The Leaving of Things by Jay Antani - 3 stars - My Review

[PattyMacDotComma]

John Lennon by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara is a beaut little kids' book about his life and the Beatles. This is a lovely little tribute to the musical genius we lost to a gunman 40 years ago this month. 40 years!

Tweet-length "fiction". I love, love, love wise sayings, witticisms, simple fun. I am too wordy - these guys are not. A Small Fiction by brothers James Mark Miller and Jefferson Miller is a sheer delight. Funny, clever, excellent!

Finished my last book for 2020:
The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Daré - 4 stars - My Review

[Woman Reading]

It took me a little persistence at the beginning but it was well worth the effort. Laura Restrepo's Delirium deserved winning the Alfaguara prize for a tale of madness set in 1983 Colombia.

The last nonfiction I finished was The Disordered Mind: What Unusual Brains Tell Us About Ourselves by Eric R. Kandel, who had won the Nobel prize for his research into memory. The author included a very brief chapter on sex differentiating the brain and gender identity.

Finding Peace, Happiness, and Joy by Richard G. Scott

[Christine]

[Jul]

I just started this book
It's kind of exciting to have a daily ritual and a book that will stay with me until the end of the year :D

[PattyMacDotComma]

My first review for the year is for the worthy Pulitzer Prize winner Beloved by Toni Morrison. It's hard to understand the kind of treatment 'former' slaves still endured after the end of the Civil War.

Technically, it's an easy read; emotionally, it's a heartbreaker.
5★ Link to my review of Beloved

[PattyMacDotComma]

My first book of 2021 was more lighthearted. We know from the title to look forward to The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home, but it's an after dark innovation suggested by author Joanna Nell that interests me. I do love a good idea.
3.5★ rounded up Link to my Great Escape From Woodlands review

[Emma (emmasbookshelfx)]

Currently reading the Thursday murder club by Richard Osman as part of a read along. So far I’m a bit deflated as I had high hopes for this book.

I really enjoyed it although a cozy set in a retirement home is a little off-genre for me.

[PattyMacDotComma]

A Clash of Spheres by P.F. Chisholm is the eighth in this favourite historical mystery series where the dashing Sir Robert Carey is always close to being assassinated! Scotland, 1592.

The Ballroom by Anna Hope - 4 stars - My Review

This novel is well-crafted and well-researched historical fiction. I found it a powerful story about the role of hope and personal connection in conditions of powerlessness.

[eda ✨]

I am currently reading Furyborn by Claire Legrand. It's very good so far.

[Sarah]

I'm reading The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan. It's pretty good so far, but it is very long.

I have two other books I am working on - The Making of the Middle Ages by Robert Southern and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling (for a buddy read, and it is totally an old favorite!)

[Heather]

I'm currently reading Invisible Man and The Map of Salt and Stars.

This week I finished rereading Crime and Punishment and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (first time reading). I liked Crime and Punishment more as an adult than I did in high school - although I think I was unfairly prejudiced against it because I resented having to read it during the summer before my senior year (and take a test the first day of school).

[PattyMacDotComma]

I always enjoy Mick Herron's suspenseful stories about spooks in London. Nobody Walks reminds me what a truly lonely life it must be.
