Gorgeous little picture book - get it before the summer road trips! The Big Adventures of Tiny House - Tiny is transformed and takes us all across the USA. I shared a few illustrations - too cute to resist. :)

Right now I'm reading "The Barrowfields" by Phillip Lewis. It's rather sad and dark, but beautiful. Previously I tried to read "The Typewriter's Tale" by Michiel Heyns. I couldn't finish it...it was so dull!
Currently reading The Wanderers by Meg Howrey and I'm really enjoying it. Next up is
which I'm REALLY looking forward to.
Oh dear, I seem to be in a bit of a reading slump....this was even worse than my last read. I made it to 71% then wondered why was I was wasting my time and abandoned it. Everyone else has given it rave reviews.....
Fatal Option by Chris Beakey https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm in the middle of Deep Undercover: My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances as a KGB Spy in America and really enjoying it so far!Next up is The Polygamist's Daughter.

Dorie - I'm trying to get through this one. I like the adoption part more than anything. So far, this is not Lisa See's best work. But only at the halfway point and it has improved. Shanghai Girls and China Dolls are my favorites. Also Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. Haven't read Peony in Love yet.
Cricket and crims!The Rules of Backyard Cricket by Aussie author Jock Serong.
Colourful story of brothers who are like a psychotic Shane Warne split in two. (Google him if you don't know him.)

I have a couple I must read and put up reviews on my blog since I was invited by the publisher on one and participating in a blog blitz for another one.

Just a comment - I have trouble reading the titles of the books that are posted with only the cover unless I'm on a laptop and can hover over it. Some of the covers are gorgeous and deserve to be seen, of course! But if I have to tap on one to see what the book is, I usually don't bother if I'm on a different device.
A thousand pardons if anyone feels offended - I certainly don't intend that!

Blood Ties by Jenny Francis, an okay read, but nothing special. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I pretty much only update my reading or check status updates and reviews. I tried checking my groups awhile back and it would only let me start from the first page and move page by page. Not sure if they've improved that feature om the phone app though.

Radium Girls sounds good or if you're in the mood for fiction, I See You

Same here, Kathryn. I use the notifications list on phone or iPad sometimes, which works, but sometimes I'd like to add a link in a comment and I can't then. First World problem! :)
I imagine fans will eat it up. :)Night Watch #4 in the Kendra Michaels series by Iris Johansen.
I haven't read the first three, when she was blind, but she's obviously kept her acute awareness.
