And always a welcome reread of Alcott novels!!!

[Christine]

I finished my book called Shiver by Lisa Jackson

[LauraT]

I'm at the moment reading - actually listening in Storytel - The Mountains Sing.
Really extreamly interesting

[Nichole]

I didn't even make it to page 50 of my attempted re-read Little Women. It high acclaim has always been a mystery to me. It's a dull and cluttered book. It bored me 40 years ago, and it bores me in 2021. How I managed to finish reading it as an eleven-year-old, I have no idea.

[Nichole]

I just started reading
Shredding the Evidence by Daryl Wood Gerber. It's the 9th installment of the Cookbook Nook Mystery series.

One of my favourite book ever. I' think I've re-read it at least 10 times!!!
In Italian we say "Il mondo è bello perchè è vario"! (More or less, the world is beautiful because it's various!)

Thanks for understanding. I will give it to my youngest niece to read. She might love it!

[LauraT]

No need of understanding!!! Some books considered masterpieces of world literature - among them Memoirs of Hadrian or The Master and Margarita - I really didn't like!!!
They are really good books, I understand it, but not...my piece of cake!

I am reading Pompeii by Robert Harris. Pompeii. Am really enjoying it- such wonderful detail about Roman life and an interesting story.

[Christine]

I finished my book called The Therapist by B.A. Paris

[Teri-K]

Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry. This is my first Berry novel. I've read his essays and poems and really liked them. I've not read his novels, I realized recently, because I didn't want to be disappointed by them. I don't think I will be, though. So far it's wonderful.

I read Little Women, and in fact all 4 in the series, from my Grandmother's book shelf. She had quite a collection from her childhood - stories considered suitable for children in the first 2 decades of the 20th century.
I am not sure she had even read them all but I was a voracious bookworm and hoovered them all up.
I found the Little Women too 'holier than thou' for my taste. I quite liked Beth and Amy but Jo really irritated me.
I am considering a reread of the first book but going by my reaction to the film adaptations I don't think my opinion will have changed.

[Nichole]

We think alike, Esther! You explained perfectly some of my issues with Little Women.

[Nichole]

Consigned to Death by Jane K. Cleland. This is the first book (2006) in the Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery series. I have a lot of catching up to do!

[Christine]

I finished my book called Luke - The Callahan Brothers by Emily March

[Carol]

Imperium: A Novel of Ancient Rome by Robert Harris

[Teri-K]

Listening to Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold by Stephen Fry. Happily it's narrated by Fry, whose voice is wonderful. It's a fun twist on the way myths are usually presented. I had to laugh as the original Chaos was compared to a teenager's bedroom. :)

[Christine]

Stalked in Silver Valley by Geri Krotow

[Christine]

I finished my book called Flight by Laura Griffin

[Teri-K]

Aong other things I'm working my way through some Shakespeare. I just finished Much Ado About Nothing and am starting Macbeth.

I'm also in the middle of my first book by David Baldacci , The Innocent. It's quite good so far.

[Christine]

Matt - The Callahan Brothers by Emily March

[Linda]

I am reading and I am also reading

Both of these books are really good. I highly recommend these two books.

Someone to Love by Mary Balogh is Book #1 in the Westscott Series - I love this book.

Crown Of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas is Book #2 in the Throne Of Glass Series. I love this book. It is so good.

Jo was the rebel--I think I liked her because of how I saw her portrayed in a film. But they were rather well behaved overall, weren't they?

[Nichole]

Yes. Alcott’s writing was sedate.

[Christine]

I finished my book called The Intended Victim by Alexandra Ivy

[Nichole]

I'm reading Fatality in F by Alexia Gordon. Book #4 in the Gethsemane Brown Mysteries.

I finished my book called Matt - The Callahan Brothers by Emily March

[Christine]

Last Seen Alone by Laura Griffin

[Teri-K]

Getting ready to read Troy: The Greek Myths Reimagined by Stephen Fry. Then I'm going to try a newer version of The Iliad, translated by Lombardo. I'm hoping this will be more accessible to me than Fagles version. (I like his Odyssey, but Iliad is always such a chore for me to read!)

Also reading The A.B.C. Murders by Agatha Christie.

[Christine]

I'm reading Howards End by E.M. Forster. I thought I'd read this years ago, but apparently not. I plan on watching the movie and mini-series when I finish.

I just finished Enchanted Ever After by Shanna Swendson. It's the last in the series, which was quite fun. I'm sorry the series is over but she did a good job tying up the loose ends and leaving me happy. :)

[LauraT]

I've started these last few days several books I want to pass this week with: Half of a Yellow Sun, Crimson Lake, Nel paese delle donne and Il pianista di Yarmouk
