On the look out for a new read now! :)

[Mike]

I've went with The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

[Nichole]

I'm trying Magical Midlife Madness by K.F. Breene. This is the first book in Breene's Leveling Up series. It's paranormal, and I don't "do" paranormal - normally. I hope it's good.

Started yesterday an interesting book: A Simple Story by an old Israel writer of whom I had not know anything before.

Shai Agnon is a classic, one of my daughter's favourites.

LOL - that is a sentiment that I can completely understand! Certain authors, like Christie, are reliably enjoyable time after time.

I agree. One of the book series that always gives me a reading delight is the No. 1 Ladies Detective one. I can't say that about all of his books, though.

[Nichole]

I am now reading Ghostal Living by Kathleen Bridge. It is book 3 in her Hampton's Home and Garden mysteries.

[LauraT]

About to finish Sugar Money; intersting. Still not my novel: don't like advenure in general, anche even if here the theme is slavery, it turns out to be more adventure than anything else!

[Alannah]

Currently listening to The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, it’s been on my radar for a while. I saw a book agent talk about it on Twitter, this agent seems to have similar taste to me as I have enjoyed any book she recommends or any authors, work that she represents. So far, this audiobook is not what I expected it to be, at the minute, the narrator is really making the book stand out for me. It’s almost as if the character is talking directly to me, I can’t remember the last time any book I have read has done this, and the character actually describes themselves as an unreliable narrator, which I find interesting. Normally I’m used to trying to figure if the narrator is reliable or not, I’m pretty sure this is the first time I, as a reader have been told straight away.

Oh yes, I read that last month, was a decent book. To be honest, I wasn’t completely blown away with it, but it was a well written book, I can’t point my finger on why I didn’t enjoy it. Think it was just one of those books, I seemed to see everywhere, in the shops, and I think I seen a couple of reviews about it through good reads, that’s what encouraged to sign up to the site in the first place, I thought I would read some new books, that I would never usually know about. I have definitely have been in a rut. I don’t think I would rush into the second book though.

[Alannah]

I see what you mean Jade, it’s turning to a crime novel that I feel like I have read a good few times already.

[Christine]

The Wedding Pearls by Carolyn Brown

I enjoyed it. What I would describe as a Not-quite-cozy.

[LauraT]

Started yesterday - together with Wives and Daughters I'm reading with you - The Optimist's Daughter. I had never heard of it before. Strange book; I still have to decide if I'm linking it or not...

[Nichole]

I will start Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu.

[Nichole]

I closed Interior Chinatown. I will now read Sucks To Be Me by Kristen Painter. It's book 1 in the First Fangs Club paranormal series.

[LauraT]

After a strange book - for me whi I had never heard of it or the author: The Optimist's Daughter - I'm back to one of my several loves: Mrs. Pringle of Fairacre.
I love Miss Read and Fairacre!!!!

I'm looking forward to your review of this book. I meant to read it years ago and never got around to it.

[Petra]

I'm reading Milkman and Indian Horse and enjoying both a lot.

The audio of Milkman is really nice to listen to. I like the voice of the narrator, Brid Brennan. It's lilting and engaging.

[Nichole]

I will read Harbor Lights in the future. I have chosen A Killer Ending by Karen MacInerney. This is the first book in MacInerney's Snug Harbor cozy mystery series, which started a few months ago in 2020.

[LauraT]

I'm reading a book about the XX century Italy which I'm finding particularly interesting: A Winter's Night

[Jade]

I started reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, I haven’t touched her books since school. I really enjoyed her work, I can’t wait to try more of her books, for now I’m reading this one again to get back into her writing.

[Alannah]

Jade wrote: "I started reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, I haven’t touched her books since school. I really enjoyed her work, I can’t wait to try more of her books, for now I’m reading..."

Yes, I read this one too for university, I can’t remember if it was my Victorian literature or one of my first year basic modules, which used a really wide range of different genres. I loved it, once I read it, I just wanted to read more of her work.

[Alannah]

I think once I get the books sitting in that box for my 2021 challenge, I should get back into these classic books.

Before I joined goodreads, I normally stuck to the same classics again and again. Such as Charles Dickens, Charlotte and Emily Bronte. This group has really helped too, I have only been in the group about a month and I’m already reading so many more different books.

That’s great to hear, I was the same although I wasn’t really reading classics, if anything good reads and this group in particular has got me to explore more classic books and authors I have never even heard of before, I would probably still be reading just Jodi Picoult books and Matt Haig lol. I definitely would not be reading over 300 books a year without good reads, that is for sure.

[Nichole]

I opened Let it All Burn by Denise Grover Swank about an hour ago. It's one of the mid-life paranormal books that are all the rage. I have enjoyed a few of them so far.

By her I prefere Middlemarch; but I do understand it's a matter of tastes
