Finished the Charm of Revenge by Tom Secret! Wow - could not put it down! Exciting and riveting! Not for the weak stomach! Love to read more!

The Book of M by Peng Shepherd (fiction) and She Has Her Mother’s Laugh by Carl Zimmer (non-fiction).

Most Wanted by Lisa Scottoline

I am reading: Ragnar Jonasson - Nightblind. Just finished Snowblind the first in his series. Icelandic Noir. Love it - very different from North American 'noir'.

Elizabeth Gilbert- The Signature of All Things.

Who Slays the Wicked by C. S. Harris

Currently reading Unto Us A Son Is Given - Donna Leon, having just finished Ann Leckie's The Raven Tower.

Really enjoyed it! Love all his books!

I'm reading Pudd'nhead Wilson by Twain. Great writer. There are no new books on my (lengthy) to read list for this year and nothing listed above looks likely to muscle in.

Send down the rain

A couple of books that are nonfiction are "Killing of the Rising Sun" and also the "Miracles on the Water". Both are about the WWII.
If anyone likes history, these are a must.

L'arbre du voyageur by Hitonari Tsuji

I'm reading Trust No One by Paul Cleave (my third Paul Cleave book this year, love his writing style) and listening to Still Life with Crows by Preston & Child (fabulous and hard to press the pause button, my second ever audiobook, the first one I listened to almost put me off )

Just published, a 470 page Biograpical novel titled: "Life and Times of Lola Montez". Set against the turbulent years of 19th century India, Europe and America, these are the true adventures of the beautiful and cunning Irish Marie Gilbert and her struggle from a complicated past which compels her to change her identity and plunges her into an unexpected series of dangerous events which bring forth dramatic results. Incredible but true story, written like a novel.

America’s First Daughter

The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See

On the Bright Side by Hendrik Groen

Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan

The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See. Half way through it and really enjoying it.

Lethal White by Robert Galbraith

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah - brilliant as was her book The Great Alone

I am just about to finish Becoming Michelle Obama. So, so to begin with but now have really enjoyed it. Fascinating. Would recommend it.

I agree with Sue? Count me in for a reading group! What does HP mean?

A fatal grace by louise penny

interesting list; I've read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (unabraded for those non-US readers), with book groups of incarcerated adults; at their request. I attempted Madeline Miller's previous work, but put it down. I know many of these authors and their works, but would not devour them. Like my furniture, my reading list is aged, unique and eclectic. Not much new. Just finished Dawn Dumont's Glass Beads; a powerful voice depicting lives of Indigenous youth.

Just finished "The Night Olivia Fell" and currently reading "The Beantown Girls"

I am currently reading The Anatomy School by Bernard Maclaverty and Latecomers by Anita Brookner . Both are good !

I've just started The Huntress by Kate Quinn.
It's okay so far.

The Hate You Give, The Enchanted Hour, and Outer Order, Inner Calm

Just finished the paperback "I Heard the Owl Call My Name" by Margaret Craven. This short novel is wonderful, an epic quality, truly touching.

I’d love to see this on a regular basis, possibly wih # readers added.
Great idea, Goodreads!

Where the Crawdads Sing....amazing book! I loved it!

definitely a book I will remember, but I`m still not sure if I like it or not... but plan to read "A boy in striped pajamas".

“The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” will haunt you!

I am reading The 7 and one half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

i LOVED two books from Goodreads listing - Learning to See and Eagle & Crane. check them out

Milkman I loved this book! It is challenging to read because it is stream of consciousness. It tells the story of an 18 year old growing up during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. She is being stalked by a man twice her age. Anna Burns does a great job in creating tension and fear. Normality is everyday violence and murders. It describes the everyday lives of ordinary people, in particular mothers and wives. The book is funny in parts - dark tragic-comedy - sometimes I laughed out loud! It is a masterpiece and well worth a read!

A Dictionary of Mutual Understanding/Jackie Copleton (it's been on my want to read list for two years!).

I am reading World Without End, Ken Follett. Love it.

The Goldfinch

It's on my TBR...waiting....😉

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children about chapter 8...taking me a while because I am working on tax stuff but it is a great book!

Listening to The Silent Patient,reading A Spark of Light and checked Lolita out from the library to read next...I’ve never read it

Sara wrote: "Winter Soltice (again)!"
Is that by Rosamunde Pilcher? One of my favorites to reread...along with her book The Shell Seekers!

Vampyr by Carolina Andújar

The Last year of The War
