I'm in 1940's Mississippi and finding myself Mudbound. Strong beginning.

I really liked this book--four stars for me.

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I'm back in London again with The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. I want to like this book, but can only take it in small doses.

I really want you to like it, too, as I took the bait when it was the Daily Deal.

[Lesley]

I tried to continue being in Cuba, but after 40 pages, decided to leave . Pig's Foot

[Denizen]

I'm romping around 1600's England with the fun loving Merivel in Rose Tremain's Restoration.

I really enjoyed Mudbound. Aretha and I are in New York City now, it is 1964 and she has FINALLY made it to stardom. I'm 30% into this book and we are just getting there. Whew!

Her music is great, but is her life interesting?

Oh yes, but we were both very frustrated at (Aretha and I) at not getting a hit out. She's been outstanding since she was about 11 little years old, but no label knew how to promote her. She is not an easy person to handle.

[Karin]

I'm in the American South in The Kitchen House in print and in France and Germany while driving (audiobook) with All the Light We Cannot See.

[Karin]

I just spent a few days in Denmark with the well written but disappointing Music & Silence.

[Denizen]

I've moved to 1950's Naples and am about to grow up with Elena and Lila with Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I'm having a nerve wracking time in North Carolina, trying to get to Williamsburg in Glory over Everything: Beyond The Kitchen House and in 1700's New Jersey in Destiny's Child, another scary adventure with a love interest.

I'm in Naples as well but in the 1930's in Blood Curse: The Springtime of Commissario Ricciardi.

[Lesley]

I've discarded the last 3 books that I had ordered and received, so I've gone to my kindle and am back in Ireland, re-readingThe Blue Guitar.. LOVING IT!!

[Blueberry]

I was galavanting around with Miss Jean Brodie in Scotland instead of doing my lessons in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

[Karin]

I have left Virginia with The Kitchen House but am about to travel back in that direction as I continue through Glory over Everything: Beyond The Kitchen House. I am also up in Indiana with A Girl Named Zippy.

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I am in 1800's New York City with book 2 of the Timothy Wilde series Seven for a Secret and a bit later in the same century New York City with book 2 of the Clifton Chronicles series The Sins of the Father and somewhere in 20th century California with Trail of Broken Wings

[Lesley]

Am in Brazzaville Beach , which I read years ago and it has stayed with me, but am really enjoying re-visiting. William Boyd.. is a favourite ...

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

Trail of Broken Wkmgs has my full attention. I cannot put it down. Incredibly sad. All of the other books will have to wait until this one is finished. Very unusual for me.

[Story]

I really enjoyed Brazzaville Beach when I listened to it last year, Lesley.

I'm solving murders and playing Sacred Games in corrupt and steamy Bombay.

Sacred Games is one that's been on and then off my TBR. I'll be watching for your rating/review.

Oooh! As if I need another mystery ...

I'm back in Naples, readingEveryone in Their Place: The Summer of Commissario Ricciardi

[Denizen]

BnB, GR tells me you've read Brazzaville Beach.

I just put it on my TBR. I'm not doing well holding my TBR to 400 titles. I recently purged a few and am already back over my limit. Arggghh!

[Denizen]

I'm still in the 7th century with Hild. I am really enjoying it, but it is not a fast read for me.

I was all set to move to Maine with Olive Kitteridge but since I last checked, it changed to 0 copies, 0 copies available. Hmmmph. Anyhow, I have moved to Southern US and enjoying Ruby Dee narrate Their Eyes Were Watching God. You can't always get what you want, but if you try real hard, you just might find you get what you need.

[Lesley]

Ambled through various communes in Qld and NSW in a (INHO) long-winded, but pleasant to read, Hope Farm Peggy Frew has given all her characters very authentic voices; but those always tired hippies gave (and give) me the shits...

[Karin]

I'm in Portland, Oregon with Greensleeves and about to flit back and forth from Stockholm with The Invoice: A Novel

One of my very favorite quotes ever.

I hope you enjoy Hild...it was just my cup of tea...but there were so many characters and a bit of language to become accustomed to.

