Still reading it, Skye. (I'm working on a novel and have been asked to review a few others, so it's slow going!) Can you recommend another of Wolfe's?

I've got to read this. I unfortunately was not able to attend when Gail Lukasik was at our library speaking about her books several years ago. Also her husband was police chief of the town I am in and just retired in August or September.

Q-House | 4 comments I'm currently reading P.S. Meraux's Flare Flare by P.S. Meraux . It's the final book in the Luminary Series. I like YA paranormal supernatural mystery type stories and this series has definitely held my attention. It's relateable. Its also clean and full of humor which I didn't expect.

message 3619: by Dumkele (new)

Dumkele | 2 comments ‘Nfudu: Skirts, Ties and Taboos’ was a great read! It’s sent in Paris in the 1960’s and it beautifully illustrates the story of a young Nigerian girl navigating her way through the trials and tribulations of life. I think you should definitely give it a read.

Harriet Levin | 11 comments Looking for interesting reading? Check out my debut novel about a S. Sudanese refugee, How Fast Can You Run, a novel based on the life of Michael Majok Kuch. I have a giveaway going on right now. I never imagined that the book would be this current! It's also a mother/son book, because it describes a fundraising effort my 11th grade son initiated to reunite Michael with his mother.How Fast Can You Run

I'd love to know what you think of it!!!!

Terri | 2 comments Is it good? I've debated about picking it up. I always thought she was funny but I lost respect for her when I heard she sold stories to a gossip magazine about Chelsea Handler. True? Maybe, Maybe not.

message 3642: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Adams (booksbyamandaadams) | 13 comments The Sangrita Club by Amanda Adams Hi! I am Amanda Adams, author of The Sangrita Club. I recommend this book to every woman on the planet. This book is relevant to the current #MeToo / #TimeUp movement. Every woman will fall in love with this novel, because they will see themselves in the pages. It details and embraces the issues that women of all ethnicities and ages have struggled with for decades. Wit and humor are used to shine a light on the fact that we are all very different in terms of how we look, where we come from and our educational backgrounds, but we are truly similar when it comes to the issues we struggle with as women.

Mary. | 1 comments Hi All!
I'm looking for a reading buddy to talk to about current reads etc. since coming to the conclusion that book clubs aren't really my thing. If anyone's up for something of the sort, please please please make sure to contact me.


message 3645: by Leslie (new)

Leslie (lesliejean43) | 403 comments Hi Mary, I absolutely understand! Book clubs aren't my thing either. My library has a weekly 'book chat', so people can drop in and discuss whatever they are reading. Everybody is NOT reading the same books. Maybe your library would be willing to provide a space for that sort of group. If not, maybe you could find a few people who'd be interested and you could meet elsewhere. It's a great way to hear about books you may be interested in reading. I hope you can find a way to make that work, or you may find people here who would be interested in an online discussion. Best wishes to you!

Dolly | 1 comments Angela,

I just finished Nfudu - skirts, ties & taboos by Oby Aligwekwe. It is the most amazing piece of fiction I have read in a while. In the past six months, I have read at least 45 books. Wondering how I find the time? Im recently retired and visited my daughter in the state, and with nothing else to do, all I did was read. The book has romance, crime, taboos, culture, history. Set in Paris, London and Lagos in 1960's. Here is the link to Amazon for Nfudu http://a.co/b5xoX1Q. Take care
