What Are Currently Reading?
I just finished Ruth Ware The Turn of the Key.Now I’m starting on The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer.
Just finished bell hooks All About Love, moving one to Assata autobiography & The World Doesn’t Require You by Rion Amilcar Scott.
Enlightenment Now, by Steven Pinker. Bill Gates’ favorite book also- I can see why! I am loving it. It tied in beautifully with a free e-book by an Ivy League Proffessor, Peter Singer:The Life You Can Save. One of the best books I have ever read about truly being a good, ethical person.
Picking up two books as I have a short notice book group discussion. Number one is Warlight by Michael Ondaatje. So far is got me! And the other is Where the crawdads sing by Delia Owen's. Everyone raving about this one so will savor it like a grew brew or chocolate cookie!!
I finished The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson - I'm not usually a non fiction fan, but it is a great book. I loved The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. I am now reading The Testaments by Margaret Atwood and am really enjoying it
I am currently re-reading the first novel I wrote while in high school, Love Chances, so I can get some more ideas while writing the follow-up sequel.
I tried reading The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo but had to give it up about halfway through - there were way too many characters, and I wasn't interested in even one of them. I wouldn't have struggled for so long, but a good friend send it to me for Christmas, so I really wanted to like it.
Now I'm reading The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood. The contrast between the two books is amazing. Atwood is such an excellent writer! There is humour in this book too, which I love!
I'm listening to The Testaments by Margaret Atwood. I really need to read more of her books because I am really enjoying it. I have not read Robber Bride, Blind Assassin, or Alias Grace. Anyone have a favorite of these 3 or maybe another one of hers? I've read The Handmaid's Tale already
I'm currently reading Two Stories by Virginia Woolf and Mark Haddon. @Laureen Alias Grace is my second favourite, following The Handmaid's Tale.
Currently reading The Three Musketeers and loving it! It is so funny and rich and full of action and adventure and wonderfully complex characters.
I’m reading THE KINGDOM OF BACK by Marie Lu My first fantasy read. The story is interesting enough to keep me turning pages. I know it’s a YA but didn’t want to tackle a 1000 pager for my first fantasy read. I’ll take any suggestions for my next.
To Laureen: My longtime favourite Margaret Atwood book is Cat's Eye. But I am also loving The Robber Bride. I've read a few others of hers, but these are my favourites right now.

well hello! I thought I already commented on this thread but it seems that I did not! I am currently reading The Lost Order by Steve Berry.
Just finished The Choice. I have read a lot of WW2 books and this one of the most graphic I have ever read. It's very well written but I needed to take a few breaks to process what I was reading. It has a wonderful message in the end. 4 Stars because of how graphic it is.Reading Last Words now before rereading 1000 White women.
Thanks Maximilian G Wolf for the 5 stars and great review of my newly released book JUMPING OVER THE RAINBOW. Much appreciate

I'm currently reading "Essays in Memory of Carla Grissmann". She was a remarkable humanitarian, and her life is well worth getting to know.
Emma wrote: "Boy Swallows Universe & Woman in the Wilderness"Emma look up the online radio interview with Trent about his book. After reading the book it really became even more powerful in it’s story line.
Finished this classic (which I can't honestly remember if I actually read it before or not) The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Greetings my friends, I am Joseph, I am currently reading “The Pilgrim’s Progress” by John Bunyan. It’s very inspirational. Check out my most recent inspirational poet book “Sincerely Speaking Spiritually.” Have an awesome day, don’t forget to pray, stay encouraged, inspired, ingenious, resilient, mindful, enlightened, and God’s blessings always!
Hello there - I'm Anna and although a member of Goodreads for years, this is my first post. I just finished the Dressmaker's Gift and it was very good. No spoilers, but set in WWII Paris and gave great insight into how very strong the women were during that time. It gave me a new appreciation for everything I have in my life.
