I've started yesterday Shadowman; I have a lot to do at work but I hope to be able of finishing in 2/3 hours and to go on with it

Karin I just started two books, a light, funny one by Monica Dickens (great-granddaughter of author Charles Dickens and in her lifetime was as popular as Daphne DuMaurier) One Pair of Hands as well as the heavier, but somewhat humorous, Deacon King Kong by James McBride.

Oh, I love the titles! I love that it stars a musician! I love even more that it is a black woman who is starting an orchestra because more people need to know that there are brilliant black classical musicians and composers! I have put the first to on my want to read list.

I know, I know, too many !! but this came on the heels of my reading a biography, The Heart of a Woman: The Life and Music of Florence B. Price and my son's career goal is to be an orchestral trumpeter...so we love that stuff here (plus other kinds of music).

About to start Wise Children; really curious about it!


message 3118: by Esther (new)

Esther (eshchory) | 1368 comments I have paused Homecoming: Voices of the Windrush Generation because the multiple short anecdotes make it difficult to read in one go.
I restarted Scourge and feel bad about pausing it again but I really want to read The Humans and Gideon the Ninth which are bookkclub books for December.
I maybe need a weekend readathon. I just have to stop myself binge-watching Youtube documentaries.

Nichole | 554 comments I just closed Plum Tea Crazy. I should have honored my past review of Child's tea shop book. What was I thinking? The present writing is much too different. Never again.

I take that back. I did read Flowers on Main a few years ago. That was Bree's story. So I am familiar with the O'Brien family.

The Other Side of the Dale by Gervase Phinn
enjoying its gentle humour


message 3127: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 16369 comments I have been reading various science fiction & fantasy short stories recently. I have accumulated several anthologies on my Kindle over the years so I am picking & choosing rather than reading any of them through. While I have been enjoying the stories for the most part, it feels odd not to have a book on my home page where I can mark off progress!

I am also rereading Somerset Maugham's Cakes and Ale and loving it!

Karin Right now I am reading The Bone Readers and it's better than I thought it might be given that it is a book about a cop.
