GKU book club is reading Amy Poehler's Yes Please. I really enjoyed The Fifth Wave series of you're into that genre. I just started the third book. I also have After You on my list since it's the sequel to Me Before You. If you didn't read Me Before You with us for book club, I would recommend that. I fell in love with the characters and really got attached to the story which I love in a book.

I've been reading Chevy Chase's book Still Missing. It's a thriller about a woman who was abducted but still doesn't feel safe a year after her return (and that's about all I can say without spoiling anything). It's been a nice read.
I am definitely following this thread. My kindle died, so I got a Paperwhite on Prime Day.
I started Notorius RBG and enjoyed what I read, but it's slow going and I lost my library rental before I could finish.
We read The Red Tent for book club, in case you weren't here back then. I loved it, but it can be a little triggery.
Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson is fantastic. If you haven't read her first book, Let's Pretend This Never Happened, start there.
Attachments The Rosie Project Room - very triggery
Haha yes I was here for Red Tent. I've been here for 2.5 years of GKU book club! I almost always read the books but unfortunately never find time to participate in the discussions. I iz a bad book club friend :-(
- Bittersweet - about a young woman starting in the restaurant business in NYC. It was terrific, especially if you've ever worked in that industry.
- In the Woods and The Likeness - these are by Tana French, part of a mystery series (although they can stand alone too). About detectives in Ireland. Kind of creepy, very entertaining.
- A Mother's Reckoning - this is by one of the Columbine shooter's mother. As you can imagine, it's extremely heavy but very well written. She's an advocate for mental health and suicide prevention now and her story is worth reading.

There are some serious trigger warnings for this book. Just FYI. Also, it's Chevy Stevens, not Chevy Chase

Hahaha I need a nap. I'm going to leave it like that because it's funny. And yes, good point about the TWs, I am pretty far past a lot of that stuff so I forgot.

Haha, I was thinking that seemed like an awfully heavy subject matter for Chevy Chase
Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series Sue Grafton Alphabet series Catherine Coulter FBI Series
Have you read the Fox and O'Hare series by Evanovich? I've read the first two (the Chase/The Heist) and it was really good. There's 2 more books out that I need to get.

mustloveerica , I'm a bad book club member, too. I read most of the books and never participate in the discussions either!
I'm currently reading Find Your Extraordinary by Jessica Dilullo Herrin. I love her 6P's: Passion, Path, Positivity, People, Perseverance, and Productivity, and how you can use these things to create a life that is extraordinary for you, no matter if your end goal is to be a successful CEO or open your own business or stay at home with your kiddos.
For work I'm reading Getting Things Done: the art of stress-free productivity by David Allen. My boss loves his organizational techniques and is having the whole staff read the book. (Even though I'm already probably the most organized person on the planet.)
Next up on my list is #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso.

I'm currently reading two..
1. Mastering Your Mean Girl: The No-BS Guide to Silencing Your Inner Critic and Becoming Wildly Wealthy, Fabulously Healthy, and Bursting with Love - By Melissa Ambrosini
2. The Soul Searcher's Handbook: A Modern Girl's Guide to the New Age World - By Emma Mildon
While more of like self help read vs fiction and literature, these books are awesome! I totally recommend them to anyone wanting to improve on their self love and self care routines
Currently reading "Don't you cry" by Mary Kubica - mystery/suspense book. A few recent favorites have been The Nightingale (Kristin Hannah) and Bull Mountain (Brian Panowich).

jax1182014 I liked Big Little Lies. I've read a few of her books and generally enjoy them as easy/quick reads. I can't remember which one is which right now, but a couple are a little triggery just FYI.
I'm enjoying the thread! Many good suggestions!
I'm reading "yes please" now and have "the good girl" and "girl on a train" on standby. I just finished "A man called Ove" but I didn't love it...despite the fact that it made me tear up a couple times. It just took me a long time to get through it.

I downloaded the Chevy Stevens book last night and wait listed a ton more from my library. I have to say I'm already hooked on that book. It's pretty triggery and brutal but I'm already half way thru.

I've gotta say, I read The Good Girl and absolutely hated it even though I normally like those kinds of books. I'd be interested to hear what you think when you're done! Love love LOVED Girl on a Train, though.
