I read The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers.

I loved it! I thought the language was beautiful, the characterization flawless, and her depiction of a young girl's confused emotions impeccable.

Wow "C", you read a LOT. EVer since I started writing, my books read have dropped....
I did just read The Young Elites, and I have to say I don't relaly like anti-heroes. Especially when they get worse, not better.

I'll agree with that.

I just finished "The Female Persuasion" by Meg Wolitzer. What a brillliant portrayal of a powerful older woman's influence on a young feminist, as well as a meditation on feminism of different stripes. A definite must read!

[Pam]

Read Eclipse by Margaret Tabor - nothing about an eclipse, but more an alternative universe tale - and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2378838777.

[Mark]

Currently reading Frank Norris, McTeague. I plan to finish it in the next couple of days. Norris's naturalism in this novel isn't as relentless as in, say, The Octopus. Even in the latter parts of McTeague there are little oases of romanticism in the overall naturalistic desert.

[Tamara]

Finished Frankenstein in Baghdad. I have mixed feelings about it--strong in some areas, not so in others.

Yesterday evening I finished Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb, the first book in her "Farseer Trilogy." It was quite an interesting and engaging novel. The world was unique, as was the magic, and the story was fairly compelling. I hoping I can get to the rest of the trilogy sometime. For now, though, I have one more book that I bought over the holidays to read.

Just finished reading The Poisoning Angel by Jean Teule; brilliant I thought. Dark, witty, simple and horrifying all at once. Liked the liminal edge he trod.

Today I finished Throne of Jade, the second Temeraire novel. I enjoyed it, though it wasn't quite as fast-paced as the first book. Still, I do want to continue with the series. It's interesting to read a fantasy series set in alternate-history Napoleonic Wars. My next read will be a novella that's given me the idea for an upcoming story I'll be writing soon.

[Pam]

Read The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K Dick and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2389312252.

Sharon Cameron has a duology. I just reread them and they're really pretty good. Steampunk YA, but adults would probably enjoy them too.

[Tamara]

I just finished Moving the Palace by Charif Majdalani, a Lebanese author. The novel recounts the early 20th Century adventures of his grandfather traveling through the Sudan and Egypt while acting as a translator for the British. It is an absolute gem. I loved the narrator's dry sense of humor. This is one of the best books I've read all year.

[Bruce]

I have just finished two books . I without hesitation gave five stars to each. The first was "Regenesis" by X.J. Cherry. The second was "Seven Views of Oduval Gorge", a Hugo and Nebulla award winning novella by Mke Resnick. The first I found challenged some beliefs and the second was quite thought provoking.

[Keith]

Just finished listening to The Unremembered Girl.

Currently reading Truth Seekers: Ten Amazing People Who Found It!.

My whole life I’ve meant to read 1984 by George Orwell.
I just ordered it in at the library. Yeah they had to get it in 😕 They didn’t have any of his books 🤨
Ah well ... here goes and I’ll be back at yas 👍

I've just finished Rose Water by Maziar Bahari and am still reeling from it.
I've started The Look of Amie Martine and the Power of Amie Martine, and I already have questions to ask Laurie Perez. Maybe I need to read on a bit and the questions will answer themselves.

Yesterday evening I finished Michael Kohlhaas by Heinrich von Kliest. It's an influential German novella published around 1810. Among the works inspired by it are the novel Ragtime and the film based on it. I came across the story at TV Tropes. The plot has inspired a fantasy story I'm planning on writing, so I decided to real the novella.

It's quite the read. It's very much a story of how corruption among the nobility causes rebellion among common folk. There are also instances of mistakes made that end up complicating the story further. Yet there's also this mysterious fortune teller, who may actually be able to see the future, and how that complicates the plot towards the end, which gives a fantasy twist to an otherwise realistic work. I found the ebook in a collection of German classics at Project Gutenberg.

I've read through all the books I acquired last year. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to take another run at a classic I paused in my reading, or if I'm going to buy some new ebooks. I have writing to do, so I'll take some time to think about it...

Hello Readers/Authors!

I'm currently reading the Rooster Bar by John Grisham. It's about a law school in DC and I've just hit page 57. Now there's flashing blue lights on a bridge so I must get back to it.

Next up I'll be looking for that summer read ... and a beach to go with it!

I finished The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. It's got gothic elements, mysterious happenings, ostensible sightings of a creature that lurks in the night, and love interests. A wonderful book by a very talented writer.
