June’sReads | 6 comments I am currently re-reading Miss Peregrins Home for Peculiar Children series. I devoured the Throne of Glass series just last week lol. That was also a re-read because I had not read the last two books. I love that series. Really looking forward to reading Sarah J Maas new series Crescent City.

Wendy Kuzminski | 8 comments I'm currently reading Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. It's very different from the other books that I've read by him, but am enjoying it and have laughed out loud more than once.

Gianna | 1 comments I would love to recommend the Murder 101 series by Maggie Barbieri. I worked with her in college publishing in Northern NJ when she was an editor and and I was an editorial assistant. Super cute reads! Also, she loved my first name Gianna so much that she named a character after me, which I thought was fantastic. Wishing all my reading friends a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Kristie | 5928 comments I'm finishing up The Dutch House today. I really enjoyed this one so far. Can't wait to read the end.

I am starting Unfaithful next. I hope to finish it in just a few days because I received an early copy and it publishes on the 24th.

I am also reading a couple of nonfiction books for #NonfictionNovember. I am reading The Upside of Stress and Don't Overthink It, which is a Goodreads Choice Awards nominee this year.

Lacey | 25 comments Slowly continuing my way through the Darkest Minds. I’ve also started Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke, it appears to have a fine balance of cosiness and mystery which I’m hoping will get me out of the reading slump I feel myself falling into

Emrys (emsbookishcorner) | 11 comments I’m currently reading Not Even Bones and so far it’s really good. Originally found this story through the Webcomic adaptation, which I do love, but the book is a bit more interesting. I feel like I’m learning more details about the world than in the comic.

Sophie (feehop96) | 5 comments Currently reading Something Wicked. I really enjoyed the first two books in the Death on Demand series (Death On Demand and Design For Murder). I would highly recommend both.

PattyMacDotComma When Darwin Sailed the Sea: Uncover how Darwin's revolutionary ideas helped change the world by David Long is a great little book that should be in all school libraries. Attractive and informative, even for old folks like me. :)

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 397 comments Sapiens A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. I liked it more than I had expected, and I see why my library has such a long wait for a 6- year old title.

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 397 comments I finished Bitten (Otherworld, #1) by Kelley Armstrong Bitten #1 by Kelley Armstrong. It's not my usual UF in terms of species or main character, but it was good enough to proceed to the sequel.

Kristie | 5928 comments I finished How to Bake the Perfect Pecan Pie. I was hoping for a cute Thanksgiving read, but was disappointed.

I need to finish Unfaithful before starting something new. I am also still reading Don't Overthink It and The Upside of Stress.

PattyMacDotComma Author Catherine Ryan Hyde is a favourite of many readers for her hopeful, heartwarming books. Seven Perfect Things: A Novel is the first I've read, and it was a happy break between heavier reads.

message 1192: by Cath (new)

Cath Partway through A Gentleman in Moscow and have yet to figure out why I am enjoying it as the narrative is very slow. But the prose is absolutely beautiful.


message 1193: by Amy (new)

Amy Bernstein | 12 comments Reading the latest by Elena Ferrante, The Lying Life of Adults. I devoured the Neapolitan Quartet novels and I'm loving this one as well. But you really have to enjoy a lot of emotional anxiety, angst, and explosive anger--the hallmarks of her fiction. I find it satisfying, but it' s not for everyone.

PattyMacDotComma I read the 4th book in Charlie Garratt's Inspector James Given series, Where Every Man, and I'm sure readers of the earlier books would like this one, where he is facing the fast-approaching Nazis in France in 1938.