I am sure you will like Their Eyes Were Watching God, it is a wonderful book.

I did read Brazzaville Beach and I think since you recently read We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves that this will hold great interest for you . I read Easter Island shortly before and they have similarities , so this might also be a book you might want to read.

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I'm on Holt Colorado again with book two of the Plainsong series - Eventide

My kids were raised on that quote. I'm surprised they don't hate it!

I'm reading Hild on my Kindle but checked out a DTB for the map, glossary, and family tree. The names and relationships are still tough.

I had to

I love that series. I still have the last one to read.

Loved 1,2,4.. DNF no 3.

[Lesley]

I gave up on The Life of Elves ie France Italy and other realms and am back to enjoying Africa inBrazzaville Beach... by William Boyd

[Karin]

I'm hopping between in Sweden with The Invoice, New England with The Wood's Edge and WW II England with Henrietta's War: News from the Home Front 1939-1942.

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I'm still in Holt, Colorado in Eventide

I have just finished it for the 2nd time, and love it all over again. The ' African ' atmosphere is amazingly captured.

Been advised that my copy will arrive next Tuesday..YAY.. Today Where the Trees Were has just been delivered..

[Lesley]

Ran out of library books so still in Africa; on my pendo: I Craig Packer Into Africa means I am a bit jaded.
Looking forward to being back in OZ in Where the Trees Were

[Denizen]

I left London - gray London, red London, white London and black London with A Darker Shade of Magic. Good, fast-paced fantasy for those who are so inclined. I am now in the land of the Tearling with The Queen of the Tearling.

[Karin]

I am so happy to have left Sweden (turned out that book was a satire, which is NOT my cup of tea, but I have to post a review on LibraryThing since I got it through their early reviewers, but am NOT allowed to review it on Amazon since it's not out until July and I'm not one of their early reviewers, which is irksome because so far it's all five stars which does NOT reflect how it is here on Goodreads.)

I'm mostly in the US at the moment with a few hops to WW II England, but will be moving to 12th century England soon with An Excellent Mystery

I love Brother Cadfael

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I'm back in Colorado, but this time I'm not with the Plainsong series. I'm reading Haruf's first book The Tie That Binds Very different from the series. Very enjoyable.

[Lesley]

I am somewhere in outback OZ in Charlotte Wood The Natural Way of Things

On the longlist for Miles Franklin award. I finally achieved getting a library ebook on my pendo, as after all this time I was still 4/9 in the DTB queue.

It's like poetry that you don't really know if you know what it means; if its a fable, allegory or if it will suddenly be clear. LOVE the wonderful writing, so will just enjoy the delicious words.

[Denizen]

Congrats on getting an ebook on the pendo. I hope the story becomes clear and will be watching for your final take.

WOW seems like if you don't have mobile phone coberage and have an app, there are SOOO many traps for young players. Hope the next one I try to download I can remember how, or maybe it was only to sign in 7 seven times in five places..(bit of an exaggeration..) ..Supposedly the reviews call it an allegory and someone likened it to 'The Handmaids Tale'...(which I didn't finish), so will see...

[Blueberry]

I'm back in North Carolina reading #17 in the Deborah Knott Mystery series. Three-Day Town

I don't think I've seen anyone review it. I wasn't aware of it. Will definitely have to check it out after I read his final book.

I have finished The Natural Way of Things by Charlotte Wood.. I feel so astounded at the depth of this slight book... Need a few days to cogitate before reviewing, but for me it was unforgettable.. Dystopian ? Maybe.. Possible? Other countries have had 'morals' forced on the women, so who knows. I actually think you might like it Den..

[Karin]

I'm now nowhere, having just finished or discarded all of the books I was reading (only discarded one) except one that is about logic, so no location.

I'm about to start 5 books, some in the US, some in England, and some I don't know yet. Most are group reads, one is one of those books I won in exchange for a review, and one is in the series I'm reading along with my son. I'll probably just read whatever I feel like at the moment each time or so much in each book.
