Going totally off what I usually read and started in on Keep Sharp: Build a Better Brain at Any Age so far it's been interesting and fortunately for me, I'm not far off his recommendations for a healthy brain.

I've read two books so far this month and working on a third.

1) 'Growing Old' by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. I really enjoyed it. She's honest about aging. Some parts sad, some parts funny, just like life itself.

2)' Greenlights' by Mathew McConaughey. I've read some pretty harsh reviews on here about Mathew's memoir but I really enjoyed it. I like his quirkiness and the greenlight, redlight, yellowlight (gut feeling) way he looks at life. I hope he continues to write.

3) Currently reading 'Know My Name' by Chantel Miller. Very well written memoir of her attack on a college campus. She's a brave young woman who was willing to go after her assailant with past and future victims of sexual assault in mind. She had a rare opportunity with two witnesses and felt she had to pursue justice. Unfortunately this story is the perfect example of how race and wealth affects sentencing.

Finished coast to coast murders

[Tamara]

I read a translation of The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Set in Stalinist Soviet Union, it combines magical realism with scathing political satire and social commentary. It was absolutely hilarious and thoroughly brilliant.

I just finished “Love Your Enemies” by Arthur C. Brooks. I wish every American would read it. He breaks down the ways in which we have become a divided country and how the media and our own behavioral responses have bred a culture of contempt. He concludes with a list of things we can all do to improve.

I really struggle with finding any optimism on this subject, so I really appreciate you suggesting this book!

Thanks

[Adriana]

Sounds like an eye-opening book. We should all read it!

[Richard]

I just finished "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr. Don't know why I haven't read this one a long time ago. Classic historical fiction. Great Read!

[Claudia]

I just finished reading Splintered Stars by Rachel Madbury. It was OK; I am not a big fan of her writing style; and the book was a cliffhanger

[Christine]

I finished my 14th book

PATH OF TREASURES

Streeter’s Gang: What a treasure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Streeter’s Gang: The Beginning

And what a beginning it was. Gail Meath is a gifted story teller. Path of Treasures is an historical fiction set around the Erie Canal during the 1850s. A few pages in and you immediately cannot put it down. The main characters are endearing, you will love the strong bond they share. The plot has unexpected twits, lots of mystery, action, funny moments as well as very tender ones.

A good story teller is when it is so believable. Gail Meath does not disappoint. And her research and her knowledge of the era brightly shine. Now I am waiting for Streeter’s Gang: « The Next Chapter ».

[3 no 7]

I read The Wedding of Zein by Tayeb Salih, translated from the Arabic by Denys Johnson-Davies.
A delightful novella about life in a Sudanese village and the village idiot who turns out not to be such an idiot, after all.

Forever with Me: A Memoir

Here is my review! So worth reading:

Deserves more than just five stars!

From time to time I have the privilege of reading a book so perfect, so gripping that a five stars review is not enough! Forever with me A memoir is that type of book. Susan Hutchinson’s book is her journey, her life on paper of the terrible lost of her two daughters, her marriage, her life, being a mother...It is real life. It’s trying, no, it’s having the way to continue living after the ripping, not once, but twice of ones heart, ones life.

I feel a great respect for the author, such a strong will to continue, to live... Her journey will bring tremendous help to others who are facing such tragedies.

The author is a gifted one and I hope she continues writing.

[Angela]

I've just finished and have just started

[Sandra "Jeanz"]

My non fiction read is Overdue by Amity Reed, which I am finding quite interesting, an insider's look at maternity care in the NHS. My fiction read is Queen of the Lycan, bk 1 in the Mackenzie Grey The Crown series by Karina Espinosa.......what can I say.....I adore the Mackenzie Grey Universe.

[Tamara]

I read The People in the Photo by Hélène Gestern, translated from the French Emily Boyce and Ros Schwartz.
An old photograph triggers a search for a long lost parent. A poignant story about the role of memory in identity formation.

[Richard]

Rebel Daughter by Lori Kaufmann. Highly recommended for anyone who loves 1st Century historical fiction! Excellent prose and meticulously researched content.

[John]

The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson. Not a murder mystery but rather a murder story. You find yourself rooting for the villain. Swanson writes in the first person. But every chapter is a different "first person" version of events. Gave it four stars.

[Fabio]

I'm reading The Satanic Verses (Salman Rushdie). It was subject of controversy when it was published. For now i'm not very exciting to read on.
