I'm reading Those People by Louise Candlish. I was so impressed with Our House I decided to get the next book. It's about not liking your new neighbors, which I can certainly relate to. It's not as intense as the previous book but still intriguing. And even has several amusing lines, so far.

Listening to an irresistible novel by the remarkable Fannie Flagg, The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion, an homage to the American *WASP's of WWII. I had forgotten about Ms. Flagg and am so glad our friend Japple reminded us what a terrific teller of tales she is.

*That unfortunate acronym also stands for Women's Army Service Pilots, a civilian women pilots' organization, whose members were U S federal civil service employees. Members of WASP became trained pilots who tested aircraft, ferried aircraft, and trained other pilots. Their purpose was to free male pilots for combat roles during World War II. Despite various members of the armed forces being involved in the creation of the program, the WASP and its members had no military standing.
