J. (jdrew) | 153 comments Just started The Shape Shifter The Shape Shifter (Navajo Mysteries, #18) by Tony Hillerman . I like Hillerman's books and hate the fact that I'm almost at the end of the series and that there won't be anymore.

message 1316: by Robert (new)

Robert Collins I just finished the steampunk novel Unseemly Science, the second book in the "Fall of the Gas-Lit Empire" series. I quite enjoyed it. I discovered the series when I was looking through the book lists of people I follow on Goodreads, trying to find books I hadn't heard of. It was on Felicia Day's list and she liked the series quite a bit. I read the first book in the series last fall and enjoyed it. I'm hoping to read the third book down the road. In the meantime, though, I'll get back to the books I bought over the holidays.


message 1317: by Simon (new)

Simon Stanton | 6 comments I’be just finished Walter Isaacson’s biography of Albert Einstein. Like all WI’s biographies it’s a weighty tome (as they say) but very well researched. It certainly gave me a much deeper insight into Einstein’s life and character.

Really a lot to think about.


message 1319: by John (new)

John Day Can anyone help me with a quick read through of Secret Cargo, an intense action adventure thriller. I must publish in a couple of days, hence the rush.
What do you think of the story? Characters? Realism? Tension? Plot? anything else you can think of.
Message me if you can help.
Please share.
Thank you.

Jason, I'm in a group on goodreads where we're discussing Wilson's translation. You might want to consider joining the group or browsing the discussions. We do two books a week and are currently on books 5 and 6.
