[Jannelies (living between hope and fear)]

I just finished The Perfect Mother

[Barbara]

Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver

This novel - about families, politics, science, economics and decaying houses - focuses on two very different families that lived in a New Jersey town 150 years apart.

Good story. 3.5 stars

Death of an Art Collector by Robert Goldsborough

Nero Wolfe #14, OK to read as stand-alone. It's always nice to spend some time again with Archie, Nero, and the gang but this effort tastes like lite beer. The title is much too on-the-nose, the dialogue is stilted and the plot resolution is almost non-existent. I know Stout's daughters OKed this series but this one's a disappointment. 3 stars because it's Archie and Nero but it's really 2.

Currently reading How to find love in a bookshop by Veronica Henry... yes it’s a gushy rom com novel but sometimes that’s what you really need.

[Bill]

The last two books I've started are

The Rehearsal by Eleanor Catton (strange so far)

Wall Of Eyes by Margaret Millar (very interesting, flowing nicely)

[Christine]

[Christine]

[Jupiter]

finished Close Your Eyes

[Patty]

Bill, I’ve read Wall of Eyes and The Iron Gates; the two Inspector Sands books by Margaret Millar. I enjoy her writing.

She's a favourite of mine, Patty. I've been searching for her books for a few years now..

[Patty]

I’ve bought many of her books second hand from Abebooks.com. Two Christmases ago, my husband bought me The Complete Margaret Millar. That’s where I got the Inspector Sands books. I’ve put the link for that below.

The Woman Who Walked in Sunshine by Alexander McCall Smith

Mma Ramotswe takes a little vacation while Mma Makuski runs the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency for a couple of weeks. As usual, a number of clients are helped.

It's always a treat to visit with the favorite characters in this series. 4 stars

You're making good progress Christine. 😊

Bill, the set looks beautiful on my bookshelf. When I read them, I make sure to not break the spine. 😊

[Jupiter]

finished The Other Wife

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I was in the middle of a book that hasn't been published yet and really liking it. Then I lost it. I found it this morning, in the sheets I'd just washed:

There is nothing quite like a shelf full of books... I do find it frustrating when people bend books out of shape.. I'm guilty sometimes I must admit, but not for books I want to keep.. I hope anyway.. :)

I finished 4th of July by James Patterson. (4 stars) My review is below

Interesting. Our company left a book in a set of the sheets they used, too.. lol.. It wasn't in too good shape

Normally I'm really good at shaking things out before they get tossed into the washer, but I must have got sidetracked or something. I was horrified, but then all that was left was to laugh at myself. And vacuum the washing machine.

Just finished Sleep, by CL Taylor

[Gretchen]

Started Matthew Scudder #4 A Stab in the Dark. These are fast reads and I appreciate the break from the big books.

[Xavier]

Her Last Whisper, second book in the Detective Katie Scott series by Jennifer Chase. A very good thriller, and an improvement upon the first book.

I've put a bunch of things through the laundry inadvertently, but never a book -- at least not yet. (Knock on wood) Hopefully you can get another copy.

I emailed right away after trying to buy a copy and discovering it's not published until April, sending that same photo. The publisher was so kind and offered to send another -- I had asked for an e-format because I'm sure that I wouldn't be putting my kindle in the wash.

[Zoe]

That’s amazing of them.. I don’t think I have ever done that before lol it’s mainly phones or some other small technological device that end up in the wash. I am sorry though you have to wait for the replacement to finish the book.
Currently reading two books one for my book club and the other just a book I got from my library which I was reading before.
Black wood by sji Holliday and the day we meet again by Miranda Dickinson

[Linda]

You know years ago I was reading one of the Harry Potter books and about half way through there was about 30 pages missing. Well I got hold of the publisher and they sent me a new book.

[Zoe]

^ wow that’s great. I cannot finish my book club book as I found it badly written and just a mite boring. Still reading the other one though... thank god that’s better

My washing pet peeve is the overlooked tissue left in the pocket of something in the dark wash. No matter how many times I check pockets and sleeves, the odd one still sneaks through.

As for missing pages, I was reading an old yellowed paperback of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, and it wasn't until I was near the end and the plot wasn't wrapping up that I realised the last pages were missing! Luckily, it's such an old book that I managed to find a website that was discussing the ending so I could read it - whew! Now I'm inclined to look for the last page and squint (don't want to see spoilers!) to make sure it says The End or similar. :)

[PattyMacDotComma]

I do enjoy Aussie Emma Viskic's deaf detective, Caleb Zelic, his deaf community, his Aboriginal extended family, and the harrowing escapades he gets caught up in in spite of his best intentions.
Darkness for Light is the third in the series.
4.5★ Link to my review

[PattyMacDotComma]

Aussie author Terence J. Quinn's The Scoop is a rip-roaring modern pirate story that may make you rethink what fun it would be to sail around the world. Many readers have loved it, so I feel like a traitor!

Today I started reliquary, the 2nd Pendergast novel. Last year I read relic and loved it.

[Susan]

How do you post the book cover pictures?

[Aditya]

@Susan There is an add book option in the desktop version of the site. Click on it, type book name, of the available options select the one you want and then finally select whether you want just the book name or cover. Default is book name but you can select cover. The relevant option is at the bottom of the window/ box that opens.

‘Diamonds are Forever’.
‘A very readable crime thriller about ‘hot ice’ that you can take out again, dust off, and let ‘sparkle round your little finger..’
