I am currently reading https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36430011-you .
They made a series on Netflix called You which is not as good as the book, but honestly what film is truly is as good as any written book?
Is it good?

I did read a number of books in 2020 that I didn't get to reviewing, my last read of the year was 'Memorial Drive' a memoir by Natasha Tretheway Pulitzer prize winners story of her mothers abusive marriage and her mothers death at the hands of her step father.

Ssej1078 I have holds at our e library for both The Princess Diarist and You, as well as Ellies Orphan Collector. Reminded me of another book I have read that should be a must read in this troubled world of ours In The Garden of Beasts: Love Terror and an American Family in Hitler's Germany By William Door the first ambassador to Germany. Hopefully we see to a better year in 2021.

Just started "The Children's Blizzard" by Melanie Benjamin which takes place in the late 1800s in Dakota Terrority when a blizzard flew in at the end of the school day -- historical fiction with some true information that happened on that day. It is the story of two teachers who had to save the children and themselves. I think this will be a good read.

I also read "Memorial Drive" which was well written and a gripping story.
