I finished my book called Ghost: The True Story of One Man's Descent into Madness and Murder by Glenn Puit
I will read
A Design to Die For by Kathleen Bridge. It is no. 5 in Bridge's Hamptons Home & Gardens mystery series.
I am now reading The Promise.It is quite good so far but does have a few of the 'tells' of literary fiction, most annoyingly - no speech marks!
I am now reading
Killing in C Sharp by Alexia Gordon. It's the 3rd book in Gordon's A Gethsemane Brown Mystery series.
I just finished Death in a Budapest Butterfly by Julia Buckley. It's been years since I enjoyed a cozy mystery so much! (The non-funny kind, anyway.) It was so good I immediately started Death of a Wandering Wolf, #2 in the series. It's really good too!Also I love the covers:
In other news, I'm working my way through Terry Pratchett's Mort. It's quite good, but I've been distracted by the Hungarian Tea House mysteries. ;)
I'm now reading
Sifting Through Clues by Daryl Wood Gerber. It's book #8 in the Cookbook Nook mystery series.
i'm listening to A Little Life - one of the best book I've read these last few years - and reading The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa - that I have to admit I'm not understanding it properly...

Currently re-reading Ready Player One as per book club, and also Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Exactly my thought. An epic read of modern lit. I think I'll steel your definition

Magical Midlife Invasion by K.F. Breene. It's the 3rd book in Breene's Leveling Up series.
Have been listening to Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, I have been finding it quite interesting. The book references online school which feels relevant given the move to online schooling over the past year and a half.
Agree with Alannah, I’m re-reading it again before I move to Ready Player Two and enjoying it so much more n’as it feels a bit more close to home truths.
Finished Come Back to Sorrento (1932) by Dawn Powell, and am about to attempt, for the second time, The Pioneers by James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) from Five Novels, a 2007, 1,212-page Barnes and Noble omnibus of his Leatherstocking Tales.
I've started two days ago - but had a lot to do this week end, so I've read very few pages - Jalna, and I'm liking it quite up to now.
I know it's the seventh, but it was the first to have been written, so I've decided to start from here!!!! Mary contrary!

The Cabin on Autumn Peak by Danielle Stewart. It's the 5th and final installment of Stewart's Missing Pieces series.
