haven't read 'conclave' but robert harris always bring a good story. i loved his pompeii.
what's the buzz on forthcoming poetry titles?
Glad to see some non-fic represented.
Born a Crime really blew me away. Highly recommend it.
The Bear and the Nightingale is great - recommend it. Beautiful writing and interesting fairytale lore
I really want to read Heartless, and The Sun is also a Star I saw that book (The Sun is also a Star) in a book shop. I chose not to get it but I totally regret my decision.
I've heard from several of my friends on here that Born a Crime is fantastic. Honestly even though I'm not into things like that I really wanna read it now! Had no idea it was nonfiction though.
Just finished reading 'Heartless' and I enjoyed it a lot.
Nice list! Added a few to my TBR. Particularly excited about The Bear and the Nightingale, which looks like it's right up my alley!

Before i even checked this post/list i already had a couple on my list of want to read... lol
I read "Bear and the Nightingale" in 2 days and I loved it and wished it would have lasted a little bit longer!
I didn't think Conclave was as good as some of his other books. Loved Pompeii.
From Sand and Ash is EPIC! Loved it from start to finish. Highly recommend to everyone looking for an unforgettable and gorgeously written story.

Yes, Harris does entertain and I might add educates us, but this book provided me, who had 17 years of all or mostly all done by religious, some new insights in Papal politics. The ending contains not one twist, which you will likely figure out at the 80% read/rate, but then something else happens that will catch you off guard. Watching the new TV series," The Young Pope" is a perfect companion.
From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon is a must-read. It is the best Historical Romance I've ever read.From Sand and Ash
Currently reading From Sand and Ash. Brilliant and Heartbreaking ❤️❤️
From sand and ash is amazing, brilliant! Loved every minute of it!
Please don't read Born a Crime, listen to it. Listening to the book in his voice, with all his tones and different languages and accents makes it all the more better. His mum is the true star.

That's what I heard too! That the audiobook is amazing!
If Born A Crime is better when it is read to you by the author then I highly recommend The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer. Somethings just translate better when they are read aloud.
That is a nice list of books, but I prefer to read The Woman Who Breathed Two Worlds which I think has both an Asian outlook and pays more attention to the problem of identity in the modern world.

It's a collection of short stories about different women. It's like a reflection of what it mans to be a woman and what a woman's life is like, with all its problems and layers. I enjoyed it a lot.
Heartless was amazing and I ordered The Sun is Also a Star after reading (and loving) Everything, Everything.
Loved Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry. Would read it again
Don't see any mention of Luke Phillips new book, wondering what is the hold up on the new release?
