SGJ is awesome! If you like this, definitely read more by him. Each book is so different from the others...

Starr | 2 comments I just finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson. I liked it. It’s a Canadian book about an indigenous boy living with his mother and her various boyfriends. The mom is addicted to alcohol and drugs the dad is also addicted to drugs. Through it all he does what he has to do to take care of his family. Like selling drugs in school. Until he starts seeing spirits and his world gets thrown for a loop.

I read it as an ebook from my online library. If you don’t have an online library card I suggest you get one. If anyone else read this book what are your thoughts. I’ve seen mixed reviews here on Good Reads.

Rachael The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

I'm currently reading "The Invisible Life of Addie Larue". I was stuck on it for a few weeks because I found it a bit slow, but I just got to a huge plot twist (made me cry) and now I can't put it down.
It's a super raw, emotional, and analytical book that everyone should try to read!!

Cheryl (brookleybones) | 2 comments I am reading Becoming Duchess Goldblatt. It was a gift from a friend. I never would have bought it. It is funny (I don’t like funny) and uplifting and SO sarcastic! The author is witty and I thoroughly am enjoying it. It’s a 5!

Karen M | 1956 comments I just finished the an ARC of Love & Saffron: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love by Kim Fay which was a lovely book. Good one to read since the world is going crazier every day. Now I'm reading a mystery/thriller To Live and Die in the Floating World by Stephen Holgate which I'm enjoying because just when you think you know what's next, it's not.

Arthur & George

(Loved it despite having read some lukewarm reviews. Although Julian Barnes could write about brushing teeth and I'd buy a hardback of it).

Currently reading:

message 977: by Pamela (new)

Pamela Mclaren | 293 comments Have dived into the latest book for my physical book club and its one that will undoubtedly get a lot of discussion going: To Keep the Sun Alive by Rabeah Ghaffari.

It is a family saga told in two time periods: 1979 in Iran with the Iranian Revolution just around the corner, and readers are there to see the fractures in the family just as the country begins to tear apart; and 2012, with one of the family members now living in Paris.

Karen M | 1956 comments I just started reading The Children's Blizzard by Melanie Benjamin. I've read two other historical fiction books by her which I really enjoyed and I am already enjoying this one. Such a good author, well researched and factual but because its fiction she makes it so interesting.

Amber K I just started Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir which I think is Jenny Lawson's first book. I'm struggling to get into this one.

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things and Broken were easier to get into. The writing style is similar so I'm not sure why this one isn't grabbing me as much.

Currently reading Quiet By Susan Cain, So far I am really enjoying it. A great read for my fellow introverts.

LaTrica | 55 comments Currently reading Pleasure for Pleasure and enjoying it more than I expected.

I've also got a start on The Battle of Evernight mostly because Book 2 ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, and I didn't like the suspense.

A Gentleman In Moscow is one of my favorites! I just finished The Lincoln Highway yesterday and loved it just as much! I didn't love Rules of Civility though -- but glad I read it!

Ken Hollern (khollern1) | 2 comments I'm reading The Return of the King from the Lord of the Rings trilogy (which is really one long book). I just finished the Two Towers after reading The Fellowship of the Ring.

It was long past time for me to read this classic and I have enjoyed the first two books. We all basically know the story, and I've been most surprised by the lyrical and elegant writing style of Tolkien.

All the best, Ken
