This is such a good book. We had older family members that would tell us about the 1918 pandemic from their early childhood memories. This book painted a vivid picture of the horrors of the influenza outbreak and its impact on families and children.

"Olive Kitteridge" by Elizabeth Strout. I started this book a couple of times and finally realized I "needed" to read it so I could read all of Elizabeth Strouts books. I am glad that I did because I can now understand "her" as much as is possible. I am being a bit cryptic but still processing. I had to look again at the date it was published and her perspective on the president. Interesting.

"My Name is Lucy Barton" by Elizabeth Strout. I have read some wonderful books lately! After a few days with a fabulously twisty book with more secrets than most carry I read this today. I needed a little rest from drama which is usually where I seek Anna Quindlen. So happy to have a "small" book on my pile by one of my new favorites, Elizabeth Strout. I just love how she weaves her stories and some of the lessons you learn along the way.

"When Lemons Give You Life" by Anna Johnston. Took me 3 tries and then I connected and couldn't put it own. I had no idea what to expect, hadn't read this author before. A family with so many words left unsaid and misunderstood. Then it all comes together and makes sense. Some crying and some joy but I really wound up loving the book and look forward to reading her other.

"The Calamity Club" by Kathleen Stockett. Started a little slow but on recommendations from others I stuck with it and so happy I did. The character development was so interesting. Loved the lovable characters and didn't even like some of the others, as planned. Very much enjoyed the book, could it have been a bit shorter, I believe so. The way I looked at it was that it was 2 books in one. It would be wonderful to follow Meg's future as she was such an exceptional "person".
This is *The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett* - her first novel in 17 years since the global phenomenon _The…
"The Burning Side" by Sarah Damoff. After reading Sarah Damoff's "The Bright Years" and realizing it was a debut novel I was so thrilled to know she had another book already published, "The Burning Side" which I loved just as much. A story of a family, of secrets, love, pain with love being the most important. I was teary at times and worried. I wanted to write the ending myself all through the book. I could not put it down and now sad I don't have another day with "them". To say this may be my new favorite author. Can definitely say my favorite "new author". I look forward to everything she will write. I just LOVED it!
This is *The Burning Side by Sarah Damoff* - the bestselling author of _The Bright Years_. It came out *May…
"The Things We Never Say" by Elizabeth Strout. How a 200 page book could possibly have so much impact is beyond me. This is one of the most deeply moving books I have read in a long time, if ever. I have been so lucky recently to read some fantastic books, but this is indescribable. It made me think about things that I may not have spoken about, not being sure if there are those things. And the way the world and the political situation factors in to everything. That, I already knew but so succinctly described almost my own words. FIVE stars all the way and already have 2 more books by Elizabeth Strout in my TBR pile.
