I am encouraging my husband to read this also.

[Noelene]

The Happiest Refugee was one of the first memoirs I read. I had avoided that genre like the plaque. Thoroughly recommend the book.

I finished The Dust That Falls from Dreams by Louis de Bernières Excellent! 4.5★ I thought my 'review brain' might come back to life for this book but no luck:(

Now reading A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara It's keeping me nailed to the sofa at the moment.

[Marianne]

I'm a fair way into The Long, Hot Summer and it is shaping up to be another 5 ★ read....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'll be starting Devil's Pocket by John Dixon next and am really excited to read it. I loved his first in the series, Phoenix Island so I expect this one will be just as gripping!

[Nancy]

I'm getting into Daughter of Smoke & Bone which I have had on my radar for ages. I'm really enjoying it so far.

I must read that again one day. I listened to it and as an audiobook it was truly awful. I gave it one star:( But something made me read book 2 which I gave 4 stars. And I could not wait for the third one which I gave 5 stars!!! So I really should read book one again and change my rating.

Trying to get through my massive "to read" pile.

Right now loving Revolutionizing Pedagogy: Education for Social Justice Within and Beyond Global Neo-Liberalism
A fantastic book and not at all as negative as I expected

Sounds interesting. (Joining this group is NOT reducing my TBR pile... sigh...)

It was an excellent book. (I avoid memoirs too.) :-)

Nope...I'm determined to swear off Netgalley for a bit and at least try and get through the books I've already purchased...(There's probably about 50 on my e-reader and another 40 in paperback...) LOL I'm hopeless.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good luck Tracy!! I need a little more than luck for my owned TBR though;)

[Sally906]

I have just finished a historical read - The Other Queen by Philippa Gregory - not one of her best IMHO - was 3 stars.

Have now picked up The Book of Ivy by Amy Engel which is a YA Dystopian.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Finished Gypsy Cradle: a psychic paranormal thriller by Andrea Drew tonight for a good 4★s

Now starting The Bones of You by Debbie Howells on the recommendation of some AR friends.

[Marianne]

Reading an ARC of Kingdom of the Strong 4th in a series of which I haven't read any others, but it doesn't seem to matter.... good so far!

[Veronica ⭐️]

I've just read two heart-rending reads Tom Houghton and The Life you Leave Behind so now onto some Romance

Something light for you now Veronica:)

I'm still reading A Little Life. I can only read for a couple of hours per day, it's so heartbreakingly sad, I have to put it aside.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Was just reading Rita's review of Go Set a Watchman, for some reason I was totally positive that Harper Lee was dead and it was a posthumous publication. No idea why.

[Marianne]

I've got about 65 pages of Kingdom of the Strong to go, and it looks like I will be getting the other books in the series out of the library, LOL, like I need another series!!!

[Marianne]

that one is next on my TBR, Michael.

I finished A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara 5★

It is quite honestly the most profound, intense, haunting and at times harrowing book that I've read so far this decade. Every time I think of it, I get a huge lump in my throat. If you wish to read an excellent review, read our Angela M's at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I have started The Unbroken Line by Alex Hammond and enjoying it so far:)

[Sally906]

I currently reading Lord James Harrington and the Winter Mystery by Lynn Florkiewicz - a nice English country village cosy mystery set in the l950s

And - I am also reading

The Vampire's Mail Order Bride by Kristen Painter because why wouldn't you read a book with that title? Is a romance ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!

[Marianne]

I second that!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

I bet he's looking for the sort of bride that looks good enough to eat!!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

I'm really enjoying The Bones of You by Debbie Howells but have been slow on it because of other committments, now I'm at 90% and have to put it down again to get dinner! My DH and my DLD (dear little Dog ;) are starrrrrrrving!
I will finish it later on tonight :)

[Suz]

Jules, I was trying to read the last few pages of my book last night while cooking dinner. I realised I had to give up but didn't really want to!

I've started Unless by Carol Shields as part of a Carol Shields readalong in another group. She is an author who, I was surprised to read, is deceased, only 68 when she died. I just always think of her as 'constant' because I have all her books and often re-read them.

I had forgotten that she died. She was one of my favourite authors but so long ago that I have not even marked her books off on Goodreads as having been read.

Enjoying The World At Her Fingertips: The Story Of Helen Keller, have been fascinated with Helen Keller since I was at primary school, and remember holding a Scholastic book in my hands. Bought two books just recently. The next one will be her biography.

I also have loved her since childhood Suzanne:) I read The Story of My Life in 2013 and loved it (once again)

I listened to the audio version.

She was just amazing wasn't she? I remember doing a big assignment on her in High School for a person who overcame difficulties. Boy she had a few difficult hurdles to overcome didn't she?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm currently reading The Unbroken Line by Aussie author Alex Hammond It's very enjoyable so far:) I quite enjoyed his first book, and this is #2 in the series:)

[Marianne]

I'm very much enjoying Nothing Gold Can Stay, but then, I love everything by Ron Rash.

[Ryan]

Just started God's War by Kameron Hurley. So far it's very different.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Just starting White is the Coldest Colour by John Nicholl.
