I'm reading Hot Talk, Cold Science by Fred Singer. It's an expose of the climate change cabal, led by nefarious leaders who have been attempting to seize the assets of the US by claiming that climate change is caused by anthropomorphic activities (i.e. people). Much of the evidence is well beyond my comprehension of statistics, however Dr. Singer is making a case that pertinent data were not included in the conclusions that have been promulgated for the past 30 years. As a scientist myself, I want to hear all sides of the debate, since science is supposed to be completely objective. I'll do a full review once I finish.

I have just finished Loyalty and Lunacy by Richard Handy. Great novel about five characters leading up to and during the first world war.

Just read Hot Talk, Cold Science by Dr. Fred Singer. If you're interested in finding out the truth about global warming, this is the book for you! I'll be doing a full review once I organize the information that was presented in the book. Somewhere between a textbook and a novel, Dr. Singer presents hundreds of facts that have been omitted from the conversation. For example, 1) CO2 levels rise AFTER temperatures rise; 2) Surface temperature monitors have been moved away from rural areas and closer to airports; 3) CO2, not related to human activities, is rising yet it is not the predominant green house gas (GHG). Methane, nitrous oxide and water vapor have more significant impacts; 4) The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has omitted data from its reports that show the average temperature has not increased as much as models predict. It's not a page turner but it's certainly an important book to understand what is behind the global warming cabal. I'll keep you posted. Thanks

Currently reading Muir's Gambit, if you like a good spy tale then this is a winner. By the author of Spy Game starring Brad Pitt and Robert Redford. Also reading on totally other end of the scale, a Carole Matthews book more romcom/chick lit You Drive Me Crazy, and of course my second book Through The Window as i'm currently in phase3 of editing. For publication later this year

I just finished Ariadne by Jennifer Saint and am currently working through Romanov by Nadine Brandes! I posted a review on Ariadne going over my thoughts and gave it about a 3.5/5. :) I'm too early into Romanov to have any defined opinions yet.

Re-read an account of the making of Blade Runner, Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner by Paul M Sammon - reviewed - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2550670193 and The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova - reviewed - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1400868533

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin

[J.]

I've gotten very disillusioned with a lot of contemporary fiction - it just doesn't hold my interest. On the other had, I've been reading a lot of books from the early 1900s, and enjoying them. Richard Marsh's "The Twickenham Peerage" was especially good - suspenseful, ingenious plotting, great sense of voice for the four separate narrators. I also liked "The Chase of the Ruby".
Reading a mystery novel by Moray Dalton now, who wrote from the 1920s through the 1950s.

[Logophile]

Just finished Atonement by Ian McEwan for school. I enjoyed it! Now I'm reading Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson which is much less enjoyable in my opinion.

[Pam]

Read this in late June and forgot to review it - Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O'Neill - reviewed - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4806466747

[Pam]

Finished this horror/SF novel - not that keen - Stinger - reviewed - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4852919842

[M.]

I normally read Space Opera. As most of you know there are 33 sub genre catagories in SF. Well I got a book from the recommendation of a friend that was Steampunk. I picked it up on Amazon with some trepidation and surprise, I couldn't but the novel down. It was masterful, complete with a hero that you could understand and wanted to help and a bad guy that wasn't that bad and then all the rest of baddies and helpfuls. Well I even went and got the second, So I read Zero-Day and then Gauntlet by Al Davidson and heartily recommend it to all my SciFi friends, especially my Space Opera fans.

[Lina]

Just gave up on Rita Mae Brown's Miss Murphy cozies. I used to love them, but they're simply so badly written, I can't continue.
Ordered Josephine Tey's "Daughter of Time" instead, a classic. Let's see how that works.

[Christine]

I just finished an ARC for The Ghost Rider by Ellen Read. It's a great tale for readers who like ancestral paranormal in a centuries old estate refurbished to a modern resort. Reviews are here on Goodreads.

[John]

[Chad]

I'm currently reading House of Leaves...and what a trip so far. I've never read anything like it, and I know it won't spell anything out for me and I have to try and piece the meaning together. It's a trip

[Cecelia]

Writers of historical fiction read history, and right now this author of "The Val and Roddy DeVere Gilded Series," set in the Gilded Age, is deep into "Homicide at Rough Point," by Peter Lance.
This true-crime account of the death of mega-zillionaire Doris Duke's friend, Eduardo Tirella (with Doris at the wheel of the lethal vehicle) is shown to be murder covered up for decades.
A Newport, Rhode Island, story, "Homicide at Rough Point" digs deep into the fractured, fractious summer place of America's richest, and longtime Newport native and prize-winning journalist Lance steps up to grip a reader from page one!
Five stars...and counting!

YEAR OF THE RAT: Disease, Deception, and Discovery in Paradise. A Memoir Amazing feat of a powerful Mother's will. Mandatory of people living on catchment water in the tropics!

[Catherine]

Bright young Dead by Jessica Fellows. I've been trying to read a lot more recently and up 'til now I've enjoyed the different authors. However I'm finding this one more difficult. Set in the 1920's about the Mitford girls, the author tries to depict them as fun loving and thoughtful. However, it is well known in the UK that their father and several of the girls were Natzi sympathiesers. While this is a work of fiction about their early lives I can't quite relate to these women in the way the author seems to want me to.

Read Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes: Further Reflections in Natural History by Stephen Jay Gould and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4863753970

Read Rose Madder by Stephen King and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1400870346

[Nicola]

I'm reading Open Water, the debut novel of Caleb Azumah Nelson. What a read. Perhaps the best book I have read this year. It is a young man's journey into love in South East London amid the terrible prejudice suffered by the black community. It was a real eye opener for a middle class white woman. But so beautifully written. He uses neither first person or third, he addresses his character as 'you'. Fascinating. I've been drawn along at every turn.

[Richard]

Try Two If By Sea by Rick McCann as your next book! Check out the great reviews on Goodreads and Amazon! It'll be your next "best book I have read this year!"

[J.]

Finished and reviewed Moray Dalton's "The Strange Case of Harriet Hall," a Golden Age mystery. Lately, I've found that the Golden Age mysteries, despite their flaws, hold my interest more than contemporary ones do.

[Sylvia]

i just re read Julia which i co wrote with my husband because there were some typos we had missed apparently - found one of two, but realised what a good story it is all over again - do hope someone here reads it some time soon

[Steven]

Currently reading Pantheon by K.R. Paul. Very entertaining read thus far.

this does sound interesting - we need a version for the UK too lol- it is still appalling here - did you read the biography of Elizabeth Packard - written by KAte Moore called the woman they could nto solence - i ccan heartily recommend that one as a companion book on the history of mental health in USA. My Own memoir is also about my own struggle for mental health support during a PTSD breakdown and how i had to find my own ways to heal - if you want to know more- thanks for the recommendation
