Carrying on from my 2017 trend, I've started reading another book set in ancient Rome - Tribune of Rome. Loving it so far.

Anyone else read 'The Sixteen Trees of the Somme'? I note it is in multiple translations and was originally Norwegian. I am on page one!

The Sixteen Trees of the Somme

I've not heard of that one PDR. I'm currently reading Gone with the Wind for the first time. Really enjoying it.

I adored Gone With The Wind.

Currently I'm reading Tribune of Rome. Loving the back story of his early years. Reading the book is even better since I actually held one of Vespasian's coins earlier this year.

A Whole New World by Liz Braswell - I'm like a third, maybe half way through and it is honestly a disappointing read so far. So much so I probably couldn't give you any good or bad parts because it's not memorable at all.

I started reading:
I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death

A very different kind of book - one to make you think about life, and yourself

[Zellian]

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

Been meaning to read a whole bunch of books turned movies.

[Erica]

Justine - I have 'I Am, I Am, I Am' on my bookshelf at home. Haven't read it yet - let us know what you thought when you're done :)

Carlene - hope you like Maze Runner. I think I flew through that over a weekend.

[Ninitha (Niko)]

I've been meaning to read the Maze Runner too. Currently also reading The Sun is also a Star. I keep cribbing about how it's unfurling and has to keep reminding myself that it's YA.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

[Anna]

When breath become air is a great book! I’m about to start the lord of the rings: the two towers 👍😁
Does anyone have any thoughts on Frodo?
I love Borodir and Aragorn. Gollum is a great character too.

[P.D.R.]

Hurray! The library have got the two latest Elliot Patterson Inspector Shan novels
So I'm reading 'Soul of the Fire' and 'Skeleton God'.

An Unquiet Ghost by Linda Stratmann and The Dollhouse by Fiona Davis

[K.M.]

I'm reading The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. It's enjoyable - sci fi but with a real focus on characters and relationships.

[P.D.R.]

Just tucking into more research - A Colonial Naturalist by Pamela Hyde. I like real people's recollections of their colonial struggles to add colour to my novels!

Death at the Bar by Ngaio Marsh and White is the Coldest Colour by John Nicholl

[Zellian]

Chicken Soup for The Soul: The Dating Game by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen
I remember Chicken Soup for the Soul Books being... more interesting then what I'm reading now? Maybe it's just the topic, or maybe I've just grown out of them.

[P.D.R.]

"Death at the Bar' is a favourite of mine too, Sandy.

I've just finished a load of easy reads none of which were notable and now am rereading 'The Riddle Master of Hed' a trilogy by
Patricia McKillip to see if it is as breathtaking as I remember.
Am annoyed that Good reads only has the American versions and titles for the trilogy as I have the original beautiful volumes with their original titles.

Riddle-Master

I’m reading it - nearly halfway through - and really enjoying it. I quite like Scandinavian stories. Was skimming through this discussion seeing what people were reading, saw your post, thought the title sounded interesting, looked it up and got the book from my local library. So thanks : )

The Goldfinch

[P.D.R.]

How's the Sixteen trees gone down with you, Maria? I loved the complex plot and just wished the poor bloke had been told the truth early on.
I enjoyed the Goldfinch too.
Found five of the prize list in the library this morning, all held for me!!! Am about to launch ingot 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine'

I really enjoyed The Sixteen Trees of the Somme Very well written. Such a sad history for the family - not just the tragic accident but the war dividing the brothers. I’m sure their decision not to tell Edvard was to protect him from crushing guilt. A good 5 star read.

[P.D.R.]

Ah but there was a way to tell Edvard and not tell him it was his fault.

Bloomin' humans and their belief that they know what's best for others.
