I finished: A Man Called Ove - really enjoyed it Ugly Love - enjoyed this one too! I have noticed I’m a bit prude (?) and don’t really love reading about sex scenes. The Perfect Couple - good!
Debating whether to start a Colleen Hoover book. People fawn over her SO much that I feel like I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but so be it. I might also start the sequel to The Hazel Wood (The Night Country).
I've come to accept I just don't care for most of her books. I liked the first two I read so I was excited that I found a new author that I loved, but every single book after was just okay, some were awful. I did really like November 9, but I'm probably never picking up one of her books again.

November 9 is one that actually looks kind of intriguing.

I am re-reading a book from my childhood "The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler" by E.L. Konigsburg. A nice little read as I wait on my other books from the Library.
Will start "The Seamstress of New Orleans" later this weekend.

I read that to my son a few years ago. I had never read it before and I really liked it. I could definitely live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art!!

I just finished The Kissing Bug by Daisy Hernandez which is part memoir, part narrative non-fiction, part investigative journalism. It is about a parasite that infects humans through the bite of a "kissing bug;" these bugs are native to parts of the South, Mexico, and Central and South America. Almost everyone in the US with kissing bug disease is an immigrant from Latin America and the book discusses the lack of access to healthcare for patients and the lack of education on the part of doctors to recognize the disease, all of which lead to bad outcomes for a treatable illness.
I like books that mix genres like this one and this disease was something I had never heard of before. Over all a fairly quick but interesting read.
