Technically it's an audiobook but I'm finishing up The Gifted School by Bruce Holsinger. Here's what Amazon says about it:
Quote:
Set in the fictional town of Crystal, Colorado, The Gifted School is a keenly entertaining novel that observes the drama within a community of friends and parents as good intentions and high ambitions collide in a pile-up with long-held secrets and lies. Seen through the lens of four families who've been a part of one another's lives since their kids were born over a decade ago, the story reveals not only the lengths that some adults are willing to go to get ahead, but the effect on the group's children, sibling relationships, marriages, and careers, as simmering resentments come to a boil and long-buried, explosive secrets surface and detonate. It's a humorous, keenly observed, timely take on ambitious parents, willful kids, and the pursuit of prestige, no matter the cost.

It's very well done; the kids speak and think like kids, the dialogue feels authentic. One one hand it feels like a juicy beach read, but on the other it also feels very realistic.

I just finished "My Sister The Serial Killer" by Oyinkan Braithwaite. It's set in Lagos, and is about a woman who is always cleaning up after her sister - literally. It was long listed for the Booker Prize this year.

"The Reckoning " by John Grisham.
I've been trying to read "Maeve Binchy: The Biography" by Piers Dudgeon, but it.is.so.dry. It's not keeping my interest.

I see that NinjaPoodle included a link with her book, and I think that's a great idea. Here's the one for "My Name Is Eva".

The book did improve, and now I can recommend it.
Now reading "Long Road to Mercy" by David Baldacci. It's in the Atlee Pine series.

Reading Schindler's Listed by Mark Biederman. Mark is the son of two holocaust survivors. His father talked about gold coins he had hidden before being shipped off to a concentration camp. Mark started learning all he could about the holocaust at a very young age, and after his dad died, he started a long journey to try to find his father's gold. In the process, he discovered his father was the 3rd name of Schindler's List, thus the title.
Very easy read. Reads more like a mystery than a non-fictional historical book.
