Opening Skinner's Box by Lauren Slater

I almost didn't read this because I read the blurb and realized that I am already basically familiar with most of these experiments, but . . . this book was amazing. She doesn't just recount the experiments but provides excellent backstory and context. She also considers the philosophical implications of the experiments. And she is a truly gifted writer. So this one is highly, highly recommended.

This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel

I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a book this much. Wickedly funny, thought-provoking, and with a big heart. I'm off to see what else Frankel has written . . .

Right Behind You by Lisa Gardner

There's a fine line between "interesting plot twist" and "way, way too convoluted" and this book crossed that line.

Harmony by Carolyn Parkhurst

I really, really enjoyed this.

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

I really, really enjoyed this. I kept anticipating what would happen next and I kept being wrong. That was a good thing.

My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella

Ack, normally I love Kinsella for funny, romantic fluff, but this book did not deliver. Characters didn't quite gel, plot didn't quite work.
