I have had quite the week in books, spanning a number of genres:

* About a Dog by Jenn McKinlay (romance)
* Madeline's Christmas by Ludwig Bemelmans (don’t judge, lol!)
* Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Ultimate Guide by Rick Riordan (YA fantasy)
* The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury (sci-fi audiobook—double rarity for me)
* A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn (historical mystery)

Not to mention a few short stories as well.

Thanks. Brenda! Today has been a light reading day, only a few short stories. I had intended on starting another book, but the racket above me was too distracting.

[Brenda]

You might need some ear plugs Heather ;)

My review for The Tunnel of Dreams by Bernard Beckett

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

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

This week’s non-cozy reading:

* A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories by Flannery O’Connor — I had read a couple of these short stories before, but most of the ten were new to me and somewhat depressing.

* Ban This Book by Alan Gratz — A middle grade book about censorship that I quite enjoyed.


Currently reading:

* Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury — An October Classics group read with which I am rounding out Banned Books Week (Sept 27-Oct 3). This is a reread for me.

[Brenda]

Enjoy Heather :)

Thanks, Brenda. Finished F451. Though there was a lot of it I remembered, there were also things I had forgotten (view spoiler)[such as the city being bombed after Montag escaped it (hide spoiler)].

[Brenda]

I've never read that one - hope you enjoyed it anyway :)

I am reading Winter of Despair by Cora Harrison. Interesting pairing of Willkie Collins and Charles Dickens. They play against each other quite well. Good mystery set in 1855 London.

Read a romantic short story this morning, Baby, I'm Yours by Stephanie Bond. It was okay for what it was, definitely would have been better had it been a bit longer.

[Cindy]

Almost finished with Teaching When the World Is on Fire Though I am not a teacher, I think this is good reading for anyone working directly with kids. I am a librarian and much of this can be applied to the services and resources we provide for kids and teens.
