I'm bingeing on WWII books - just finished Wallis in Love by Andrew Morton (which is much less sensational than his Di books & much more researched) and am now working on Marching Orders: the Untold Story of WWII, by Bruce Lee (no, not that one), about actions taken by the Allies after the decryption of the Japanese Purple diplomatic code, referred to as Magic, & the Enigma messages from Germany.

D-Day Girls: The Spies Who Armed the Resistance, Sabotaged the Nazis, and Helped Win World War II.
Finished The Art of Racing in the Rain. A great but emotional read that should come with a tissue warning.
Finished a reread of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on Monday and read The Happy Prince, a short story by Oscar Wilde, and am now reading A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett.
Finished Rocky Mountain Fugitive, a rom-suspense by a local author, and have started Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? — both for challenges.
I haven't been here in a while so here's what I've been reading:ARC The Girl the Sea Gave Back good solid fantasy sort of Vikingish
A Reliable Wife very good and I highly recommend
Read it with my BC and hated the characters & loved the book! Lots of discussion!
Shutter Island Crazy thriller that was a great read!
Sing, Unburied, Sing Did the audio version and it was just so well done. Really enjoyed it.
The Woman in Cabin 10 Did not enjoy. Was disappointed.
Finished this weekend:
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick — not a genre I usually read, but good...and different — and Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. It’s been so long since I read this, I didn’t remember much about it. Worth re-reading!

My review for
This Tender Land by William Kent Kruegerhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review for
Emerald Springs by Fleur McDonaldhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Currently reading The Crow Trap by Ann Cleeves. First 100 pages were a little slow, but now it’s picking up and quickly! A nice suspenseful murder mystery to break up all the cozies I’ve been devouring.
My review for
The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardsonhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets — I’m trying to reread the first four before end of the year to fit challenges. 😀
Listened to City of Bones and read an ARC of Red Metal. Now I'm listening to The Great Alone and reading an ARC of Chanel's Riviera: Glamour, Decadence and Survival in Peace and War, 1930-1944 which is non-fiction.
My review for
Jessie's Little Bookshop by the Sea by Kirsty Ferryhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I've been reading the Peninsular War Saga by Lynn Bryant which as the title suggests is a series following Arthur Wellesley's (he's not Wellington yet) campaign in Portugal and Spain in the Napoleonic era, focusing on the officers and men of a fictional regiment. Very well researched. Some of the books could do with some editing, but I'll keep reading as new ones are published. People who like Georgette Heyer's The Spanish Bride will probably enjoy them. Harry and Juana do appear as minor characters in the later books.
My review for
Arabella and the Magic Pencil by Stephanie M. Wardhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Listened to the second book City of Ashes and am now listening to The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock and reading at long last Where'd You Go, Bernadette.
My readathon weekend reads with reviews:
Wolfe Island by Lucy Treloarhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Matters of the Heart by Fiona Palmerhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
All the Tears in China by Sulari Gentillhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A Great Reckoning by Louise Pennyhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Where'd You Go, Bernadette made for a good BC discussion. Now I'm reading an ARC of Westering Women.
