Now reading the Polish edition of Maker's Curse
and still can't end Imperium. Podróż po Cesarstwie Rzymskim śladem jednej monety English: The Reach of Rome: A Journey Through the Lands of the Ancient Empire, Following a Coin
Finished and loved The Green Mile
by Stephen KingMy review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/3373643302
I enjoyed a delightful short story, by Amor Towles who wrote the highly acclaimed A Gentleman in Moscow. This story, A Whimsy of the World, is a real treat. Trust me. Read it and enjoy!
5★ My 'Whimsy' review, with a link to the story
On a completely different note, I recently read Taboo by much-awarded Australian Indigenous author Kim Scott, about contemporary SW Western Australia. (the bottom left corner of the country) Pretty strong stuff.
4★ My review of 'Taboo'
I think I will be reading either Watership Down or re-reading As Sure as the Dawn. It’s a little difficult for me at this time to pick.
Currently I'm reading Horrorstör .. read mixed reviews on it but thought I would give it a go! I have to admit I was kinda drawn in by the cover ..
Finished As You Like It by William Shakespeare and The One by Kiera Cass Review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Now I'm reading The Heir and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
I am 70% with Taylor Jenkins Reid The Seven Husband of Evelyn Hugo. At this moment the book makes me sad. :(
Of course I knew I'd enjoy a trip to Botswana with Alexander McCall Smith's Mma Ramotswe and her No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Morality for Beautiful Girls is the third enjoyable book, and there are more!
4★ My "Morality" review
Finished and enjoyed The Bell in the Lake
by Lars MyttingMy review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/3172763224
I'm now reading Tempting Fate. I like the sophisticated language the author uses - matches the aristocratic atmosphere she creates in the book.
Greta Thunberg is a young girl who has inspired people all over the world. Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara has told her story here for children, all of whom should know about her. . . and so should their parents!
Link to my review of 'Greta Thunberg' with illustrations
Slonský's First Murder by Graham Brack is a free short story that's a prequel to his popular series about my favourite clever and amusing Czech detective.
Link to my 'Slonsky' review which includes a link to the story online
Re-read a short book by Linda Weaver Clarke
, Writing Your Family Legacy
this morning. I also have read
by her.
I’ve started The Storied Life of AJ Fikry. This is a good one & I’m sure many others have already read it. I like the bookstore setting and like how unexpected the protagonist is with his reaction to the happenings. I had to give up on a romance that had been recommended by someone on Good Reads. The Hunter was not for me.

I'm planning to finish Little Secrets today. I think this one is good. It's not the exact story I was expecting. It's much more about the affair and the MC's response to it than it is about the kidnapping, but I enjoyed it anyway.
I'm also reading What You Wish For and really enjoying it, though the MC's thoughts are a little repetitive. I'm hoping that stops as we get further into the story.
I also just started All the Broken People. It's ok. I'm not really in the mood for another book where the MC makes terrible decisions right now, so I put it aside for What You Wish For, which at least has a little humor and romance mixed in with her bad decisions instead of her life being at risk.
Finished The Heir by Kiera Cass Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Now I'm reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

It has a lot more wit than the show and is easier to understand when they go back and forth in time. I am looking forward to read the next in the series, but it has a long wait at the library.
Y is for Yesterday This series has been a comfort read. I am sad this is the last new adventure. I may do some reading. I feel like i a saying goodbye to an old friend
I finished a cozy mystery: Death on Windmill Way
by Carrie DoyleMy three star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I am now reading Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera. I just watched the Royal Albert Hall version of the musical with my mom’s mom. (It was the first time she’s seen it.) So, after watching it, I decided to read the novel. I also am doing some editing on my own Phantom sequel that I’ve completed; it’s called The Phantom’s Angel.The Phantom story (both musical and book) has impacted me in more than one way, some of them big. Would anyone care to share how the novel or musical touched them, if it’s happened to them?
Finished and enjoyed; The Yellow House www.goodreads.com/review/show/3379194834
