Shalimar the Clown by Salman Rushdie - 4 stars - My Review

[Kaitlynn]

I finished The Nightingale yesterday and started The Great Alone this morning, both by Kristin Hannah. I've never been into historical fictions. Frankly, I've never read one before The Nightingale because I was so sure I wouldn't like them and hate wasting my time. I'm so excited to venture into this new genre, now I have even more books to read!

Poor Economics: A Radical Rethinking of the Way to Fight Global Poverty by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo.

As the pandemic has added an estimated 150 million people to the ranks of the extreme poor, this book remains relevant.

BOX 88 by Charles Cumming, a former secret service recruit himself, describes the mixed-up world of international intrigue.

We may know who the enemy is, but with so many 'agencies' of spies today, nobody is quite sure who the bad guys are. Great read!
4.5★ Link to my review of Box 88

Keep the dream alive! This little book is a great introduction to Martin Luther King Jr.. It's part of an excellent series to inspire little kids (and their parents!).

Author Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara has produced an amazing library of these.

How to Walk Away by Katherine Center - 3 stars - My Review

[PattyMacDotComma]

I loved Michael Ondaatje's much lauded Warlight, which begins in London, 1945. Bomb flashes were what lit the way for those sneaking around during curfews - criminals, spies, and kids.

Terrific read!

Strange Bliss: Essential Stories is a collection of six of Katherine Mansfield's excellent, quirky short stories. People are just as selfish and awkward and silly today as they were when she was writing.

Apples Never Fall is the latest from Aussie author Liane Moriarty. It's a family tree of tennis players, the kind of varied group of characters she's so well-known for. I wish I'd liked it better.
