Case Histories by Kate Atkinson was a re-read for me, and a good one, too! She's written book 5 of her Jackson Brodie mystery series, so I thought I'd catch up. Just as much fun this time around, and I think I enjoyed the characters even more.

Graphic novels bring the classics to life for the visual generations. Gareth Hinds has a new take on Homer's great story, The Iliad. Historic, artistic, and detailed - for young and old. I enjoyed it!

Supersize Cross Sections: Inside Engines by Pascale Hédelin is an illustrated look inside some fascinating vessels from ships to the International Space Station and even a travelling circus! I love these cutaway pictures.

If any of you have written reviews of what you've read, give us the links here so we can find them. It's always fun to see what our GR friends think. Meanwhile, here's my latest read:I enjoyed my fifth visit to the lovely Canadian village of Three Pines, which has the occasional, not-so-lovely murder. Another good mystery from Louise Penny.

Just read Rules of Civility by Amor Towles, and learned how the young and beautiful gate-crashed the rich and famous in 1938. I bet it still works!

Die Trying by Lee Child is the second in the popular Jack Reacher series. Reacher is a larger-than-life, modern-day knight errant, trying to save us all from each other. Lots of action!

I just read Pieces of Me by Natalie Hart, which was shortlisted for the 2018 Costa First Novel Award. "War-torn" can refer to people as well as countries.

REVIEW: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I just enjoyed The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd about stubborn American women fighting slavery and inequality in the 1800s. The battle continues today!

While reading The Invention of Wings, I was reminded of a wonderful short story about a family quilt I read last year called Everyday Use, by Alice Walker, who wrote The Color Purple. I included a link to the story (free) online.

I'm really enjoying Aussie author Sulari Gentill's Rowland Sinclair mystery series. Artists, weathy pastoralists, and religious nutters mix it up in A Decline in Prophets in Sydney in the 1930s. Lovely people!

I've become very fond of Czech detective Josef Slonský in Graham Brack's excellent series. Funny, good plot, good characters and a new part of the world for me. Field of Death is #4. Good read!

I just finished the heart-warming The Messenger by Markus Zusak, one of Australia's most-acclaimed authors. This is written for young people, but like all good novels for the young, it's just as enjoyable for adults.

This short short story will delight anyone who loves how books and libraries change lives! A Witch’s Guide to Escape: A Practical Compendium of Portal Fantasies by Alix E. Harrow is available free online and well worth it.
