PattyMacDotComma What is it about penguins that is so cute? This little Not-So-Brave Penguin surprises herself when her friend is lost. Another lovely Steve Smallman children's picture book.

PattyMacDotComma I've always enjoyed Maggie O'Farrell's mysterious stories, but I'd never read her debut After You'd Gone until now. Glad I found it! Good book and well worth a read.

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 1415 comments Finished The Orchard of Lost Souls by Nadifa Mohamed. It is about the civil war in Somalia as experienced through the eyes of three females. It was quite good.

Finished yesterday Only Ever Yours. Horrible indeed!

PattyMacDotComma Finally, I've read a Bosch mystery, The Black Echo, the first of the popular series by Michael Connelly. In 1992, LA cops fought crime with payphones and state-of-the-art pagers and faxes. And guns. Always guns. Looks like I'm in for a long ride!

Petra | 3324 comments I've finished 3 books over the past few days:

Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo: 3 star. While I found the characters interesting and broken in so many ways, I thought the humor was mean-hearted and the ending left me disappointed.
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck: 5 star. What a wonderful story of humanity and decency.
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

river woman by Katherena Vermette: 5 star. Lovely, lovely poems speaking of love, loss of a native tongue, isolation, hope, caring, history. These are beautifully told poems.

Chrissie I have completed Learning to See. It is historical fiction about photographer Dorothea Lange, a person who I assume needs no introduction.
