The End of Men

my review

[Clbrend]

just finished el secreto de los dedos de AIGNES de Pablo carnicero de la cámara and started to read las mujeres que aman demasiado de Robin Norwood

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

I finished reading the second book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, and found it even less funny than the first one:


The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams
Rating: 2 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

and I started reading this anthology that is a tribute to Jack Vance and his Tales of the Dying Earth series:


Songs of the Dying Earth: Stories in Honour of Jack Vance edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

Also, I finished a book I thought was going to be a horror novel only to find out that it was more of a crime novel with mild Southern Gothic elements that seems to have found some influence from Heart of Darkness:


Gone South by Robert R. McCammon
Rating: 3 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

and I started reading a novella that I've had my eye on for a while, one that I'm fairly certain is firmly in the "horror" genre:


The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker

[Woman Reading]

The Stranger was my introduction to its author - Albert Camus. It wasn't what I had expected at all from its synopsis but its zeitgeist was a curiously intriguing aspect.

I have finished The Cat Who Went into the Closet and am more than halfway through Watchmen. Have recently started Tango Uniform and Burned. I have Here Be Dragons on my Currently Reading list but have not started it yet.

[PattyMacDotComma]

Facts and Other Lies: Welcome to the Disinformation Age, by Aussie author Ed Coper, is just as unnerving as you probably gather it is from the title. The current division in many democracies has been caused by bad actors with thousands of automatic bots that set us off down fake rabbit holes. Started with the printing press, escalated to social media.

You may be sent one way, while I'm sent another. CLASH! If democracies crumble, guess what happens next?!

5★ My review of Facts and Other Lies

It's long, but I've included a lot of examples from this terrific book.

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called Losing Leah Holloway by Lisa Regan

I have finished Watchmen and have made some progress in Here Be Dragons, Tango Uniform, and Burned.

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough

[Woman Reading]

The Art of War: A Graphic Novel by Pete Katz and Sun Tzu. This graphic novel with bold, colorful images is a great way to learn the ancient military treatise.

I finished


Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
Rating: 3 stars

and I started reading


The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

[PattyMacDotComma]

It was such a delight to meet the fantastic Amanda Gorman in the bright children's book by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. So young (only 24 on the 7th!), so talented, so inspiring. America's first Youth Poet Laureate.
4.5~5★ My review of Amanda Gorman with some illustrations and a photo

[PattyMacDotComma]

The Murder Rule by Dervla McTiernan is a departure from her Irish detective series. This finds a US group trying to rescue wrongly convicted people from Death Row. But were they wrongly convicted?
4★ My review of The Murder Rule

I finished the 2nd book in the Lew Archer series, a must read for detective fiction fans:


The Drowning Pool by Ross Macdonald
Rating: 4 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

and I started reading the classic roman noir:


I Married a Dead Man by Cornell Woolrich writing as William Irish

[PattyMacDotComma]

Hurray! Aussie author Adrian Hyland finally gave us a new book! Constable Jesse Redpath is another smart, tough female character from the Northern Territory. She's stepping on the toes of the local Victorian cops, investigating a death at Canticle Creek. Excellent!
4.5~5★ My review of Canticle Creek

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter

[PattyMacDotComma]

Everyday Magic is hardly everyday, but there's plenty of magic. Jess Kidd has written a delightful book for youngsters, which is fun for grown-ups, too. Orphan, witches, potions, it's all here!
4★ My review of Everyday Magic

[PattyMacDotComma]

Aussie author Candice Fox has really established herself as a thriller writer, with the new TV series Troppo, set in the North Queensland tropics, based on her first book, Crimson Lake. Her latest, The Chase, finds 600+ prisoners turned loose in the Nevada desert, including those on Death Row. Why? You may well ask. I can see another film prospect here!
4★ My review of The Chase

[PattyMacDotComma]

Canadian author Alice Munro is one of the world's best-loved storytellers. In 2013, she was awarded the Nobel Prize for her work as "master of the contemporary short story". I've enjoyed several, and I just read her 1968 debut, Dance of the Happy Shades. So good.
4.5★ My review of Dance of the Happy Shades with a link to some stories you can read online

[Woman Reading]

Vegan Under Pressure by Jill Nussinow will likely please dedicated vegans more than it did me, an omnivore.

I just finished the first of Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series, My Sister's Grave. Twenty years after her sister disappeared, detective Tracy Crosswhite is told they've found her bones. Mixed feelings about this one.
3.5★ My review of My Sister's Grave

[PattyMacDotComma]

I finally started the Brother Cadfael historical mystery series by Ellis Peters ( aka Edith Pargeter ), and I grew quite fond of this canny, medieval monk in Book 1, A Morbid Taste for Bones. I will be reading more!

[PattyMacDotComma]

Happy 88th birthday on March 25 to Gloria Steinem, whose story of becoming a feminist activist and icon is told by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. These "Little People BIG DREAMS" picture books are for children, but I am meeting so many interesting people myself!
4★ My review of Gloria Steinem

[PattyMacDotComma]

I really enjoyed The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, about a super-professional butler who knows how to inspect the silver polishing but, sadly, knows nothing at all about people. Very touching. 1989 Booker Prize Winner.
5★ My review of The Remains of the Day

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called Search for Her by Rick Mofina

[Dorothy]

I have finished Night Fall. I have also started reading Tango Uniform, Here Be Dragons, and Burned. Struggling a bit getting into them and hoping that they will catch my interest before much longer. I have also added Stormbird to my currently reading list, though have not started it.
