Educated, a Memoir by Tara Westover

Horrifying look into the world of crazy religious preppers.  I'm so happy that the author got away from this clusterfuck.

4 stars.

Under the Dome by Stephen King

Audio (mostly).  Forgot to get the  name.
36 hours of audio, and a few chapters reading. 

This audio book was 30 disks long.  It played mostly fine until the final disk which wouldn't play on any device I tried, so I checked out the book and read the last few chapters.

Compelling story about a town trapped under an invisible dome and how quickly things become chaotic under the authoritarian rule of the town's selectman.

4.5 stars.

The Family Next Door by Sally Hepworth

A suburban cul-de-sac may hold the key to a stolen baby.

I loved everything about this story.

5 stars.

Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Stout

More a series of short stories than a true novel, in my opinion, it was a great human interest read. 

4.5 stars

Someone Knows by Lisa Scottoline

When a "prank" goes horribly wrong, four teens are left to deal with the aftermath, for the rest of their lives, which may be shorter than they would have been.  Ending was a bit far fetched, otherwise a good read.

4 stars.
