I can believe that!

I'm marching across Georgia during the Civil War in The March

[Story]

Watch out for stray bullets, BnB.

I'm with Frankenstein in Baghdad where I'm watching out for bombs. This one was just nominated for the Man Booker International--I can see why. Fran, I think you might like it.

I'm moving around between Australia with What Alice Forgot, 17th century England with Moll Flanders and the future USA with UnWholly where I'm watching out for Juvies trying to snatch AWOL teens who don't want to be unwound (all of their body used for parts and they are alive throughout the harvesting process).

It has been on my radar. Glad to know that you are liking it. I did a march through Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina with Sherman in The March and now have moved on to The Kitchen House.

I'm in Canada where the government (and citizens) are trying to deport all of the Japanese citizens after WW2 in the nonfiction Forgiveness by Mark Sakamoto, a selection for Canada Reads this year.

I read The Kitchen House last year and am interested to see what you think of it.

I am in Rome with a son of a famous arrist growing up as best as he can with a father in NY and mother strugfling with mental illness, The Italian Teacher, by Tom Rachman. Am also in northwestern India (future Pakistan) in the 20s in an autobiography of a British officer serving in a Gurkha brigade, Bugles and a Tiger: My Life in the Gurkhas, by novelist John Masters.

On my drives during the week I am doing House of Mirth, set among the affluent in turn of century NYC. Each week I read two chapters of The Odyssey for a GR group devoted to a new translation by U Penn prof Emily Wilson.

I am in Atlanta and Louisiana reading An American Marriage by Tayari Jones. I am enjoying this book very nigh. It seems my friends know the author but I don’t. See wrote Silver Sparrows, a friend told me “to read this book by my friend, it is her first book”. Silver Sparrows was good. So when another friend said to me “my friend wrote this book and I know you love to read, so I got one for you”. I could hardly wait to start it. This is a fantastic read and I’m only on page 72 of 306.

I am in Germany with A Legacy and the US in both the past with The Lives and Times of Archy and Mehitabel and the future with UnSouled

[Karin]

I'm travelling around quite a bit. I'm going from 13th century England and Wales, etc, in Here be Dragons to a distant planet, etc far in the future in Illuminae to twentieth century WW II in Lilac Girls.

I love how you alternate between historical fiction and fantasy, Karin. I find a nice complementarity with such leaps.

I am in a really Dickensian place and time with Oliver Twist and in a far futuŕe epic Empire of Silence, which many say is like "Name of the Wind" in space.

[Booknblues]

I've just had a pleasant excursion to Dordogne department (region) in France with Chief of Police, Bruno inA Taste for Vengeance and I am now in an unknown land reading What Should Be Wild.

[Lesley]

I have enjoyed being on Vancouver Island in the NOT recommended ..

I enjoy 'Criminal Minds' as its all resolved in an hour. Reading the similar thing I found tedious.

[Lesley]

ABSOLUTELY can recommend .. .

Also having a private discussion, is so rewarding. Thanks GR friend.

This wonderful novel is mainly well set in Sicily and Sydney. Both places really come alive.

Actually, there are no dragons or fantasy in Here Be Dragons--it's historical fiction. The title is taken from the national emblem of Wales. It's a story of King John (Worst British king every) and some other famous princes, et al--I'm reading it for a biographical fiction read.

But I also like your contrasting reading choices!

I'm currently in Japan. by Clive Cussler

I have just been in the Adelaide Hills , South Australia in a STUNNING book , asked to be purchased 12 months ago, and now available on my Overdrive EBOOK platform. by Eva Hornung. Best book for ages.

[Karin]

I just left Kansas with The Calculating Stars, and interesting alternative history scifi book and am on Discworld in Anhkmorph with Captain Carrot et al.

[Lesley]

I have been in Melbourne, Canberra and 'Gotland' in Gotland by Fiona Capp . Stunning! The sense of places; the real characters, really enjoyably novel by an Australian author I had not heard of.

[Karin]

I've been in Shrewsbury with The Hermit of Eyton Forest and am not on the moon with 2001: A Space Odyssey, although I think I may be travelling farther than that.
