I’m reading Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman and I love her way with words and how she expresses language. She writes beautifully. I’m also reading Shuggie Bain which is gritty and sad but has very compelling characters. Set in Scotland, which is one of my favorite places in the world. I’m listening to Hell of a Book by Jason Mott and really enjoying that as well. The narrators are excellent and the story timely and important.

In Family Business, S.J. Rozan takes the reader back to a New York City that's untouched by Covid-19. News of the day is the death of Big Brother Choi - the leader of an organized crime unit - and its impact on a huge real estate deal. P.I. Lydia Chin gets hired to serve as bodyguard and community advisor to Choi's heir.

Women's words - finally found? Imaginative Aussie author Pip Williams's young character, Esme, wants to put together The Dictionary of Lost Words. Why were all the ignored words for, by, and about women considered dirty? (Many still are.)

I just listening to Hell of a Book by Jason Mott and highly recommend it. Currently reading Midnight Lock by Jeffrey Deaver.

I have no idea how to post little book cover pictures!

[Jess]

I'm currently alternating between a few chunksters!

Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens 800+ pages
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield 400+ pages
The Overstory by Richard Powers 500+ pages

I don't know how this situation happened but it's going to be a while before I finish a book!

Listening to Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World by Max Lucado

[MaKenzi]

Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins

Half way through the book and it’s good so far! There’s been a little action/thrill but I’m waiting for the plot thickens, it feels like it’s coming up soon!

Lowering my tray table to read:
Come Fly the World: The Jet-Age Story of the Women of Pan Am by Julia Cooke

I just finished Donner Dinner Party by Nathan Hale .. I've always been interested in the Donner party, but I didn't think this would be the first book I'd read about it. It's a different format than I'm used to but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I would read more by this author.

[Ági]

I finished Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling today (rereading for the 3rd time), and just finished Billie Eilish by Billie Eilish.
Both are 5/5 to me.

Jeffery Deaver's short story, Captivated, is a prequel to his Colter Shaw series. Shaw is using some old-school tactics - actual maps and interviews - to find a missing wife.
3.5★ Link to my review of Captivated

I loved Aussie author Christian White's latest novel Wild Place. The local Neighbourhood Watch group gets a little too active during the 1989 Christmas holidays when a teen disappears.

I thought The Vanishing Half was really well written also. I loved it.

I’m reading a book called He Was a Liar by Daniel Hurst

[Melissa]

I'm reading, Ready Player One by Ernest Kline. It was highly recommended by my son, oh about 5 years ago. Just getting around to it now and I'm glad I did. Definitely, a totally different premise than any other book I've ever read and so far it's fun!

[Christine]

Finished Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I'm re-reading The One Safe Place by Tania Unsworth.

[PattyMacDotComma]

I loved Geographies of the Heart by Caitlin Hamilton Summie. She writes wonderful short stories, but this is her first novel.
4.5~5★ Link to my review of Geographies of the Heart

[PattyMacDotComma]

How disappointing. I have enjoyed many of Aussie author Di Morrissey's historical fiction novels, but this contemporary one, Before the Storm, seems embarrassingly amaeurish as well as preachy. Could do better.

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris

[PattyMacDotComma]

I knew nothing about Letters to Camondo or Edmund de Waal, but just happened upon this fascinating biography, written as letters to "you", Count Moïse de Camondo, who lived in Paris during WWII.

Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service by Carol Leonnig

[PattyMacDotComma]

I have missed Mick Herron's spies, the Slow Horses. These two novellas slot neatly into his much-loved Slough House series but can be enjoyed together without reading the rest.

The List is #2.5 and shows John Bachelor doing 'the milk run', babysitting retired, elderly spooks. Tricky!
4.5★ My review of The List

The Drop is #5.5 and follows the action from The List. Old-school tricks are recognised by old-school spooks!
4.5★ My review of The Drop


These are also available as a single book.
