Can a moderator please eject this troll from Goodreads? He is inundating the threads with the same stupid message about an online job that has nothing to do with our discussions.

I finished my 18th book

I finished Green Lion by Henrietta Rose-Innes.

I thought it was very good, but I preferred her Nineveh. Her books embody a message about the relationship between humans and insects/animals.

I finished The Medusa Reader edited by Marjorie Garber and Nancy J. Vickers.
It's a comprehensive anthology of excerpts referring to the figure of Medusa and her myth. It begins with Homer and goes all the way to Gianni Versace's adoption of her face for his logo. I recommend the book if you're interested in Medusa.

Finished rereading My Dear Hamilton: A Novel of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton and found it to be more of a historical romance than historical fiction. Just wasn't my kind of read.

Just starting Kandi J. Wyatt's Dragon's Future and enjoying it so far.

[Rita]

Just read Kate Morton's The Clockmaker's Daughter. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Long, complicated, good.

Read book 3 of the Vis trilogy by Tanith Lee but sadly this one didn't really gel for me - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3184781494

I am about halfway through Crystal Conquest . So far it's rolling along and every bit as good as book 1 in this series. If it finishes out as strongly, I'll be getting book 3.

[Gracie]

I am reading A Long Way Down, by Jason Reynolds. I am really enjoying the book so far. The only thing that really surprised me was that the book is written in a sort of poetic approach. I'm used to there being paragraphs, but however the book is written is not a problem for me, just as long as it's interesting. I've only reached about halfway through the book so, please, no spoilers!

[Ana]

I am reading Odesa from the Spanish author Manuel Vilas. It’s the new auto-fiction era! I got quite enthusiastic for this type of writing after reading Karl Oce Knausgård’s My Struggle.

This week is another where I read a lot of short books, so ended up reading several, with the result that I read six books this week. All by the same author too. Yes, really. Like I said, they were short ones, though most definitely not because they were children's stories, so please bear that in mind. Anyway, here's what I read, along with my book reviews.

Male Lovers of Silvery Earth Volume 3
by Barbara G. Tarn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm giving this the whole five stars, but my actual rating is 4.5 stars; I'm rounding up. Why? Because mostly the stories were fantastic, and in all cases the characters were interesting and the worldbuilding was wonderful, but I was a bit disappointed with the ending of "Princess Sapphire" which seemed to come too easily. Other than that though, this is another excellent collection of stories by this author, which are great additions to the overall series.

Relationships
by Barbara G. Tarn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a great collection of enjoyable and sweet stories.

Rogue
by Barbara G. Tarn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an excellent addition to this series, and it was great to get to learn more of Hal's story, while having more of the overall story filled in.

Mumbai Dreams
by Barbara G. Tarn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A sweet and enjoyable quick read.

Joint Operations
by Barbara G. Tarn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a fast-paced action-packed read, with great characters and an interesting plot.

More Fairy Tales Revisited on Silvery Earth
by Barbara G. Tarn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
These are really quite sweet fairy tale retellings. If you're a fan of m/m romance - or simply don't object to happily ever after not always being between people of different genders - and enjoy a good fairy tale retelling, you'll enjoy these stories.

I just finished The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and am now reading Daughter of Molokai. So far in 2020, the books I've read have been four and five star reads.

[Trana]

I'm currently enjoying What the Wind Knows which I downloaded it to my Kindle awhile ago. I'll probably finish reading it later today. Not sure what I'll read next - there's one I'd like to read for research, so it may be that one.

[V.M.]

I am currently reading Londinium, by Debbie Manber Kupfer. It's book 4 in her P.A.W.S. books. These books are enjoyable. They tell of shapeshifters, werewolves and animagi. I would say they are YA books but can be enjoyed equally by adults who like fantasy. They are set in our world, not a fantasy world.

[Faith]

I've read 11 so far this year. Apart from a volunteer self-pub beta read that I'm behind schedule with, I'm currently reading Theory of Bastards by Audrey Schulman. So far, there's a lot of rude stuff about bonobo apes, so I'm unsure where this story is going and why.Theory of Bastards

[Tamara]

I finished Elsewhere, Home by Leila Aboulela, a collection of short stories with variations on the theme of the challenges and rewards faced by immigrants in their adopted country. It's a good collection but the focus was a bit repetitive.

I am currently reading a non fiction book Hitler's Housewives: German Women on the Home Front it really is an interesting read and comes from the prospective of German women and what was expected of them during Hitlers reign and WW2

This week I read two books. So, here's what I read, along with my book reviews.

The Poinciana Tree
by Rita Lee Chapman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was an enjoyable read. It’s well-written, has an intriguing plot, and contains a cast of interesting characters. However, while it was a wonderful
read in many ways, it didn’t grip me the way this author’s previous mysteries have. Maybe it’s just me, and has nothing to do with the book. I don’t know.
I mean, it was a great book, with plenty of twists in the plot, etc. But it didn’t grip me the way the author’s previous books have. I still thoroughly
enjoyed it though, and would still recommend it to mystery lovers.

Leith's Vegetarian Bible
by Polly Tyrer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was brought for me by a family member as a gift, and I'm glad it was, because it seems like an excellent book for a vegetarian - or even a vegan
- to have a copy of (I'm a vegan at this point, but was still vegetarian when the book was brought for me). I love how you get all kinds of information
on the vitamins and things you can find in various foods as well as the recipes. I'm no expert, but from what I've read elsewhere from those who are, it
seems like pretty reliable information. It's great that you get measurement conversions too. As for the recipes: well, I haven't tried any yet, but they
look amazing, and generally pretty straight-forward to follow. Plus, many seem to either already be vegan friendly, or could be easily adapted to become
vegan friendly, which I was glad to see. I only don't give it the full five stars because I think the way the recipes are organized is kind of weird (it's
done by main vegetable ingredient, rather than course) and also because I haven't actually tried the recipes yet, because I was so over-whelmed with the
number of choices that I never got around to picking one to try.

[Tamara]

I read The Plains by Gerald Murnane. I read his Border Districts last year. Well, this is another strange and fascinating book. I'm not sure how he does what he does, but the effect is mesmerizing.

Just finished Michael Robotham's "The Secrets She Keeps", the best suspense novel I've read in a long time. The content is often disturbing, but it's superbly crafted, a real page turner.
