Just started reading Nightwalker by Heather Graham

I knew I'd enjoy Elizabeth Strout's latest book, Oh William!, and I was right. She knows people inside and out, and it is a delight to be caught up in her stories.

This is Lucy Barton's memoir, but you don't need to have read My Name Is Lucy Barton first. It's a standalone.

I'm a fan of picture books that will prompt ongoing conversations between grown-ups and children. Together Again: A Story About Joy by Kochka is about a little boy who's about to burst with anticipation!

Right now I am reading To the Summit: A Woman's Journey Into the Mountains to Find Her Soul. I love the subject (climbing Mt. Everest), the author does a lot of whining and talks to her head ... Martha ... way too much, but I plan to finish it.

Here is my 5 star review of Forgotten in Death by J.D. Robb. This is the 53rd book in the Eve Dallas In Death near future police procedural / romantic suspense series and gets me current on the series.

My Name is Anton by Catherine Ryan Hyde will be enjoyed by her fans. I also think younger readers would like this story of a young man in love.

I must read more Jeffery Deaver! I enjoyed his latest Amazon Original Story, Cause of Death, which could easily have been deveoped into a novel. While the title may not be unique, the cause of death certainly is.

Finished Affaire Royale last night. It’s an early romance by Nora Roberts and was good, though I did correctly guess who the perpetrator was.

I finished reading Tainted Bodies by Sarah Robinson. This is book 1 in The Photographer romantic suspense trilogy and ends with a cliffhanger. Luckily, I have all 3 books and will be reading the other two in August.

I have just started reading The Lost Queen by Signe Pike

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Started Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly yesterday, which has been in Mount TBR far too long. Am about halfway through and enjoying it. Very readable and not dry as a lot of nonfiction can be. (And no, I have not yet seen the movie.)

Finished last night. I saw that some people thought this was dry, but I did not feel that at all. I rarely read nonfiction because I find most of it dull and dry, but this book kept my attention throughout, and I read it in 2-1/2 days — even with the distraction of the Olympics.

My review for The Perfect Family by Robyn Harding

[PattyMacDotComma]

"Revolutions never start at the top." Aussie social psychologist Hugh Mackay has studied and written about the Australian community for decades. The Kindness Revolution: How we can restore hope, rebuild trust and inspire optimism is a terrific resource for anyone wanting to make a difference, not only in Australia.

I loved Akwaeke Emezi's debut novel, Freshwater, but I think other readers will enjoy The Death of Vivek Oji more than I did. Love, sex, acceptance.

I finished reading Chosen by Fate by Virna DePaul. This is the second book in the Para-Ops series and can be classified as urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and supernatural suspense. Unfortunately, it didn't hold my attention.

I just finished Code of Honor and am now reading Bridge of Souls . AFter 11 cozies in a row, I was in need of something else and middle grade was calling my name.

Started the second book in the Kørner & Werner series The Butterfly House

Listened to Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke this afternoon. Very philosophical and thought-provoking.

I am reading a really good paranormal Brimstone Bound by Helen Harper. Very well written

[PamG]

I finished reading Her Deadly Touch by Lisa Regan who brings murder, drama, grief, and suspense to a well-written and dramatic police procedural and crime thriller set in Denton, Pennsylvania. This is the twelfth book in the Detective Josie Quinn series and the third book that I have read by this author.

My 5 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I also finished a humorous short story. Cost of Care by Betsy Robinson. My 5 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Reading Spellbound by Rebecca York, a paranormal rom-suspense from 2005 (a Popsugar challenge book).

[Brenda]

Hope you enjoy it Heather :)

[Julie Austin]

Currently reading The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes. It's listed as a suspense novel and, boy, is it ever!

[Cindy]

Currently reading For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood... and the Rest of Y'all Too: Reality Pedagogy and Urban Education . I am not a teacher, but a librarian in a rural area, but I love reading teaching pedagogy and this book has been on my radar for awhile.

My review for Home Truths in Tumble Creek by Louise Forster

I loved John Boyne's latest novel, a satire about The Echo Chamber that is Twitter. The Cleverley family is less than clever, but oh, so funny, as they learn what being cancelled means.

I often admit that I have a soft spot for short stories, and I've just read two very different ones. Both are FREE and I've included links where you can find them.

Well-known author Amor Towles wrote The Line about a simple Russian peasant, Pushkin, who finds contentment easily, while his wife keeps seeking greener pastures.
4★ Link to my review of The Line

On a completely different and funny note -

Cost of Care by Betsy Robinson is an extremely short story that is bound to delight you! Spare a few minutes to see a pair of entitled folk get their come-uppance. Supremely satisfying!

I am reading Eleanor by David Michaelis. a very good biography of Eleanor Roosevelt. Some biographies can be sleepers but this is very good. Lots of interesting information.
