Judy, I think we have a similar taste in books. I also own "When We Believed in Mermaids" I haven't made my way to reading it yet but soon :-)

[The Ravishing]

and yes Sketch, that is the best of books and reading, so many genres and different types of books and with everyone coming from a different background, books and genres resonate with people differently, some we love together, others we agree to disagree but it's all about mutual respect for each other and our mutual love of books and reading. I love it. I hope you enjoy your next book more ;-)

I think that Jasmine, Judy, we should all start the book at the same time and then have a mini book review about it..... what do you think?

[The Ravishing]

I think Dec 1st would work. I will try to time my current reads to finish up by then. I can have it done in about 4-5 days depending on how real life scrambles things. How about you Jasmine?

LOOKING FOR A "HOT OFF THE PRESSES" NOVEL TO GIVE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON? Look no further--Beyond: A Tale of Discovery on the Other Side of Life

Beyond is a supernatural thriller based on the groundbreaking idea that humans finally make visual contact with ghosts via gifted ‘seeing’ dogs and a newly developed AI software whereby the dogs wear a headset and the apparitions can be seen on a computer screen.

Most of the drama takes place in the haunted Crescent Hotel located in San Francisco. The story begins with Laura Haskell, an established, boozy author of fantasy fiction who lives in the penthouse, of a haunted hotel with her amazingly intelligent white German Shepherd, Cloud. Laura inherited the famous boutique hotel from her eccentric grandmother, Elizabeth Schuster, a notorious madam of ill-repute.

Cloud’s POV is sometimes shared as an anthropomorphic literary device. He is the hero of the story representing the contributions to life that all God’s creatures make.

The drama part of the story is filled with several suspenseful subplots: 1. Through the use of this technology they discover the mystery of who Laura’s grandfather was. 2. There is a malevolent apparition that terrorizes Laura for a time.

Other subplots: The sobering up of Laura, the main protagonist, and her love story with the Sean, the dreamy ghost finder who ends up marketing his ghostly adventures to FilmFlix.

The finale: After all this plus, the subsequent marriage of Laura and Sean in a Scottish Castle, the story takes an unexpected hairpin curve in the final chapters. You will laugh and you will cry and sometimes your jaw will drop on the ground in disbelief, but after reading this novel, you will forever wonder: could that be what is like Beyond?

I am reading Caste: The Origins of our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson. Ms. Wilkerson thoroughly researched the issue of caste and provides a distinct depiction between caste and racism.

I totally agree. Most important book I’ve read so far in 2020 .

[Bernadette]

Just finished American Dirt. Definitely added to one of my all time favorite books. Despite some criticism of the author I thought it was a phenomenal book.

[Catherine]

I thought was phenomenal as well! I reviewed American Dirt early on when the author was getting so much negative press. As much as I’ve read about the plight of Mexican authors and why they resent this book, I will never understand why everyone can’t write a book about anything they want to and a hope to hook an audience who likes their work. Jeanine Cummins wrote a hell of a story—she deserves all the accolades people want to give her!

[Stacy]

On Earth we're briefly gorgeous by Ocean Vuong - so much beautiful language and so hard feelings of the main characters...

[Sagar]

I'm reading A promised land by President Obama. Enthralling and informative.
