What Are Currently Reading?
Hi, my name is Tracy. I am from Toledo, Ohio. I am about to start reading from "The complete Novels of Jane Austen". I have a pretty good stack of classic literature I want to read that I did not read in High School. I've read Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibilities, and Persuasion this year. I enjoyed these so Im looking forward to reading Northanger Abbey.
Finished To All the Boys I've Loved Before
by Jenny HanCompulsively readable, and brought me back to HS (in a good way).

Good morning. My name is Wendy.I have just finished 'The mistakes I made' by Paula Daly.
Although the main dilemma is based on a very well known film, Paula takes a very fresh approach to it with lots of twists that keep the storyline flowing.
This is the first book I have read by this author (picked up at the library) but it certainly won't be the last as I really enjoyed her down to earth style.
Hope that helps?
Currently reading an advanced readers' edition. The book is titled, "Saving Meghan." Author: D.J. Palmer. It is due out April 9, 2019. I am on page 59 so far. The book has gripped me from the beginning! Can't wait to finish reading it to see how the outcome is! It probably won't be what I expect either! Great author!
Finished reading Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

Way to go Kevin! Keep going! It's so uplifting to know someone is digging in to God's Word. Thanks for sharing.

I am almost finished reading A Spark of Life by Jodi Picoult. Interesting and unusual. I do recommend this book. She's a fabulous writer.
'These Truths' - A history of the U.S. by historian Jill Lepore. It goes all the way through the last presidential election. A must read for anyone who wants to understand how we have reached this point, both in society and government. It's inclusive of women and minorities, unlike the history books I read in school, which truly is refreshing.
Finished Descent
by Tim JohnstonFinally checked this one off my list!

Currently reading Maid by Stephanie Land and it is very good! It is a well-written memoir. I just finished Prairie Silnce by Melanie Hoffert, another memoir, and it was very good. I also just started A Map of Days by Ransom Riggs, and I have high expectations, with good reason!
Finished The Phantom of the Opera
by Gaston LerouxMy Review:

Recently finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. The writing was wonderful, but at 771 pages, it was too long!Now I'm reading both The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver, and The Call of the Wild by Jack London.
I'm reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. It is long and has scientific/anthropological content in great detail. Not sure how much I'm going to like this one. Or if I'm going to finish it.
Finished The Call of the Wild - amazing book!Now reading
I read her book A Manual for Cleaning Women last year, and loved it, so I'm looking forward to this!
