The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot is a brand new favourite! It's hard to believe this is Marianne Cronin's first novel. Wonderful characters and story.

[Woman Reading]

Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui - part survey of our motivations and part memoir, and in all, a paean to swimming

The End of Gender: Debunking the Myths about Sex and Identity in Our Society by Debra Soh

March is Women's History Month. This is about current history - gender politics that have been heavily impacted by earlier feminist stances. I read this as a follow-up because two previous science books held opposing positions on whether human brains display differences based upon sex.

I just started The Mermaid Murders

It looks like police procedural/suspense.

I’m reading a book called End Game of The Most Dangerous Game Golden State Killer by Anne Penn

I'm currently reading Hamnet and The Song of Achilles.

I recently finished The Fifth Season (excellent) and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (not good - disappointing since I really enjoyed The Hunger Games trilogy).

I finally finished What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism yesterday. It lives up to the hype and I can't wait to have my kids read it when they're old enough!

Next up: Enchanted Knight, written my by manager :)

Secret Knowledge of Water: There Are Two Easy Ways to Die in the Desert: Thirst and Drowning by Craig Childs - 4 stars - My Review

[Woman Reading]

The Spy Who Came In from the Cold by John le Carré. His third novel reaped him international acclaim. Published in 1963, just 2 years after the Berlin Wall was erected, this book was electric!

Flipped
And let me tell you, it's awesome!

[PattyMacDotComma]

A good read! Bitter Wash Road is the first of a series about a rural Aussie copshop run by a 'disgraced' ex-detective. (Moral: never ever rat on crooked cops.) Add me to the list of Garry Disher's fans!
4.5★ Link to my Bitter Wash Road review

I’m reading a book called The Next Widow by C.J. Lyons

[Joy D]

The Devil that Danced on the Water: A Daughter's Quest by Aminatta Forna - 4 stars - My Review

[Woman Reading]

The Looking Glass War #4. In the Introduction, John le Carré explained his motivation for writing this installment the way that he had, which was helpful. For those who didn't benefit from that, The Looking Glass War would be really confusing. How could such an incompetent sister service such as the Department still exist to flail about like it did here? Surely all of the British agencies were as adept as their Circus?

[PattyMacDotComma]

Aussie author Susan Johnson has just released From Where I Fell. Two women from opposite sides of the world reveal more about themselves than they intended in their accidental email 'penpalship'. I loved the slightly naughty feeling of spying on them.

[Woman Reading]

If you're a fan of Rebecca, then you might be interested in The Rebecca Notebook and Other Memories by Daphne du Maurier.

I was curious about both du Maurier's creative process and underlying thoughts while writing Rebecca as well as the author herself.

Some people make arrangements for their own, inevitable Exit from life, but things don't go to plan in this mystery by Belinda Bauer. I loved its warmth and humour.
5★ Link to my Exit review (with no spoilers)

[PattyMacDotComma]

I really enjoyed Max Porter's unique young character, Lanny, in this unusual, fascinating mix of contemporary family story and ancient spirits. So good! (Made the Booker longlist)

The Story of Lucy Gault by William Trevor - 4 stars - My Review

[Christine]

[Karin]

Last night I started Sula and Roseanna for group reads (but at least one will work for one of the yearly challenges here and both work for other things as well).
Since they are both fairly dark, I also started a light, fun book called Sprouted.

I started the series for that third book for a huge, intense team reading game last year because it fit mafia but was funny and light, and since they get better as they go (three stars is a like and can mean I really enjoy certain kinds of books but the last one got 4 stars.) It will also count for one of the Yearly challenges here, and if it works for my team, will fit for series with more than 12 books.
