A Gracious Neighbor inspired by the short story "A Jury of Her Peers," but not nearly as good. I read it because it's set in West U. The main character is constantly upset because her house is small and she doesn't fit in with the West U crowd. And then an old friend from high school and her husband move in next door and now she's obsessed with them. Not recommended.
This Time Tomorrow. On her fortieth birthday our heroine wakes up to find herself 16 again. If you're into time traveling, this may be a book for you. If not, don't bother.
Dark Money. How the Koch brothers have influenced American politics and culture.
Portrait of an Unknown Woman. Every year I swear I will not read another of Daniel Silva's books about Israeli spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon, and every year I read the newest one. They're like ice cream; I can't resist them. This one was better than last year's. Gabriel is now retired from The Office, the Israeli spy headquarters, but he becomes involved in catching a ring of art forgers. As usual, he finds the bad guys.
Life's Edge. A book about trees, genes, slime molds (my favorite chapter) and other plants and animals very different from those we know about. Very interesting.
