I just finished Caraval by Stephanie Garber and I loved it! I couldn't put it down so I finished it in about three days. Certainly I'll buy the other two books in the series, but in the meantime I'll read La variante di Lüneburg by Paolo Maurensig

Gone With The Ghost by Erin McCarthy. This is a cozy mystery with a paranormal element. The ghost of Bailey's best friend appeared in order to implore Bailey to investigate his "suicide."

I just read In an Instant, How to Walk Away, Waiting to Begin, & The Guest List. I'm having a good reading streak! All of them were great reads.

My reviews:
In an Instant review
How to Walk Away review
Waiting to Begin review
The Guest List review

I am currently reading The Maidens & Malibu Rising. I just started The Maidens and paused for the first time at 24%. It is going to be a quick and engaging read.

My Year Of Living Vulnerably sounds like a memoir by talented, tormented Aussie journalist, author, and broadcaster Rick Morton, but it dives into culture, politics, philosophy, and science, especially PTSD and the brain. Fascinating stuff and a great read!

The Dying of the Light

[C.E.]

Bought a box set of all the Sherlock Holmes books. Got through A study in Scarlet, the sign of four, hound of Baskervilles, and now on The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Not this particular copy, but the short story bit anyhow.) Enjoying the short stories more than the first two (scarlet/sign of four) -- they fell a bit flat to be compared to the other books, but The Hound of Baskervilles is my favorite (so far). Still reading, though.

These three fictions fit the bill for easy summer reading and would appeal to animal lovers. They're in the same series, but each can be read as a standalone, by Jill Shalvis -

C.E. - The Hound of the Baskervilles was my favorite of the ones I've read as well. I enjoyed The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes more than A Study in Scarlet, but I've not read The Sign of Four yet.

I loved Aussie author Tabitha Bird's imaginative debut novel, and I've just enjoyed her latest, The Emporium of Imagination. I'm pleased she weaves her magic in her hometown of Boonah, Qld, but I want this Emporium to open near me, please!

The Other Black Girl

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I just finished The Maidens, which I really enjoyed (my review) and I'm currently reading Malibu Rising. I've read two books by this author and thought they were both great, so I have high expectations for this one.

I've also started The Thursday Murder Club. I've been wanting to read it for a while now. So far, there's just been a lot of characters introduced. However, based on their introductions, I think it's going to be a fun read.

I loved An Imaginary Life by acclaimed Aussie author David Malouf. What a strange and fascinating life he's dreamed up for the exiled Roman poet Ovid, banished forever to a remote village with primitive customs (and no common language).

Getting Tyson is exactly what the good guys are trying so hard to do with such little luck in this UK thriller by P.K. Davies. Big Dave Tyson has zero redeeming features!

A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by Xiaolu Guo

This was an East-meets-West and a coming-of-age tale about a young Chinese woman's experience studying English in the UK. Displacement, loneliness, and trying to fit in are elements common to migrant experiences on both sides of the Pond.

Miracle in the Andes by Nando Parrado

This story of survival under extreme conditions was a nonfiction thriller. It also seemed more harrowing because the author, one of the survivors, provided his thoughts and feelings about the situation.

I just finished Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and La variante di Lüneburg by Paolo Maurensig. The first one was a nice, funny read and I enjoyed it a lot. The second one was the first "complete" book I read in English so it was a bit of a struggle but I did it! The last one was good but I didn't like it as much as Canone inverso by the same author

I am currently reading a couple of books. I have Malibu Rising on my Kindle and the audio of News of the World for my real life book club.

I'm also listening to The Inventor's Secret with my grandson.

I think we are going to start either The Witch's Boy or My Life as a Potato for reading before bed while he's visiting too. The Witch's Boy was recommended to me by a friend, but he tends to like funny books, so I'm not sure which we'll go with.
