Hi Peas Who Read!
I didn't see a thread started last night so I'd thought I would start one for us.
Two for me this week:
First off, that oldie but "supposed to be goodie" The Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Suzanne. I'm doing a trial month of Oyster (this is a subscription service like Netflix but it's for e-books) and it was in there. I really really hated it
and don't get why this was such a hit in the sixties. I guess because it's so very smutty and it was pretty scandalous when it was first published. It's not even good smut, it's just cheesy stupid smut (this is my opinion, I apologize if you love this book). I finally stopped at around 150 pages.
Second was another book from Oyster, Jodie Picoult's The Storyteller which I know many Peas read when it first came out last year. I LOVED this book but the ending was a bit abrupt. It's about a young female artisan baker who befriends an elderly customer who claims he is a former member of the Nazi SS. I usually can't read a lot of Jodie Picoult because so many of her books are too similar but this one was the best one I've read since The Plain Truth.
Okay, let's hear what YOU read this week!
well damn...sorry paigepea, I found your thread in the middle of page 2
