The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher

Good Memoir Before Her Passing
I felt a connection to Carrie reading this. I've not really read anything else of hers but she has a wonderful, personable writing style. Her stories were interesting and filled with her cynical sense of humor. Highly recommend this book, especially knowing we won't have another from her.

Bless the Beasts and Children by Glendon Swarthout
4.0
Great coming of age story. This is my third time reading this and it would be an excellent film (there is one but it sucks, just bad direction/filming). The boys are funny and broken and make a great disjointed band of Bedwetters (the name of their cabin). Very easy, light read and worth every page.
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
4.0
Excellent Classic Mystery
This was a completely engrossing mystery. Agatha Christie is a wonderful writer that really knows how to draw in the reader. It was wonderfully enjoyable, can't wait to read the next Poirot story.

Excellent New Play
A must read new work. The dialogue is snappy and witty! I loved every second of it! I cannot wait to see a performance!

Circe by Madeline Miller
4.0
A Love Letter to the Classics
Circe is a highly entertaining and immensely enjoyable telling of Greek myths we love. It draws inspiration from The Iliad and The Odyssey and gives a new perspective on the tales. I also believe there is some ideas taken from The Metamorphoses. It was a fun read and I could hardly put it down.
