract and artsy-fartsy. It is deceptively simple, though. If you read BEYOND THE HORIZON, be sure to come back and let me know what you think of it.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, RS!

Yeah? I can see it not being everyone's cup of tea. That's okay. Different strokes for different folks.

I hope you enjoy THE IMPERFECTS!

Thanks for stopping by, Carol!

Oooh, I'll be interested to hear what you all think of GIRL WAITS WITH GUN. I think you'll enjoy it. Like I said, THE SPLIT might be my favorite Bolton novel so far. I'll be interested to hear what you think of it as well.

I love that you've kept a book journal for so long. I wish I had thought to keep one throughout the years. It would have been fun to look back and see what I was reading five years ago, ten years ago, fifteen, etc.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kay!

It's unique, isn't it? And it perfectly captures the book, too.

Thanks for stopping by, Heather!

I feel that, too. I also sometimes think I've already written a full review after I just write a quick one on Goodreads! Book blogging can be confusing :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

I hope it does! It's a good read that takes about some important subjects without getting too heavy for its middle grade audience. I liked it a lot.

Thanks for stopping by, Barb!
