Blacktop Wasteland is where author S.A. Cosby's Beauregard 'Bug' Montage earned his reputation as a high-speed wheelman and risks everything for one last job. Promise. Yeah, right.

I'm having trouble with the three books I started (The Cat Who Played Post Office, A Morbid Taste for Bones, and A Plague of Giants). Just not in the mood and need something different I think. I just started a historical novel, Mr. Churchill's Secretary by Susan Elia MacNeal, and so far it's fantastic.

[Melissa]

just finished Dear Edward. oh.my.gosh. such a heartwarming read!!

[Mary]

Okay, Mr. Churchill's Secretary was really good and I finished it already. Back to A Plague of Giants.

I've hardly read at all the past few weeks. Real life has been pretty busy.

I am now reading The Newcomer , which is fun. It is the first book I've read by Mary Kay Andrews and it's more of a beach read. I'm enjoying it.

I know just how you feel, Mary. Sometimes I have to have a few books on the go just to suit my mood, especially if there is a lot of violence that I don't want to go to sleep on!

William Faulkner was a giant of American Literature (with a capital L!), and I just enjoyed his short story A Rose for Emily. It's about an elderly widow who gets more and more reclusive and peculiar.
4★ Link to my Rose for Emily review with a link to the story.

[PattyMacDotComma]

Another cute Story Without Words, Polar Bear Bowler: A Story Without Words by Karl Beckstrand. I can imagine little kids making up dialogue and "telling the stories" themselves.
4★ LInk to my review of Polar Bear Bowler with enough of the pictures to get the idea of the story.

I'm currently reading The Trials of Apollo The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan and I'm almost finished with it.

A Summoner had a pretty free rein in 14th century England. He could decide you were guilty of something and summon you to court - unless of course you bribed him. And he never paid for anything. Who would dare charge him? In The Summoner's Sins, author Keith Moray continues his series, which is pretty gruesome.

[fra]

I just finished 1984 by George Orwell and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. I really liked the last one, while I found the first one a bit slow, but still pretty enjoyable.
Next I'm going to read Circe by Madeline Miller.

[Mary]

I finished A Plague of Giants, and even though the ending was decent, I can't give it more than two stars. The constantly changing perspective and jumping from event to event was chaotic and hard to understand.

Next up I'm working on The Silver Pigs by Lindsey Davis, a mystery set in the early Roman Empire that seems interesting so far.

[Woman Reading]

Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, narrated by the author Anthony Bourdain - seeing the brash, profane, yet witty Bourdain during his early years.

I finished The Silver Pigs and really got sucked in part way through. The ending kept me guessing. I just got my copy of The Guncle by Steven Rowley and I'm really excited to start it!

Same here, fra!
After many years, I loved my second reading of a favourite, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which won author Mark Haddon many awards. Young Christopher is a persistent, special, very trying kid. Love him!

I just enjoyed NZ/Aussie author Jacqueline Bublitz's new mystery, narrated by a murdered girl, that should stir up some good book club conversations, Before You Knew My Name.

I was unaware of this book. It looks great and I just checked my library and they have it! :) Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I finally got around to starting Serpent and Dove. Still on the fence about Lou. She can be so stinkin' mean to Reid sometimes! Here's hoping she softens up or Reid actually defends himself in a way that shocks her into silence or something...

[The Book Squirrel]

Just finished the ARC of My brother Ben by Peter Carnavas ( published in September). A lovely little Australian domestic fiction about brothers, birds, and a competition to win a boat. Ages 7/8+.

I finished Eat a Peach by David Chang. I didn't need to be in the food industry to find this Korean American restauranteur's memoir to be interesting. Part of my motivation for reading this was also for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
