1. Not much competition given my current reading rate, but really enjoyed this one.
2. Paper!
3. Literary Fiction
pickI can't imagine a more surreal upbringing than being born in LA during the Golden Age of Hollywood, coming of age through the death of the studio system, and being there in your 20s for the height of rock and roll and the hippies, let alone going to school at Hollywood High, having artist parents, and literal Igor Stravinsky as your godfather. This is a fun book beginning to end, and Babitz is a fantastic natural writer, the sort of person 👇
pickLaura moved to LA to escape a controlling family and make a new start at Grad school. She‘s made homeless within one week and still dealing with past trauma. Enter Polly and Nina who befriend her and welcome her with open arms into their friendship circle. They accept her and protect her.
Such a warm, funny and heart warming story. I loved all the main characters. Each housemate was quirky in their own way and should have their own stories 4🌟
Another intense story involving Detective Elouise Norton as she navigates a thorny homicide case and her thorny personal life. #serieslove2024
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ I always look forward to Waxman‘s books, and this was decent, though not my fave of hers. Am I wrong for saying this has Crocodile Hunter vibes with a spin? A famous animal enthusiast father thought dead turns up alive, and chaos pretty much ensues. I listened to this in one day while painting my kids‘ game room, so definitely entertaining, even if it‘s not her strongest effort, IMO.
