I'm reading Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography. I saw an interview where he discussed it and then saw it on the display in the Vegas airport and just loved the idea of a choose-you-own-adventure for a biography. I'm only through the dedication page but I've already laughed out loud. I hope it continues.

[Olivia "So many books--so little time.""]

Currently I'm reading Cane and Abe by James Grippando. So far it has been a page-turner.

[Carla]

I have been reading some children's books lately for Netgalley as well as . Getting ready to start for another group I am in.

I've looked at this one on Amazon. Love me some NPH!

Just finished reading (listening to) Whiskey Sour by J.A. Konrath.

The book has some gruesome scenes. But the author is really good at breaking them up with a good dose of humor and wit.

[Jeanne]

Last night I started Anne Tyler's latest, A Spool of Blue Thread.

I'm reading Buried Preyby John Sandford and absolutely loving it. I read my first Sandford novel Gathering Prey a few days ago & loved the writing and protagonist so much that I had to read another. Don't know why it took me so long to discover this guy. Gathering Prey is book #25 in the series!!

[Nancy Abbott]

I am reading "We Are Not Ourselves" by Matthew Thomas for my f2f book club. Am enjoying very much.

[Kirsten]

I started reading Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds yesterday. I continued listening to Divided in Death by J.D. Robb.

[Leona]

Reading A Heart's Promise by Colleen Coble

[Kirsten]

I've been reading In the Woods by Tana French and been listening to Divided in Death by J.D. Robb and The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas today.

[Catherine]

I'm reading three non-cozies at the moment: The Counterfeit Heiress (I don't think this one is considered a cozy?), The Possession of Mr Cave and I'm starting Water for Elephants tonight for a group read.

[Karen M]

I'm almost done reading Cat's Cradle. Strange book and having said that I am a fan of Kurt Vonnegut but just not a fan of this book.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Started Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy last night for a June group read (yeah, I'm late -- didn't have time to fit it in).

Ramla: All I Want Is You is in Mount TBR. I also have two books from her "Destiny" series to catch up on, which makes me feel a wee bit guilty since I know the author. :-/

[MaryJo]

Recently finished by Marina Chapman, and highly recommend it.

[Melodie]

Reading Finders Keepers

[Carla]

I just finished and started . This is an interesting story about a young boy who grows up in the projects in New York.

[Kirsten]

Just finished re-reading (listening) to Divided in Death by J.D. Robb

[Kirsten]

Help! Does anyone know what happened to the J.D. Robb group? It was one of my favorites and it's disappeared!

Kirsten, I saw in another group that the owners of the group don't know what happened to it, but are trying to find out. With the holiday weekend, it may be a few days before they hear anything.

[Kirsten]

Thanks, Heather L. I just noticed it disappeared and was shocked. Hope you're having a great holiday weekend. It's 103F here today. Can't wait 'til this broiling of Washington State stops.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

No problem, Kirsten. The day has been pretty good, only 82F here today, but a bit hazy from smoke drifting down from Alaska and Canada. We had a cookout at a friend's, brats and dogs on the grill. Several people left around 7pm, some for area fireworks. The few of us remaining just came in from doing sparklers and s'mores. Almost 10:30 now and still a lot of fireworks going on all over the neighborhood.

I am a moderator of a YA group and it disappeared overnight. Now I wonder if this is a Goodreads issue???

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Definitely a GR issue! Hopefully they get it fixed soon.

I hope so. My entire group is gone *poof* and we are sending a book around to each other so I need the list of group members to continue to pass it along.

[Kait]

Not a cozy, not a mystery. Not sure how to classify it, but I am loving the story. I'm reading . It's a wonderful book. The characters are so three dimensional and the story and conflict so finely drawn that I am wondering if there isn't a good bit of the biographical in there! Don't miss this if you feel like taking a trip away from mysteries.

[Teresa]

I finished The Three Musketeers over the weekend. I really enjoyed it. Now on to The Time Machine.

Yay! I love Kristan Higgins

[❂ Murder by Death]

I finished Dry Storeroom No. 1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum while I was on holiday and started reading The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way. Dry Storeroom No. 1 was really good, although I was having enough fun on vacation that it took me FOREVER to finish it. I'm also finding Mother Tongue fascinating! I keep reading parts out loud to DH... :)

[Kirsten]

Just finished reading Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

I just started reading Dead Simple by Peter James today.

I also started/finished reading The Pigeon Needs a Bath! by Mo Willems for the GCAC-2015 challenge.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I've also been listening to Frankenstein by Mary Shelley as narrated by Dan Stevens (of Downton Abbey fame).

[Karen]

I am reading Dark Witch. I am a big fan of Nora Roberts and am loving it.

[❂ Murder by Death]

I've read and finished Silent in the Sanctuary and Silent on the Moor over the last few days. They are historical mystery and sort of iffy as to whether they'd feel cozy or not. Nothing graphic, but the theme for the last one at least was enough to curl your hair, so in this thread they go.

Both, btw, great reads (although Silent in the Sanctuary was marginally better).

[Melissa]

Just starting Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune .

I'm reading To Kill A Warlock and next up is The Last September.

I really enjoyed it. It was very interesting!

I just came back from a trip that included St Petersburg and Berlin. I realized how little I knew about the history. I am reading now Fall of Giants, and just finished Leaving Berlin.

I read Silent in the Grave and Silent in the Sanctury a few years ago and loved them. Have a few more by Raybourn in Mount TBR.
