It was simple, yet thought provoking and had a very positive message.<br /><br />This is the second time I've read (well, listened to) Ready Player One. I'm not a gamer or a sci-fi fan, but there's just something about this book that I love. I love the uniqueness of the story and, of course, all the 80s references.<br /><br />Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-87975435001378035532018-04-13T10:39:59.062-04:002018-04-13T10:39:59.062-04:00The Running Dream sounds really good!

LOL!<br /><br />That's not good when you can't remember what a book is about, not even the basic premise. I've had a few books like that, books that made zero impression on me.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-25101395852962393432018-04-10T22:03:32.024-04:002018-04-10T22:03:32.024-04:00I thought The Couple Next Door was like thriller &...I thought The Couple Next Door was like thriller "light".

I've had very good luck with Kristin Hannah so far, so I'm hoping to continue the streak with The Great Alone.<br /><br />I'm not sure (about the missing baby part). I don't have kids, so I just took it as face value and didn't thing anything beyond it being fiction. I guess it could go either way.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-42576837562340933342018-04-10T21:52:56.972-04:002018-04-10T21:52:56.972-04:00It thought it was and am very glad I stumbled upon...It thought it was and am very glad I stumbled upon it.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-5446651795324431942018-04-10T21:42:17.190-04:002018-04-10T21:42:17.190-04:00Yes, it wasn't very academic, but it was enjoy...Yes, it wasn't very academic, but it was enjoyable enough. :)Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-40093248773224440412018-04-10T21:38:42.027-04:002018-04-10T21:38:42.027-04:00I stumbled upon it for Erin's challenge.

I may try it though, since I already have it. Have you read "MWF seeking BFF: My Year Long Search For a New Best Friend"?
