Just finished The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. It's a powerful story that's timely. My book club is going to discuss it and I think it will provide fodder for a lively discussion.

I quit in the middle of MAYFLOWER by Nathaniel Philbrick—very dense, but I learned a ton about my radical Puritan ancestors. Just finished A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW by Amor Towles. This is, of course a big fat best seller. It's not going to change the world, but it sure is fun. Now reading A MAN CALLED OVE.

Just beginning Magician: Big Read Little Reads Sampler

I read The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine by Alina Bronsky. It was quite good, but I didn't think it was as good as Baba Dunja's Last Love.

Just finished Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Janice]

Just finished, Mercedes Lackey's book, "Fortunate Fool" (Five Hundred Kingdoms, #3.) A slow start, a better finish. I enjoy Mercedes Lackey's writing, however, I enjoy such a wide variety of writing styles and various genres that I only read one of her books occasionally.

Just started reading, Daniel Silvia's book, "The Kill Artist." A switch from just completed above book which is a moderately-light adult written Fairytale to a heavier-storyline of a modern day spy novel. This is my second book by Daniel Silva. I find his writing intriguing and written well.

[Andreas]

Currently reading Patrick de Witt's The Sisters Brothers and I am really enjoying this on. Interesting note on the book; It was inspired by a Time-Life book on the California gold rush that De Witt found at a yard sale. Inspiration is anywhere and everywhere!

[Cathy]

I'm reading Seeing Red by Sandra Brown and absolutely loving her descriptions through thought and dialogue. I don't like a lot of narrative; I enjoy learning things through conversation, and this book has that. Trapper is hilarious, and Kerra is a girl whose personality I really admire. I can't put it down, and I've only just started it.

[Krystal]

I just finished re-reading and now I'm re-reading

[M.L.]

Just finished Nevermore by Kelly Creagh, just started Quantum Mechanic 1 by Jason Faris. Love both.

[Tamara]

I finished The Pyramid by Ismail Kadare. It is ostensibly about the building of a pyramid for Pharaoh Cheops. But it is really about the tools of oppression used by totalitarian governments to keep the masses under control. It may not be for everyone, but I thought it was great.

I just finished reading GOOD ME BAD ME by Ali Land. Now I am starting on LAGUNA by Michael Putegnat.

I've just finished Who Let The Gods Out, by Maz Evans. Picked it up by chance at a World Book Night swapping session. A real find. A children's book, cross between Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. Loved it.

I finished The North Water by Ian McGuire, a historical novel set on a whaling vessel in the 1850s. I enjoyed it and recommend it if you are willing to tolerate the vulgarity and violence for the sake of authenticity.

I'm reading another Tony Hillerman mystery, . A quick and fun read that has touches of Indian culture that make the book worthwhile on top of the mystery.

[Suilyaniz]

I just read Where'd You go Bernadette. It was light with quirky characters and unusual plot but a lot of warmth and fun, too.

[Tamara]

I finished Dust by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor.

A challenging book. Fragments, flashbacks, no transitions, choppy sentences, etc. The style captures the trauma of a family dealing with a son's murder and intertwines their story with the political turmoil of Kenya from the 1950s and late '60s.

I struggled with it in the beginning, but once I got used to the style, I enjoyed it. It may not be for everyone because the writing is a bit of a challenge.

I just started The White Raven and at least the beginning is a grabber.

[Jill]

I'm well into The Sport of Kings and loving it! The title refers to thoroughbred breeding and racing, which I have absolutely no interest in, but the story is actually more about the interbreeding of people than of horses -- family legacies, rebellions and racism. The characters are fascinating and the writing is absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad I didn't just dismiss this book thinking it was going to be about horses!

[Simi]

Now that I have finished The Wrath and the Dawn book, I'm moving onto to reading The Rose & the Dagger. I just started reading it, today!

[Pam]

Read book 3 in Jayne Castle's St Helen's trilogy, Orchid and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2108841818.

Damia by Anne McCaffrey. It's the sequel to "The Rowan".

[Pam]

Not that enthralled by a Buffy the Vampire Slayer novel - Child of the Hunt - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2118262802.

[Tamara]

Finished Benediction by Kent Haruf, the third book in the series about Holt, a fictional town in Colorado.

A great novel. Haruf was a master at writing in an elegant, simple, clear style about characters who warm the heart. I loved the novel as much as I loved Plainsong (# 1) and Eventide (# 2).
