I finished Bridgerton book 5, it was a bit predictable but a nice easy read. 

So now I've got two books to pick from, either Under The Dome by Stephen King or one I picked up from the book shelves in the office yesterday called Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell.  I think because the Stephen King one looks so daunting at 877 pages, I may go for the other one first lol

I have never read Lisa Jewell, but I have heard she's a good writer.

I'm finishing up a book called Strange Sally Diamond and it's pretty dark. It's very Elenor Oliphant is Completely Fine without the humor. Not sure if either of you have read that or not. The lead is very quirky and strange, and you find out why pretty early on and it's majorly disturbing, but a great read!

I forgot to tell you, that I read The Housemaid on the cruise. You were right it was a really fast and easy read. Not the best thing in the world and I highly doubt I'll be reading the rest in the series because I didn't much care about the main character, but it made for an excellent thing to read by the pool. I should have brought three books because I ended up having to go buy one because I had finished both only halfway through the cruise. LOL

I'm glad you enjoyed it as a quick and easy pool read!  I still haven't read the third one because my tablet I use as an e-reader is still quarantined in my garage because of the bedbug debacle from my vacation, and I refuse to buy a physical copy when I have the first two digitally.  The second one was about the same as the first - not exactly high-brow literature but a fun and fast read.

Yeah, everything I couldn't wash and didn't want to throw away is sealed in my (detached) garage until next spring.  Not risking it!
