Currently reading The Water Room, the second of Christopher Fowler's Bryant & May mysteries; two elderly cops who run the Met Police's "Peculiar Crimes Unit". If you enjoy Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series these should be right up your Old Kent Road.


Also just start Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World by Rutger Bregman, a Dutch Historian who became well known after eviscerating billionaires at Davos for gaming the tax systems and pretending that charitable giving made up for it. He's arguing that certain ideas considered radically socialist - like paying tax, Universal Basic Income, no strings attached benefits, etc - will make society better AND richer, and using facts to support his case.


I'm also continuing to dip into Some of the Best From Tor.com: 2016 Edition ( which I believe is free on Amazon ) and is a simply wonderful sci-fi and fantasy anthology - bu then, Ellen Datlow is simply one of the greatest editors and anthologists around so that's not unexpected.

Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo is terrific! Millions of readers and the Pulitzer Prize people weren’t wrong. Unforgettable characters and a great read!

I didn’t realise you didn’t read the book you posted. Are these books you’re adding to your shelf or recommending or what?

[PattyMacDotComma]

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.

It's going OK so far. I'm being a bit slow with it, only 80 pages in so the story is still building. I've heard from a few friends that they were disappointed with it, I'm hoping I don't feel the same 😅 I love Bardugo's books but I always find it slow to get into but once I get into them I can't get enough 😄

I'm just starting Blood and Chaos by S.M. Soto

[Rukky]

I'm just starting Into the Water by Paula Hawkins!

I hope you enjoy them, Christine. I liked the second and third the best so far, but that's partly because it takes a while in the first one to settle into the premise of why Orphan X is a loner and a trained assassin!

[PattyMacDotComma]

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!

Tales From Nature: Bee by Magali Attiogbé is a sweet little picture book for toddlers. Big, simple, cheerful illustrations that show the life-cycle of a bee.

Just finished a new favourite, Scrublands! Seasoned Aussie journalist and foreign correspondent Chris Hammer excels with his fictional debut about mysterious crimes in a small, HOT country town.

I can't believe I've never read those!
Someday :D

I'm currently listening to Pratchett's and Gaiman's Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, on audible.

Also almost finished with Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, which I picked up immediately after (and because of) The Maw, by Taylor Zajonc.

The Maw is about exploring a supercave in Africa, and quotes repeatedly from Vernes' classic novel, which somehow I'd never read. So I read that next ...

How to Be a Butterfly by Laura Knowles and artist Catell Ronca is such a pretty, informative picture book that I hope it might attract some kids away from dinosaurs!

LOL is right, Christine. Two are little kids' picture books that are quick to read but take a fair time to review to get the screenshots of the illustrations. I figure that most people aren't going to buy a picture book sight unseen.

[Christine]

Well PattyMacDotCom I hope you like all of your books

[Rylie's]

Cassandra Clare City of Fallen Angels, The Book Thief, and The Blood of Olympus.
