Teri-K | 1388 comments Just started rereading Frederica by Georgette Heyer. It's one of my all time favorites - so fun!

I've also started Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs. I'm not sure I'll like it. The author has taken a baddie from the series and suddenly made her nice. I prefer to see someone have to work toward a change, not just suddenly become somebody different. I don't know if I'll finish this, which is sad because I mostly love Briggs' books.

Esther (eshchory) | 1368 comments As a coincidence I am reading a mystery thriller during GR's Mystery&Thriller week.
Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner Greenwich Park is not my usual genre but something caught my eye. So glad it did because the book is a real page turner.

Teri-K | 1388 comments Didn't finish Murder in an English Village - I couldn't tell the characters apart and wasn't interested in the so-called mystery. :( Did finish Frederica, a favorite of mine.

Still reading A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie, one of the best Miss Marples, I think.

I've started The Thing with Feathers: The Surprising Lives of Birds and What They Reveal About Being Human by Noah Strycker and The Hidden Target by Helen MacInnes. Both new to me, though I've enjoyed others by MacInnes.

I'm on 4 books together these days, and quite liking them all.
An audiobook of a young Italian mystery writer whom I quite enjoy - Alice Basso Non ditelo allo scrittore Non ditelo allo scrittore by Alice Basso (the "detective is a sort of Asperger ghost writer working together with the Police, being able to enter inside the mind of the people she has in front of her!)
Another mystery together with Leslie, The Layton Court Mystery The Layton Court Mystery (Roger Sheringham Cases, #1) by Anthony Berkeley , a real"closed door mystery", recalling dame Agatha
A book on the Armenian genocide La restauratrice di libri La restauratrice di libri by Katerina Poladjan
And Corpi vili  by Evelyn Waugh Corpi vili, that, even if it's English Literature - my favourite usually, is the one I'm liking the least of all!

For a long time, Frederica was my favorite of all Heyer's books. I love Felix! These days, I think The Reluctant Widow is my favorite...

I haven't read that one, yet. I'll bump it up my TBR. :)

Teri-K | 1388 comments I've taken a detour through some quick-to-read romantic suspense. I read Colton 911: Undercover Heat by new-to-me Anna J. Stewart and enjoyed it enough to move on to More Than a Lawman, which I also liked. I'll definately read the rest of the series. Then I read Enemy Waters by Justine Davis.

And I'm taking a dip into Betty Neels' land with Saturday's Child. She's an author I quite enjoy when I'm in a particular mood, wanting to spend a couple of hours with likable, sensible heroines surrounded by good food, nice houses and a dog or cat. lol

I'll get back to my regularly scheduled reading in a day or two...

How are you liking this? I have been a bit absent, so will see if you have posted a review on the first one while I was doing an intense reading game.

Teri-K | 1388 comments I'm listening to Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold again. This series is great, the narrator is great, and this is one of the best books in the series. I'm feeling sad because I only have a couple of hours of listening to go. :(

Memory (Vorkosigan Saga, #10) by Lois McMaster Bujold

Such fun! I own most of the series in the paperback (& Kindle) omnibus format but I do own this one in audiobook narrated by Grover Gardner. I have been thinking about rereading this series and seeing your updates urges me on :-)

Go for it! I've been bowled over by how really good these books are, especially this one and the ones that follow. She creates real people who pass through various stages of life at the same time she tells great stories, with several different threads running through them. I also like that all the books in the series aren't the same.

Well, having discovered that most of the books are now available to borrow from the Audible Plus catalog, I borrowed Falling Free. Chances are that I will end up rereading the whole series but maybe I can restrain myself.

Teri-K | 1388 comments I finished listening to Memory and have jumped back to hear The Vor Game by Lois McMaster Bujold. I usually listen or read them in order, but this time I've just been grabbing whatever I'm in the mood for that's available. :)

I finished Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed by Lori Gottlieb.

I'm reading The A.B.C. Murders by Agatha Christie, The Hidden Target by Helen MacInnes and The Thing with Feathers: The Surprising Lives of Birds and What They Reveal About Being Human by Noah .Strycker.

Esther (eshchory) | 1368 comments I am reading The Girl and the Stars a fantasy with layers of world building and a lot of plot.

In contrast I am listening to Cunning Women which hasn't quite lived up to its potential despite the beautiful writing and seems to have packed all the action in the last 10%.

Coincidently, both have strong female leads.

I'm listening to Girl, Woman, Other Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo by Bernardine Evaristo and reading Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood Born a Crime Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah by Trevor Noah, both really really beautiful - both really really hard.
I strongly recomand them both
