"Please let me know how you like it! I love Lisa Gardner's books but haven't read that one yet.
I read Memento Mori by Muriel Spark.A group of elderly people receive anonymous phone calls reminding them they're going to die. The novel wasn't at all bleak or morbid. It was humorous, with authentic characters, and wonderful dialogue.

Currently reading Machine by Elizabeth Bear. Set far in the future, a spaceship that works as an ambulance finds two ships that are interlocked together. One is very old, one is newer, each holding species that are not compatible (meaning if exposed to each other, they would both die). The story is surrounding the mystery of why they are connected and how it came to be. Really interesting, though I've been reading it fairly slowly. It isn't my typical genera, but I'm still enjoying it!
I'm currently reading Bridge of Clay by Marcus Zusak. I loved The Book Thief and this one is great as well!
Greetings Everyone,2 books on the go currently !

I am reading a science fiction book, called Stranger Things: Darkness at the Edge of Town, by Adam Christopher. Almost finished it and it is an awesome novel.
I read Supernavigators: Exploring the Wonders of How Animals Find Their Way by David Barrie. It is full of fascinating insights on the navigational tools of animals, with particular focus on insects and birds.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I read Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh.A hilarious satire that skewers British societal norms of the 1920s.

I agree, Lisa Jewell is such an interesting writer. 'I Found You' is another great (and poignant) Jewell read.

Recently finished Calvino's: Mr. Palomar Mr PalomarI thought it was wonderfully profound and insightful little bits of fictional phenomenology and contemporary philosophy but in the form of a man's life and observations, brief but poignant!
Currently reading Rothfuss': The Wise Man's Fear The Wise Man's Fear
I am constantly torn between putting it aside so that I can finish it closer to the release of the final King Killer Chronicle installation or plowing through it because the story and its characters are amazing and make you beg for more with every one of its 1,000 pages!
Also just finished final edits to my next book: Alethea's Dreams Alethea's Dreams

I have just finished Come Fly With Me The Jet-Age Story of the Women of Pan Am, which I really enjoyed. There is a great mix of personal story and world events. I've reviewed it on Good Reads and on my blog robrjo.com
I just finished Through Hell and High water by Victoria Liiv (4 stars); a great read, you can find my review here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Not my usual genre at all but caught a quip of Red Morning Child by Michael Asselin and loved the writing style. It is dark, creepy and paints a very vivid picture of an morbid fantasy world. I am enjoying it very much so far. Wait. Maybe, "enjoying" is the wrong word. Maybe a more accurate description would be, "collecting an entirely new dimension's worth of horrific visual pageantry to be tormented by the next time I let hippies feed me a mushroom pizza at a Grateful Dead concert."
Red Morning Child
I just finished reading Anxious People by Fredrik Backman, and started rereading his Britt-Marie was Here.
