so far so good.

yesterday. It is for a Middle Eastern discussion through the Kansas Humanities Council. With it being set in Egypt I was a bit shocked about the detail of sex and drinking that took place.
Mod
yesterday and almost finished with it. Great book and in my opinion better than the Hunger Games trilogy.
Moving from Italy to England; I'm about to start
A co-worker loaned me the book and keeps asking if I'm going to return it when I finish it. So I figured it would have to be next up.

Had a major brain freeze at the library and couldn't recall most of what I have on my "To Read" list. So I settled for a short story and will stop back over the weekend, list in hand!
is a short historical fiction about the night of November 14,1940 when the English city was firebombed by the Luftwaffe.
Finally picked up
from the library. It was the longest holdout on my "To Read" shelf". Now we see if the wait was worth it!

with luck the last book in this spinoff series. Got it from the local library after Amazon kept telling me I will love this book. Amazon has obviously not seen my reviews of the previous books in this series. ;-)
Sounds like the latest case of an established writer finding a lesser-known co-author who will handle all the work while the big name likely does nothing but put their name on the cover. There seems to be an increasingly long list of famous authors these days who can't be bothered to do their own writing, so they go out and get a co-author willing to piggyback on their success.If you disliked the previous ones so much, why bother with this one?
Mod
for my regular book club. Second time to read it. 1st time I found a lot of life guidance and this time I found it more emotional.
Mod
. For the Humanities Council we are reading 4 books and
was the selection I liked it and wanted to read the follow up.
Mod
and find it to be very fascinating. I've had an interest in wreck diving, but this book is making me realize I might not be cut out for the deep sea diving. I guess I need to do more recreational wreck diving first.

My father always said he was Napoletan; however it's not entirely true. Naples is the capital of the province of Campania. My grandfather was born in Rapone, a small hill town in the province of Potenza in the region of Basilicata, some miles from Naples proper. But Italy was only unified as a country in the 1800s; prior to that it consisted of small city states; most of southern Italy including Campania & Potenza being a part of the Kingdom of Naples. So I guess I could be considered Napoletan.
