Fifty Shades Freed

The last book in the trilogy. Thank God. A dragged out book about the same possessive, insecure, controlling, childish arsehole and the same immature, insecure, spineless, annoying dummy. They're newlyweds now, acting like children. A healthy way to start their new lives together. Some words were overused, but that's to be expected if you've read the other two books.  I'm glad it's over. The trilogy was a torture to read although I did like it overall.

Love Anthony

Another good book by Lisa Genova. Once you start you'll want to finish it as soon as you can. Love Anthony tells the story of Olivia, whose eight-year-old autistic son has passed away. She comes to Nantucket to find some answers to questions that have been nagging at her about Anthony. "Why my son?" "Why my family?" It also tells the story of Beth, a stay-at-home mom who is recently separated from her husband after finding out about his cheating. Alone, she rekindles her passion for writing. A passion she can share with Olivia.

The Dovekeepers

There, they held out for months against armies of Romans. Read about four strong-willed and fiercely independent women. Learn their secrets and how their lives intersect.
