Cecelia Tichi | 74 comments Just reread THE HORSE WHISPERER, a blockbuster bestseller (and movie) of the '90s by the recently deceased Nicholas Evans. The novel holds up! The strong characters and gripping scenes of horses in peril and in careful training (the "whispering") all speed the reader forward in a story whose human twists might be predictable, but satisfying.
I confess to new interest in this "horse" novel because my "Val and Roddy DeVere Gilded Age Series" of historical crime fiction--set in the late 1890s--requires that horses be present for the saddle and hitched to carriages, all in service to the story, starting with A GILDED DEATH, set in Newport. Now writing the 5th book, my "horse" sense is keener than ever!

J. Rubino (jrubino) I'm reading "The Orange Yellow Diamond," by J. S Fletcher. Another Golden Age mystery - I see to be gravitating toward a lot of them lately.

Bec | 56 comments I just finished "Farther Reefs", which released today. It is an anthology comprised of 10 short stories that all share a common theme. With this one it's lesbians and ocean/water is the common denominator. The first anthology of this series is "Distant Gardens" which had sentient plants and/or planets as it's common theme. Oh! And Lesbians! Both are Excellent Saphic Fantasy.

There should be a lot more ratings and reviews on here but somehow, they all went missing and GR can't figure out where they went or how to get them back!!!! Don't let the few ratings and reviews discourage you from getting the book and having a great time reading it, as it won't disappoint you!!!! Thank you all!!!

There's no link, and there are at least 4 books with that title. I am assuming you are the author Richard McCann for this one, Two if by Sea?

Karen Klink (karenklink) | 15 comments Just finished Simon the Fiddler, a historical fiction set in Texas following the Civil War. Paulette Jiles is one of my favorite authors who not only does superb research, but writes wonderful, well-developed characters. Simon and his lady were side characters that appeared for a short time in Paulette Jiles's award-winning novel, News of the World.

Catherine Smaridge | 90 comments I'm currently reading Turncoat from The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. My daughter's fiance drew my attention to these fantasy books, and in a month I've gone through eight of them. While I generally prefer sci fi to fantasy, these books are really good.

Sheena Billett (sheena_billett) The Curfew by T.M. Logan. Nearly at the end and still gripped.


message 4543: by Ivan (new)

Ivan Kinsman Just finished 'Exodus' by Leon Uris - not bad, and a good novel to read if you are interested in Israeli history.
Now reading 'Gladius: Life in the Roman Army' by Guy de la Bédoyère, which is a very well researched book on life in the Roman army based on real evidence rather than speculation. He goes into a lot of detail of how the legions operated around the Roman Empire.

message 4546: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Smaridge | 90 comments I am reading Turncoat by John Butcher. It's part of the Dresden files. It's a fantasy novel about a wizard who is a P.I. in Chircargo. Harry has a half broither who is a white Vampire - they don't suck blood - a dog who is bigger than a Newfoundland that is a temple dog - they can spot spiratual activity and even kill ghouls etc, and a skull called Bob who helps him with spells. His friends include Karan Murphy, a chicargo cop, fully human, John who's a carrier of the sword of God, and Billy the wolf who's human most of the time. It's light entertainment for people who like both the detective and fantasy genres.

Kerry Kennedy | 119 comments Just finished reading, The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan. I loved it. You can check my review out against the book. I tend to get into the festive season this time of the year and dedicate my reading time to Christmas related stories and romcoms. I don't do dark, heavy or thrillers this time of year. I will write them which is weird but not read them.
