Disgusting and appalling. I couldn't read past the first few pages. I do "get" edgy and provocative but I don't understand the point of this. It's gross and I don't need this kind of ugliness in my life.

When In Doubt, Add Butter by Beth Harbison
** 2 stars
This was okay. Seemed to jump around a lot but I wasn't the most engaged or attentive reader. Mostly just wanted to be done with it.

The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes
*** 3 stars
Another good tale from Moyes. On par with Last Letter from Your Lover with the romance and mystery across time periods but I did not like it quite as much as Me Before You (which I really loved).

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Book club choice for this month but I just can't get through it. I know I read this years ago when I was in high school or college. I must have been a much more patient reader back then. I suspect this one will be a dud for our book club participants.

This is Paradise by Kristiana Kahakauwila

I read all but one of these stories. Of course, I liked the Hawaii settings but the stories were generally a little too arty for me.

VJ - The Unplugged Adventures of MTV's First Wave
**** 4 stars
Fun and gossipy book about the early days of MTV. I was a big fan back in the day and it was amazing to me how much I remember about this new outlet for music. It was so revolutionary. It was fun to hear about what the VJs have been up to since then. Mark Goodman was really an arrogant jerk! The rest were about what I would have expected.

The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop and Cafe by Mary Simses
*** 3 stars
I thought this was a very charming romance with a cute setting. The term "cozy" is often used for mysteries and I used to really like cozy mysteries but not so much any more. But a nice cozy romance is something I'm more likely to enjoy now. The main character was kind of a dope and some of the situations seemed a little hard to buy, but it was pretty cute. I think this was the author's first book, I would certainly read another by her.
