Just finished Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, I gave it 2/5 stars and a decent sized review.
Currently dragging my feet through The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. For such a short read, I can't believe how long it's taking!
I'm also contemplating another read, possibly The Library of Legends or Gone Girl.

[Brenda]

I just finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie. It was a quick read but full of wisdom. I may have been a few years behind in picking up this book, but I’m glad I did!

[Pam]

Read and reviewed A Fair Maiden by Joyce Carol Oates - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3407365043.

[Sukaina]

I am reading everything and nothing by writer Nilotpal

[Tamara]

I read The Good People by Hannah Kent. Set in Ireland in the 1820s, it's a story about a young boy suspected of being a changeling and the efforts to "cure" him. Based on a true story. Irish folklore, superstitions, rituals, etc. are woven into the fabric of the lives of the villagers.

Kent is a very talented writer, skilled at generating atmosphere and cultural climate. I thought this was as good as her first novel, Burial Rites.

Esmeralda wrote: "I’m currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, which I find a pleasant coincidence regarding the crisis we are living in these days concerning racism and discrimination."

One of my all time favourites. A masterpiece. I remember first reading it many years ago and rationing myself to a couple of pages a day because I couldn't bear the thought of finishing it.

[E.J.]

Just started Girl, Woman, Other on audio.

[sonya]

I finished my 63rd book

[E.J.]

I just finished Three Hours. Pacy, gripping and satisfyingly concluded. Musing on what to start next...

[Bruce]

I am almost 2/3 through "Home for Unwanted Girls" by Joanna Goodman. It is driven by horrific treatment of young girls in the orphanages of Quebec in the 1950's. That it is historically accurate makes it at the same time both a compelling and difficult read. I can see it as a great book for a book club because it demands not only awareness but discussion Unless cozy mysteries are as serious as you get, on the basis of what I have read I highly recommend it as a good read and if you are Canadian a must read.

[Larissa]

I just finished The Beekeeper of Aleppo (highly recommend), and have started rereading Beartown by Fredrik Backman, while also in the middle of Judy Blume's In the Unlikely Event.

[Julia]

I'm right now reading A Feast for Crows. So far not one of my favorites from the A Song of Ice and Fire series :(

I read an amazing novella--part fable, part fairy tale, part myth, and part magical realism. It is The Blue Fox by Sjón. Translated from the Icelandic. It won the 2005 Nordic Council Literature Prize. The language is sheer poetry.

City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, #2)
by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was loads better than the first in the series; I still didn't quite enjoy this book enough to give it a five star rating, but definitely enjoyed
it more than book one. The plot is more solid, with plenty of scenes that were either filled with emotion, action-packed, or entertaining - sometimes more
than one of those at once. Also, it was wonderful to see some excellent character development, which we got to see a great deal of in this book. I look
forward to seeing what will happen in book three, and how the characters will continue to develop throughout the rest of the series.

Three Hours

Blown away by this book: on the first page, a headmaster is shot then moved out of harm’s way by two pupils. But this is not the fast-moving story of an American school siege. No. This is rural Somerset and the school is isolated.Everything plays out in slow motion in the silent snow-covered school, as parents wait to hear news of their loved ones. In fact love is the thread that runs through the book. While just three hours pass, the tension slowly builds and we learn who is behind the attack and why. The book is beautifully written and although it is a gripping thriller, there are many layers to the story as it unfolds.

[J.]

Well I hardly ever try to read 2 books at once, but then here I am. Right now I'm close to the end of and just started . Not sure how that will work but since one is short stories, I can switch back and forth.

[Julie]

I am currently reading Lockdown by Peter May. Amazingly prophetic...as to what we are experiencing now. Before that I finished Educated by Tara Westover. Totally showed the impossible becoming possible.

Finished Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk, translated from the Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones. I thought it was brilliant. I loved the narrative voice of the feisty old woman. So different from Flights, which I also loved. Tokarczuk is such a talented writer with an amazing range.

This week I read "City of Glass" (The Mortal Instruments, #3) by Cassandra Clare. Here's my review for it:

City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3)
by Cassandra Clare
My rating:
5 of 5 stars
Excellent read! This is so far my favourite of the series. So many feels, and so much going on... i’m loving the character development, and there were
quite a few questions from the first couple of books answered in this book too. Plus, it had a wonderful ending.

[Christine]

I finished my 65th book

[Deborah]

Took a while, but I finally finished Paul Alkazraji's The Migrant. Jude and two other Albanians head into Greece to find a man Jude's been searching for and at the request of others. The man went to Greece for work. He has not been heard from so worries abound. The three get caught up in other drama and suspense events as well. Anyone interested in reading about the crisis-ridden history between Albania and Greece, or about Albanian culture including their Code of Lek needs to read this well-written book.
