My January 2017 review post is up on my blog. If you want to take a look, go here: http://ziglernews.blogspot.co.uk/2017...

[J.R.]

One of the books I'm currently enjoying is World Chase Me. Down by Andrew Hilleman. Gritty historical fiction, makes you feel the dust off the streets and smell the stockyards in 1900 Omaha. A mix of pathos and humor.

[Deborah]

About 2/3 's way through reading In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume. I'm enjoying her characterizations and I'm wigged out that the story is based on a real event.

[Krystal]

I'm on Part 4, Book Thirteen of Les Miserables,

[Jane]

In a Flash: The Wounded Hero Collection
By Annie Arcane.

This is by turns, sweet and very bitter. Not for the easily shocked, but highly recommended.

In a Flash: The Wounded Hero Collection

[Pam]

Finished Kelley Armstrong's Broken, bit disappointing. Reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1901548933

[J.]

I just finished and wasn't impressed, great plot line but moved way too slowly for me. Now reading People of Darkness and already into it. I count on Tony Hillerman to keep things moving. So far, he's not disappointed.

[Tamara]

I finished a delightful book called The Frozen Thames.
It may not be for everyone, but I loved it partly because I grew up in England. The river flowed at the end of our garden/yard, so the book brought back some wonderful memories of rowing down the river on our canoe.
I was even more thrilled when I read the author was born in Kingston-Upon-Thames, about 10 minutes from where I lived. She now lives in Canada and is classified as a Canadian author. Some of you may be familiar with her.

What can you tell me about Discworld books? I've been curious but haven't taken time to read any yet.

[V.M.]

Just finished P.A.W.S. By Debbie Manber Kuyper and enjoyed it . I'm going to review it soon.

Crikey - where to start? They are mainly fantasy, I suppose, though with elements of science fiction and huge dollops of humour. They take place on a flat, magical world, which often mirrors our own. They are inhabited by characters who fans come to love. My favourites are Death, Rincewind and the Librarian, though there are so many others: Carrot, Granny Weatherwax, Vimes, Nobby, Moist Van Lipwig...

They are my go-to series of books when I feel like a little cheering up or escapism or downright entertainment and I return to them time and again.

Like any books, they aren't to everybody's taste, but if they're to yours, you have hours upon hours of delights ahead. I'm quite envious.

[Dash fan]

Hiya Everyone
I'm currently reading Trust Me by Gemma Metcalfe via NetGalley.
Fantastic book, Page Turner. Really Recommend reading.
It's about 2 people who connect via a phone call. Liam is attempting to commit suicide while Lana is trying to make a sale. But it soon turns our that they both have a troubled past with a story to tell. But to what end!

Here's a link which sets out the order in which he wrote them:
https://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/d...

Some people argue that you shouldn't regard the first two as being representative of the series as a whole because they are more a parody of the fantasy genre and the series doesn't truly find its feet until the third. However, I love the first two as well.

Hope you enjoy!

[Rasha]

Just finished The WonderThe Wonder by Emma DonoghueEmma Donoghue for RWBookClub. I enjoyed it! If you like historical fiction it's definitely worth checking out.
Now I'm ontoMore Than ThisMore Than This by Patrick NessPatrick Ness, which is shaping up to be a good read but I'm not sure it'll be quite as good as A Monster CallsA Monster Calls. Then again, what is?

[Paul]

Recently finished this one... 'In the intro John Eldredge writes: ‘Really now, if you knew you had the opportunity to develop a conversational intimacy with the wisest, kindest, most generous and seasoned person in the world, wouldn’t it make sense to spend time with that person, as opposed to, say, slogging your way through on your own?’…

A Monster Calls is a great read!

[Mia]

I loved A Monster Calls. I just finished Providence: Hannah's Journey. Providence: Hannah's Journey
It was definitely worth my time and I'm guessing other readers will think so, too.

Just finished Dragon Princess and liked it. A different fantasy with a twist at the end that left me stunned.

I finished reading Slaying the Mermaid: Women and the Culture of Sacrifice by Stephanie Golden. It is a well-researched, well-documented study of why women are so willing to sacrifice themselves for others even if the sacrifice comes at the expense of their own health, happiness, and general well-being.
