On a different note, The Night Whistler by Greg Woodland is an Aussie rural crime story that features a young boy who refuses to give up and a disgracefully demoted detective who believes him.

I DNF Range Of Motion. It was not my kind of story. It is one where you are in the person's head and you hear all their random thoughts and observations as they go through their day. I know they are popular with some people, but I find them boring and I can't engage with them. I made it to 13% and just decided I didn't have any interest in reading it.

I am starting Paris Never Leaves You and The Upside of Stress.

I am also finishing up I Hunt Killers. I think it's good, but not a favorite for me. It's definitely YA. I think the mystery part is good and I like the MCs, but I'm tired of the main narrator's repetitive thoughts about his own nature.

Woah, Christine! That's a lot of posts. Are you currently reading all of those? Or just finished them?

I own Playing Nice and hope to read it soon. I also really want to read Every Last Fear. Have you read them already? What did you think? Or are they just the next books you are reading?

I just started reading The Upside of Stress: Why Stress Is Good for You, and How to Get Good at It. I've only read the introduction, but the gist is that people who believe stress is bad for them die younger than people that don't believe stress is bad for them. In the initial study that she talked about, people with a lot of stress that don't believe it is harmful even outlived the people that claimed to have less stress in their lives. The author believes that the way you think about stress is more important than how much stress you have in your life.

I first heard of this in a TED talk, which I found interesting, and it's what made me seek out the book. If anyone's interested, this is her TED talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgon...

Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing.

This may be a century-old tale but it was mesmerizing and harrowing and, because of the location, timeless.

I am reading The Colour Purple as one of the group reads and on my Kindle Stasi Child. As I grew up in eastern Germany I am interested in that era.

My goodness - those two should keep your brain ticking over, Carolin!

Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz is similar to, but not a sequel to Magpie Murders, which I loved. This one is also clever and complex.

Olav Audunssøn: I. Vows takes place in Norway in the 1200s. This translated edition was released just this month. Author Sigrid Undset won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928. This has all the feuds, arranged marriages, hard times, difficult romancing you'd expect from such a cold place so very long ago, but I think some of her other writing must have been what earned her the Nobel.

I really liked The Outsider, Renee. I hope you enjoy it. Just a heads up - there are some rough parts to read.

A Chorus of Innocents (Sir Robert Carey #7) by P.F. Chisholm was another entertaining instalment in this historical fiction mystery series set in 1592 on the English/Scottish borderlands. Ah, the intrigue! Such a great way to soak up a bit of history. But mind the bloodshed!
