Kathleen Sabine I am also a big fan of spooky or anything historical fiction, especially WWII.

Karen M | 1436 comments Listened to City of Glass which is the 3rd book in the Mortal Instruments series. Not sure how many more I will listen to at this point. I also listened to Saturn Run which has started me on a scifi crave. Such a good read. Then I read an ARC of Creatures: A Novel which I really didn't care for. But then I had received an ARC of Salvaged which was pure scifi and definitely fed my need. I listened to Inferno which I enjoyed but then I'm a fan of books filled with information in an enjoyable form. And now I am listening to Station Eleven which is post-apocalyptic and which reminds me of Cormac McCarthy's The Road just a bit and I am reading an ARC of Once Upon a Cowboy Christmas which is just for fun!

Read for another group: The Dead by James Joyce. This was my second reading of it, having done so in a college Lit class, but it’s been long enough I didn’t remember how it ended. We read two other stories in his Dubliners, as well as A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I much preferred the short stories.

Cindy (cindypp) | 168 comments Currently reading Meddling Kids and really enjoying it. Just enough funny to make the creepiness worthwhile for me. Creepy and I don't always get along.

Also reading Well-Read Black Girl: Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves which I just started, but am enjoying the essays a great deal.

TracyPixel I'm currently busy with the latest Vicki Delany it's called A Scandal in Scarlet

After this, I'll go back to a series I was busy with. The Prey Series by John Sandford It features a detective by the name of Lucas Davenport and there are 29 books. I can't remember what book I'm on next. 20 I think.....It's a little heavy, so it's nice to break it up with cozy mysteries in between.

Ramla Zareen Ahmad | 172 comments I recently read Sophie Kinsella's latest publication: I Owe You One I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella and was pleasantly surprised. 

I say this because I was a big fan of Sophie Kinsella at one time. The first five or six books of her Shopaholic series and her standalones:
—Twenties Girl
—The Undomestic Goddess
—Can You Keep a Secret? 
. . . are among my favourite romantic comedies. (Saving I've Got Your Number for later to read as a special treat. My friend assures me it's as good as the books I mentioned above :-)

But then her writing just seemed to have lost its spark. The later books of her Shopaholic series didn't appeal much, and her standalone: Wedding Night actually felt like it was written by someone else! I simply stopped reading her books altogether. 

I'm glad I picked up I Owe You One, though. It wasn't a five-star read, but I could see some of her original spark in the book. Looks like I'm going to get my favourite romcom author back after all :-)

Finished The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho yesterday. Good, but not my typical fair and definitely not a fast read. Bonus: applied to two challenges. After that, I needed something lighter (not to mention a pink cover), so started April Lady by Georgette Heyer last night.

Georgette Heyer is one of my favourite authors!

I really liked April Lady.

Also enjoyed: Lady of Quality, Regency Buck, Cotillion, Arabella, Friday's Child, Frederica, Sylvester, The Convenient Marriage, Devil's Cub and several others. 

Her detective mysteries are also great. I haven't read them all yet, but I very much enjoyed the ones I did: Death in the Stocks, No Wind of Blame, and Why Shoot a Butler?

Ramla — I’ve read a couple others by her, Arabella and Envious Casca, and enjoyed both. You might like to know that Heyer will be our December featured author.

Cindy (cindypp) | 168 comments I am working my way through the Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1: No Normal collections. Also reading Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation. I have ended up with a million library holds so I am making my way through my extra large pile before I start anything I own.

Mara Kincade | 23 comments My husband and I are really into the Chet And Bernie series by Spencer Quinn. Chet is a dog. Bernie Little owns The Little Private Detective agency. They are partners. Chet narrates the stories. Anyone who has, understands and loves dogs will love this series. You'll get a lot of chuckles, too.
