What Are You Reading? - 2019

I bought the Edge of Lost a while ago and it's still on my TBR. I didn't realize it was the same author. I'll have to try that one first and see what I think. It may have just been poor timing for the story on my part. Her books do sound interesting to me.




A Second Death - well-worth reading thriller! Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Malaya: Essays on Freedom - disappointing. Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My Beloved World - great read! Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Clementine Churchill: A Life in Pictures - good read/great photos! Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...


I am half way through March and enjoying it a lot.

I loved that book. Backman has become one of my favorite authors.

I was reluctant to pick it up as I didn't love Ove, but I'm very glad I did :-)
Sandra, I loved March
I am listening to Meddling Kids. At 26% of the story I'm not too interested :(


If you fancy a buddy read of book 2 let me know. I could do with an excuse to buy it!!

I am now going to start English Animals for this month's group theme read.

I've got book 2 as well. I'd be up for a buddy read on it too.

Tomorrow, I'll start Heir to Sevenwaters on my quest to finish the series. I can use it in my movie mania as well.

That is my favorite by Backman. It's very different from his typical style though, almost seemed like a different author.

That was one of my top reads of 2019 Lisa. Enjoy.
Peggy and Janice- I can't believe we're about to start the second Elderlings trilogy! This is one of the best buddy reads I've ever done :-)



A Thousand Ships was the better of the two but it is not aimed at those, like me, who dabble in classics. I didn't have enough knowledge of the subject and this was not a book to explain itself as it want along. I loved Circe but felt out of my depth in this one.
The second was Meddling Kids. This was just a mess. The characters were not believable but neither were the comical as might be expected from a story based on Scooby Doo. I gave this 1 star.

That's a shame about A Thousand Ships, Margo. You would think she would have made it a bit more accessible to those who don't have an extensive knowledge of classics. I studied Ancient History at university and we covered some of the classics during the first year so I'm hoping I will get on a bit better with it.

Hope so Lisa. Should have made an effort to concentrate but there was a lot going on here now. That's the problem with library books - you don't get to choose when they come in ;-)

WW II non-fiction that reads like historical fiction - wow! Agents of Influence: A British Campaign, a Canadian Spy, and the Secret Plot to Bring America into World War II - It's scheduled for release next month. Review:

Another non-fiction - The Devil's Highway: A True Story - packs a punch and the central theme of the book is still front and center today - the Mexico/U.S. border crossings. Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

talking of favourite writers, I've just started Fingersmith for the MM challenge.


I think you'll still enjoy it, Peggy. I thought it was a fun read.


I am starting The Song of Achilles."
I hope you enjoy The Song of Achilles, Sandra. There are not enough words to describe just how much I loved it.

I hope it meets them. I think it will ;)

I'm waiting until it goes down in price .it's expensive here.

I bought the audiobook and plan on reading it next month.

I preordered the audio and I hope to read it next month as well.





:-) Peggy. I was disappointed in TofA too and felt it was a 2.5. I was in two minds about picking this one up, but wanted to give the author another go. This one definitely worked better for me. But there are too many books out there...


Good to hear it! I'm pretty sure we did a buddy read or group read for it at some point so dig it out !

If I ever come across it for less than €2, I'll pick it up and give it a go ;-)

Yes, I thought so too. I'll have a look for it.
The stupid thing is that my ebook doesn't have any chapters in it for some reason, so I don't want to read any spoilers until I'm finished.
