Bruce | 3119 comments Random question - why are my goodreads reading progress percentages and pages read not recording anymore? I just noticed it today. I’ve tried various things, like the app on BOTH my devices, and safari on both devices. I also deleted and reinstalled the app and it’s still not working.

I don't use the app, but I just updated my progress & it works for me. It may be the app. What I have noticed is that once again, updates are behind. My last update came from 50 hours ago which is unlikely in reality.

Araych | 676 comments A Dead Man in Trieste A Dead Man in Trieste (Seymour of Special Branch, #1) by Michael Pearce by Michael Pearce

Seymour of the Special Branch #1. In 1910 the British Consul in Trieste is killed and Sandor Seymour, a British cop, is sent to investigate. Reads almost like a cozy. Interesting style. Fun if you're in the right mood. 3 stars.

Bruce, I just heard back from support:

"I'm sorry for the trouble! Our developers are aware of a couple of bug that are both preventing users from updating their reading progress from the iOS app and causing the feed not to update, and they're working on fixing it. "

btw: they suggest going to the desktop site to update your progress

and for those of you not getting updates, they have no idea how long the situation is going to remain like this.

Kymm | 639 comments I like to read spooky stories or Halloween themed thrillers and mysteries this time of year and found Hallowe'en by Agatha Christie, but it's #22 of #24 in the Hercule Poirot series. Does anyone know if I need to read all the previous books to follow along or if it can be read as a stand alone? Thank you!

No, not at all. It's easily read as a standalone.

Finished The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths. I read this because it won the Edgar award for best novel, very disappointing. Boring characters and underwhelming mystery. Rating - 2/5

Solomon vs. Lord #2, OK to read as a stand-alone. Lightweight legal mystery set in South Florida. Fun, easy read. I liked it, 4 stars.

James Best (jamesbest) | 299 comments Now starting A PRIVATE CATHEDRAL by James Lee Burke, the 23rd book in his ongoing series featuring Louisiana detective Dave Robicheaux.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9972 comments Chasm City Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds by Alastair Reynolds

Chasm City is the sequel to Revelation Space but works fine as a standalone.

In this sci-fi story, a former soldier is on a revenge quest to kill a man who's escaped to Chasm City, a place that harbors the horrific Melding Plague.

Good world-building and an action-packed plot. 3.5 stars

PattyMacDotComma | 920 comments Countless readers have loved the thriller I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes, and I wish I were among them. I did read nearly 300 pages before I gave up, though.

I finished Snow by John Banville about 2 a.m. this morning. I need to give myself time to think about it. Moving on to The Onion Field.

I've also read a combo book from Stark House, Too Many Bones / Blood From a Stone by Ruth Sawtell Wallis, 1943 / 1945. Fun mysteries, especially the first, although if you're ever looking for an archaeological mystery the second is quite good as well.

Araych | 676 comments The Angels Will Not Care The Angels Will Not Care (Cecil Younger, #5) by John Straley by John Straley

Cecil Younger #5, OK to read as a stand-alone. Cecil is hired to investigate deaths aboard a cruise ship, deaths which may not be natural. Straley has a unique style and it took me a while to adapt, since I haven't read him in quite a while. But once I did the plot, characters, action, scenes all took off. 4 stars, I liked it a lot.
