I have finished 75% of John Hart's "The Unwilling". The violence is more than I have seen in the past from this author, but the story telling is no less wonderful.

That's amazing.

I finished my 31st book

Finished "The Unwilling". The good, bad, and ugly of family dynamics is on full display in this no holds barred thriller. The characters make the reader angry, proud, disgusted, and much more, just the way a good thriller is supposed to do. There are points in the story where my body literally jerked in surprise. The ending left me suspended in air, but am hoping this means another book following the main characters is in the wings.

I just finished reading The Last Wish. The Witcher series 0.5. I read it because I am studying turning books into screenplays. And after watching the series with my teenager figured it might be a good case study. It is.
I like the each chapter is a story. It helps in my busy lifestyle. Also how the author reveals through the dialog in the book and how well that translated to the screen.

I’ve already started the next book in the series. Sword of destiny.

I finished my 32nd book

Just started Chelsea Girls by Eileen Myles. Which is quite a quirky and beatnik style read. Enjoying it so far although the tales of her life as a young lesbian poet breaking out makes me both laugh aloud and shake my dad head at her antics.
Way to much drama, alcohol and drugs.
Not anywhere near as uplifting as say, Patti Smiths early life but it is fun to read.

[Isabel Mathison]

I finished reading 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' by Victoria Schwab (¡¡¡EXCELENT BOOK!!!), and 'Never, Never Vol.1' by Colleen Hoover. These are my reviews.

And I'm currently reading 'Never, Never Vol.2', and if I finish early, probably I'll start with 'Vol.3' too.

I read The Children of Jocasta by Natalie Haynes. I loved her A Thousand Ships, so I was looking forward to this. But Haynes deviates too much from the original myth so it is barely recognizable as the story of Oedipus and Antigone. Disappointing in many ways.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tea & Treachery: A Tea by the Sea Mystery by Vicki Delany. It’s set in Cape Cod. I loved visiting Cape Cod with my family on three different occasions. I would’ve enjoyed going to a tearoom like Lily Roberts’ and staying at her grandmother’s B&B next door. A great cozy mystery! I look forward to the second book of the series coming out July 2021.

[Angela]

I'm in a really restless phase, had a lot of trouble settling on a book to read (which isn't like me).
Now I'm reading and enjoying it so far.

I've just read two novels by Carolyn Wells' who wrote poetry, children's literature, and mysteries in the early 19th century. She has a series detective, Fleming Stone, who seems inspired by Sherlock Holmes, and leans toward the manor house and locked room set-up. They read very much like works that were meant to be serialized, which was a popular format in Wells' day. Interesting for those who may have liked Agatha Christie, Marjorie Allingham, Gaston Leroux.

[Christine]

I finished my 33rd book

[Christina]

I'm reading In the Shadow of the Banyan Tree, which is about an upper class family caught in the Cambodian revolution of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. I'm a huge traveller and have visited Cambodia so I love reading about places I've travelled to. I've just started but so far I love the beautiful descriptions of life and although I know basically what's going to happen from my knowledge of Pol Pot's murderous regime, it'll be interesting to see how this writer develops it.

Jim Morrison - The Lords and the New Creatures.
The Lords is a diff read sometimes, more linked to his early years at Uni studying film making. The New Creatures is more general, exploring his nature and view of the world in poetry.
Its a bit of a chill read really, not so many words but lots of emotion.

[Nora]

Halfway through Flash Back, a time travel story. An interesting twist on who developed the atom bomb. I can't wait to see how far Sam is willing to go to rewrite the tragic history of events in his own life. Loving it so far.

[Sandra "Jeanz"]

Just finished my fiction read which was The Mother Faultthough I must admit to loving the other cover for the book, (the orange one) The Mother Fault
And my current non-fiction read is The Workhouse: The People, The Places, The Life Behind Doors
My next fiction read is We Are SatellitesI love this cover too, the actual cover of the kindle copy I am reading is a red one......I love a great book cover!! It's like meeting someone for the first time!

[Christine]

I am on my 124th book of this year (can you tell I love to read!) and am reading The Sisters Sweet by Elizabeth Weiss. I received an e-ARC copy of the book and so far it is terrific. The story is about twin sisters whose parents have them pretend they are siamese twins and perform as such during the days of vaudeville starting at the age of 5. When the girls turn 15, one of the twins exposes the truth on stage and the other, along with her parents, have to navigate new lives. I just finished reading 12 books of the Unchipped Series by Taya DeVere and have to wait for the next book which comes out in May. A wonderful Dystopian/Sci-Fi series.

I hope to finish Deep Six today

[John]

I am still wading through interesting but voluminous David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. I am a slow reader and could not predict when I will reach the end point of the journey.

[Joey]

I recently finished an amazing YA book, The Hate U Give. I highly recommend this book! Now, I am in search of a new book, so any recommendations would be great. Thank you!

[G.R.]

I just finished Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft. It's one of the most well-written, imaginative fantasy books I've read in a long while. The author's prose is excellent, the world-building very good, and the characters nicely developed. I almost looked past it when looking for a book because the synopsis didn't seem overly exciting but I highly recommend it.

[Robin]

I've finished Superman's Not Coming by Erin Brockovich. A compelling and instructive read. I'm writing a review, but haven't finished it yet.

[Robin]

I've just posted my review of Superman's Not Coming. It is a compelling book. Well argued and very easy to read. That is not to say that the content is often less than devastating.

[Angelina]

I'm reading "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek." About 2/3 of the way through and thoroughly enjoying it.

[Olga]

I’m finishing Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. Very impressive .

[Matin]

i m finishing "A women with no importance" by Sonia Purnell.
it s breif about a professional female spy!

[Bernard]

I'm reading a book by W. D. Hussey. The book's title is Discovery, Expansion and Empire. It's quite an interesting book. I love geography and history. Hussey's book is a history book with geographical descriptions. So I took it up. The book speaks of voyages, building of empires, discovery of sea, and trade, routes and trade in different continents.


This book offers so many lessons to learn. The courage of some of the adventurers and the portugese and spanish voyagers, the courage of the natives in their struggles and resistances, the problems encountered in adventures and their resolutions and the actions and decisions by some of the people in the book all give lessons to learn from history.

I am still on David Copperfield by Charles Dickens but have recently been facing few challenges. The book is so old that the colour has turned from white to dark brown as part of ageing process. It was left behind years ago by a young couple migrating to U.S.A and I picked it up by chance from my bookshelf. The front and back covers are long gone. Pages have often been dropping off as I read along. A new problem has now reared its ugly head. As I held it this morning excitedly to resume reading, and opening it to get to where I stopped the previous evening, the spine which held the textbook together fractured unexpectedly. I found myself rather unwantingly holding two bits in place of one item. I am undeterred and wish to plod on with the desired intention and the will to reach the end point.
