Lucky's by Aussie author Andrew Pippos may have struck me on a bad day. Perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention - I got confused.

I finished Kelley Armstrong's
Otherworld Nights #3 - another entertaining collection. My review - www.Goodreads.com/review/show/3702323080
Reading Furia https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... it's very good!! Was a Reese young adult nomination previously. :)
I’m reading My Name Is Anton, released this month. So far so great!

Ana wrote: "Currently reading The Stand. It's terrific. I can empathize with the characters really well considering the situation in the real world."That's the one early Stephen King novel I haven't read, believe it or not. It's never available in the library lol
I finished "We Now Return to Regular Life." It's an intense story about a kidnapped boy who returns home three years later, as a teenager.

Jane Harper's Tasmanian coast in The Survivors is just as compelling as her outback in The Dry and The Lost Man. Evelyn Bay is such a small town that it's almost a locked room mystery. Loved it!

Probably within the next few months. :-)
Also, just finished Redhead by the Side of the Road. I believe this was one of our fall nominations this year. Amazing book- my first Anne Tyler since Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant.

That's great, Christine! Renee, I have that one from the library, but haven't gotten around to it. I have read it before anyway, but I haven't done hardly any reading in the past week plus.
I am currently reading The Unwilling and it's good. My lack of reading has nothing to do with the book. I seem to be in a mini-slump due to other factors.
I have just finished The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley and adore his 11-year-old experimental poisoner/investigator, Flavia de Luce. This is the first of what seems to be a terrific mystery series - can't wait to find the rest!

Just finished the fantastic Convenience Store Woman, Sayaka Murata- hard to classify but I would say darkly comic/society novel is accurate. My review:

A Christmas Carol by Charles DickensThis was much better than I had expected - not only because it's by Dickens (because I didn't like my HS experience with A Great Expectations) but because many adaptations had overplayed the sentimental aspects.

The Forgotten Daughter by Joanna Goodman

Just curious- why didn't you like Great Expectations?
I just finished a couple of books by the Japanese writer Sayaka Murata- I think she's brilliant. Hard to categorize, but I would classify Convenience Store Woman as dark comedy/society novel and Earthlings as...fable?
My reviews for both:

I am on tenterhooks now, waiting to see where Gregg Hurwitz takes the Nowhere Man next! Terrific, disturbingly real warfare concerns in Prodigal Son.

Rainbow Colors by words&pictures is a cute little book for very young kids to enjoy with an older friend to help them find the things that are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
