my review

[Paldron]

Currently journeying through space and time with Maria Popova's Figuring. (:

[Heather]

I am currently reading Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Under the Udala Trees.

I recently finished We Ride Upon Sticks and A Hundred Thousand Worlds - both were enjoyable reads. I attempted to read Outlander but gave up halfway through...would really like those hours of my life back. No idea why that series is so popular.

[David]

I've read the first chapter of Ocean at the End of the Lane.

I have a migraine so I think that's it for today.

This weekend I finished Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead. I found this book strange and intriguing - overall I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I'm currently reading Long Bright River and Under the Udala Trees.

[Woman Reading]

They Called Us Enemy by George Takei - presented in graphical format, this is a quick read into an unpalatable but necessary-to-know part of American history.

my review - www.Goodreads.com/review/show/3365362217

[Marleen]

I’m currently reading Recursion and The Obelisk Gate. Two very different books, and I’m enjoying them both a lot so far.

[PattyMacDotComma]

February is Black History Month, and I found James Baldwin's long story/novella Letter from a region in my mind online from 'The New Yorker Magazine'. Still relevant and worth remembering.

[PattyMacDotComma]

February is Black History Month.
Alexander McCall Smith is a white author who created the wonderful Mma Ramotswe in Botswana and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. She features in The Cleverness of Ladies, a lovely little novella.

I’m reading a book called After I'm Gone by Laura Lippman

[Joy D]

The Secret Chord by Geraldine Brooks - 3 stars - My Review

[PattyMacDotComma]

Gopher Golf: A Wordless Picture Book by Karl Beckstrand is exactly that - many pages of pictures. There are enough varied scenes for a little kid to follow as a story and then be encouraged to "tell" a story themselves. Lots of laughs!
3.5★ Link to my Gopher Golf review with several illustrations to give you the idea

[PattyMacDotComma]

Mick Herron, when interviewed about his latest spy thriller, Slough House, recently said "I look at Jackson Lamb and think: My God, did I write that? My mother reads this stuff!" Well, on behalf of mothers and grandmothers everywhere, I say - Keep up the good work!

Claire of the Sea Light by Edwidge Danticat - 3 stars -

Agent Running in the Field by John le Carré

My first but not last le Carre novel as I loved his humor and wit and the multiple occasions of double meanings kept me on my toes.

Different Seasons
Different Seasons by Stephen King. I saved the short story The Body for last!

[Joy D]

War and Turpentine by Stefan Hertmans - 4.5 stars - My Review

[Woman Reading]

Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Gary Paulsen.

If you love dogs, then you should consider reading Winterdance. If you also enjoy adventure tales or are curious about Alaska, then I'd recommend that you add this to your TBR.

A Suspicion of Silver is the latest (#9) in the terrific Sir Robert Carey historical mystery series set in Elizabethan England. P.F. Chisholm simply cannot leave us with that cliffhanger ending!
4.5★ Link to my review of A Suspicion of Silver

[PattyMacDotComma]

Alexander McCall Smith offers a monthly short story on his website. I got a kick out of February's Doctors, Detectives, Common Sense, about the "traditionally-built" Mma Ramotswe, the founder of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Botswana, and her annual medical check-up.

The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr. - 3 stars - My Review

[PattyMacDotComma]

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!
