Jane Jago I'm up to my neck in Flashman and giggling like a lunatic. Highly recomnended if you aren't too worried by political correctness.

Long Pham (extere) | 1 comments Just finished The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and started reading Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler. The Night Circus was such a beautiful and magical ride, the world building is absolutely spectacular !!!

J. (jdrew) | 153 comments Finished Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Alliance and now started The Wrecker both happen to be set in nearly the same historical timeframe and I've found some of the same references in both books. Didn't see that coming. And both are about detectives who are really good at what they do.

D.K. Ratcliffe | 39 comments Prophet of the godseed by David Stewart. He's a very informative youtuber that posts book cover designs and book formatting. He is also an indie author.

It is. I'm halfway through and Kay writes quite well. The story is unfolding slowly and I'm enjoying the characterization of Ned. And the delving into Celtic and Roman Mythology .

Pam Baddeley | 683 comments Finished Gillian Bradshaw's Hawk of May, first in an Arthurian trilogy. Sadly a bit disappointing - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1390905407


message 735: by Tamara (new)

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments For those of you interested in "reading" the visual arts, I highly recommend Portraits: John Berger on Artists. It's a wonderful book. In addition to discussing artists and their art, Berger shares his thoughts on life and a host of other subjects. It's a fascinating read. I've been dipping in and out of it for a few weeks while simultaneously reading other books. I finally finished it and posted my review on Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and on my website at www.tamaraaghajaffar.com


message 736: by Tamara (new)

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments I'd heard a lot about it and finally got to read Susan Sontag's Regarding the Pain of Others, a critique of photographs of war and human suffering. Not exactly a cheerful read, but well-researched, well-written, and thought-provoking. My review on goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and on my website at www.tamaraaghajaffar.com

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments I finished reading Men in Black Dresses: A Quest for the Future Among Wisdom-Makers of the Middle East by Yvonne Seng. She is a cultural historian who returns to the Middle East to conduct interviews with religious and spiritual leaders (the men in black dresses). I enjoyed her style of writing and found the insights revealed through her interviews refreshing and comforting. I posted my review on goodreads at

Theresa (theresa99) | 534 comments Finished reading Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fau. It was interesting but not as good as I had hoped.


message 750: by Cristina (new)

Cristina Neto | 3 comments I just started "History" or "La Storia", by Elsa Morante, after having read with such pleasure her "Arthur's Island" (l'isola di Arturo). My Italian ancestors would be proud of me! Still, so far I'm delighted with the depth of her writing about normal day life during the 2nd world war.
