Just reading a fabulous book, sort of American Indian history with a mix of old and up-to-date religious aspect to it. Black Elk by Joe Jackson...not fiction.

Of course, one of my old standby's, The Third Dawn.

While I’m having a break from writing I’ve just started Deborah Harkness’ Times Convert which has reminded how much I loved the All Souls trilogy 📖 🧙🏻‍♀️ 🧛‍♂️

I just finished "The Boy on the Beach" by Andrew Blair.
I really enjoyed it. It has elements I enjoy like obsessive love, moral dilemmas and quite beautiful Machiavellian revenge.

[Tamara]

I finished The Mere Wife by Maria Dahvana Headley. Very loosely based on Beowulf, it takes place in and around a gated community.
I had some issues with the constant shifts, but the novel is compelling and raises some interesting questions.

I finished The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker. It is a retelling of the Iliad mostly in the voice of Briseis, Achilles' concubine. I thought Part 1 was very strong, but Parts 2 and 3 were pretty much a basic retelling of the events in the epic.

I'm reading The Water Beetles by Michael Kaan.

Reading blood and gold by Anne rice

[Tamara]

Finished Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese.

A difficult book to read because it includes descriptions of Canada's horrendous treatment of First Nations children at the residential schools. Difficult but compelling and very well-written.

A very unusual book that explores multiple personalities within the same traumatized individual and blends it with Igbo folklore.

[Shanna]

I just finished Chimera by CB Blankenship and I'm currently reading by Danielle Novotny It's a brilliant sci-fi novel. I'm 63% through it and it's exciting and fresh and new. The lead character I would liken to Frankenstein meets Nebula and it's got a Guardians of the Galaxy feel to it. I can't get enough!

[Zsofi]

I finished Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories by Alice Munro. I'd forgotten how much I love reading her short stories. She has such a quiet way of writing that sort of sneaks up on you. I thought it was a wonderful collection.

I finished The Fishermen by Chigozie Obioma.

Very well written, full of mythic and tragic overtones. I thought it well deserved to be short listed for the 2015 Man Booker Prize.
