Hi Angela, My name is Judy and one of my favorite historical fiction novels is
Between Love and Honor
by Alexandra Lapierre
I am on the hunt for what to read next. I can be quite picky, at times, but I'm looking for fiction. Something I can't put down. Preferably a lesser-known book or not a bestseller (as a debut author myself). Any suggestions are welcome as I peruse previous posts!

It's urban fiction, just without all the violence. it is a true romance novel with deep erotic scenes.

Started They Went Left yesterday by Monica Hess.. Only 10% into the book but very good so far.
Started 'Suprise me' after reading 'My not so perfect life' - both by Sophie Kinsella. My not so perfect life was much better - really warmed to the characters in there. Yet unsure about surprise me...will let you all know..

by Louise Penny#4 in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series. My Review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Currently reading “Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow”
I am currently reading The Angel Tree by Lucinda Riley. This is just the right book to tame my corona virus anxiety. A little bit historical fiction, a little no romance and maybe a little bit Spring read. I am enjoying this book - a real fast read.
Putting down Loving Sylvie. Not enjoyable unfortunately. Picking up Nothing To See Here by Kevin Wilson. Very amusing so far. Stay safe everyone
In the woods by Tana French. It s an amazing book
The Zahir by Paulo CoelhoWhite Teeth by Zadie Smith
“Keep reading. It’s one of the most marvellous adventures that anyone can have."-Lloyd Alexander
Hey There!
I hope you and your family is safe during this time of crisis. I recently made an online book chatting website called- http://book-talks.com/. Book-Talks is a platform where passionate readers like you and me and book readers from around the world can come and chat about their favourite books. For e.g. If you’ve read the very famous book If I Stay, then why not chat about the book with readers who have read the same book – share your thoughts on the book, the best moments and scenes in the book, post a fan edit for a part of the book you liked or disliked or even share some real-life experiences that you can easily relate with the book. I really really wish you would check Book-Talks and contribute in its aim for connecting book readers all over the world. Lastly, as said by Lloyd Alexander books are the best form of an adventure then why not share your adventure with others and also be of their adventures.
(PS: Thank you for spending your precious time reading this message and I Pinkie Promise that you will love Book-Talks and Book-Talks loves you back for visiting it.... Thanks again!! Have a wonderful day!)
