Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges is pretty mind blowing.

I am reading a few books right now.
1. Tower of Dawn - can't wait to get through this series, love it, but it's taking forever
2. Nancy Wake - the book is hard to read because of writing, but awesome stories. I can't wait to read more about female spies during WWIII
3. They Never Learn - thriller that I am totally into (I just started reading thrillers this year, and love it so far)

When Darwin Sailed the Sea: Uncover how Darwin's revolutionary ideas helped change the world by David Long is a great little book that should be in all school libraries. Attractive and informative, even for old folks like me. :)

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. I liked it more than I had expected, and I see why my library has such a long wait for a 6- year old title.

The Memory of Love by Aminatta Forna - 5 stars - My Review

[PattyMacDotComma]

I read the 4th book in Charlie Garratt's Inspector James Given series, Where Every Man, and I'm sure readers of the earlier books would like this one, where he is facing the fast-approaching Nazis in France in 1938.

I also read the 4th book in Graham Brack's delightful Master Mercurius mystery series. Mercurius is a 17th century Dutch minister/priest/university lecturer who has a talent for investigation. The Noose's Shadow is another entertaining adventure!

The Lost Soul Atlas by Zana Fraillon is a fantastical book for young readers, but it's just as entertaining for grown-ups. Life or afterlife or somewhere in between? Twiggy tries to find himself and his Da.

I finally finished I, Eliza Hamilton. I'm approximately 12-ish miles from the Schuyler Mansion. So strange reading the description of The Pastures and envisioning what it looks like today!

Last night, I started Skeleton Keys: The Secret Life of Bone. I started following Riley Black on Twitter thanks to another person I follow. My son LOVES dinosaurs so I follow a few paleontologists. If I hadn't fallen asleep while reading, I'd have devoured easily 1/3 of it in one sitting! I can't wait to read more!

I am currently reading "The Dependents", by Katharine Dion. It was originally published in June of 2018. The novel centers around Gene, a recent widower, his daughter, and several other close friends and acquaintances. Entertainment Weekly said: "Dion's wise debut asks compelling questions about memory and grieving ... stunning."
