Finished Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield.She's a gifted writer and it's a wonderful book.
It flooded me with a lot of personal memories of growing up in England with a tributary of the River Thames flowing at the bottom of our garden.

I liked We Were Rich and We Didn't Know It: A Memoir of My Irish Boyhood very much.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I find it difficult to read Little Boy from start to finish. It is a book of poetry, a mix of philosophizing and autobiographical facts.I have stuck in a short story--The Daughters of the Moon by Italo Calvino, an author I have wanted to test for a very long time.
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
It's over-the-top adrenaline, action, and high-tech when Gregg Hurwitz brings Orphan X, aka the Nowhere Man, Out of the Dark and pits him against US President Jonathan Bennett.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I have finally read the very first Disc World book, The Colour of Magic, by the much-loved, late Terry Pratchett, whose phenomenal output earned him a knighthood. What an absolute romp of a book!

The other did not work.
Finished The Sun Is a Compass: A 4,000-Mile Journey into the Alaskan Wildshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Finished Outline by Rachel Cusk.An unusual novel consisting of a series of conversations which are akin to soliloquies or monologues with virtually no plot. Maybe not for everyone, especially if you like a lot of action in your novels, but I thought it was brilliant.

My review of Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield
Intriguing read

I really enjoyed In Pieces by Sally Field. It is not your typical actress autobiography; it goes into why she is the person she it. She has an unpretentious voice that is a delight to listen to.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
