Finished The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I just finished We Begin at the End . If you haven't read this one and you like realistic, gritty characters, this is definitely worth a read.

I'm about to start The Rose Code . I loved what I've read by Kate Quinn so far.

[Kris]

Just finished and reviewed Hate You (Not) by Ella James

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I've decided to start The House in the Cerulean Sea instead of The Rose Code because I will need to return Cerulean Sea to the library soon and want to read it for our group read. I will read Rose Code next.

I hope you love it as much as I did, Kristie. The beginning seems a bit bleak, but carry on!

Fluffles: The Brave Koala Who Held Strong Through A Bushfire is a very cute Vita Murrow picture book about the unbelievable 2019 Australian bushfires. Fluffles was rescued in South Australia.

I always love Kate Atkinson's complex stories that ex-detective Jackson Brodie has to untangle while generally making more of a tangle of his own life. Big Sky is the 5th in the series and is terrific!

[Woman Reading]

A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II by Sonia Purnell. This nonfiction reads like a thriller as it relates espionage and covert action in France during WWII.

A little over half way on Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King.

[PattyMacDotComma]

They broke the mould when the Artist Known as Prince came along. This is another of the Little People BIG DREAMS series. Author Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrator Cachetejack have produced a bright, appealing children's book
4.5★ rounded up Link to my Prince review with several illustrations

[PattyMacDotComma]

I do love a good short story, so I'm glad that Amazon is publishing originals from many different authors. In the Empty Quarter by G. Willow Wilson is a scary little cautionary tale I enjoyed.

Hello All,
I am currently reading The Midnight Library I am almost through it in a day. It is so well constructed and on it's way to 5 stars from me. It is not my usual read too which has made me want to branch out of my usual genres more!

[bookcov..." Hi Shannon, what did you think about Never Have I Ever? A friend gave me this book and was curious because it has some mixed reviews. Thanks in advance!

John Adams on audio, though. I tried twice to read it in print, but had to lay it down and just listen. I'm about 1/5 into it now.

I really enjoyed it, Patty. It was a quick read and the characters really grew on me.

I'm now reading A Caller's Game, which I hope to finish in a couple of days, The Rose Code, and Hillbilly Elegy for my real life book club.

Return to the Most Beautiful Village in the World is a bittersweet follow-up to Japanese artist Yutaka Kobayashi's previous two picture books about a little boy who left his war-torn village in Afghanistan.

Kobayashi says we must inspire the children!

I finally read the first book of the much-loved Monkeewrench mystery series by mother-daughter duo P.J. Tracy. People and plot were every bit as good as I was told. I'm delighted there are more!

[PattyMacDotComma]

Heartstone is the fourth in the excellent Matthew Shardlake historical mystery series set in King Henry VIII's very bloody England. Author C.J. Sansom seems to know his stuff (excuse the academic terminology) about the wars of the time.

Six Word Story: Stories, Memoirs, Poems and Jokes all written in only six words. is the second book of clever, quirky "stories" by Doug Weller. There's a competition you can enter, too. Fun to try making them up.

Hello Friend We Missed You won The Guardian's 2020 Not the Booker Prize competition. I liked the real Booker winner better this year - Shuggie Bain - but Richard Owain Roberts IS a good writer, and it's nice to see Wales represented.

From the libby App I read these

Very good book The end was a shocker

This one was a let down I didn't like. I though it sound good but as I reading it I Just couldnt really get into it I almost put it down a bunch of times

The Gulf: The Making of An American Sea by Jack Emerson Davis

This took a little effort to get into. But by the end, I could see why it had been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for history in 2018. Davis is an environmental historian and focuses on the 5 Gulf states, but especially on Florida and Texas.
