I read. God Save Benedict Arnold: The True Story of America's Most Hated Man
It is an excellent biography of a man reviled as a traitor. It brings to light his now overlooked contributions to the American Revolution.

From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time by Sean Carroll

In this book, physicist Sean Carroll addresses many current topics in physics, especially the nature of 'time' which seems to be very elusive.

Finally finished The Missing Partners by Henry Lancelot Aubrey-Fletcher a/k/a Henry Wade from 1928. It kind of dragged for me in the beginning but it picked up.

Refractions by M.V. Melcer

In this space opera, a human colony on a distant planet stops communicating with Earth, and a rescue ship is dispatched to see what happened. Meanwhile, a secret agenda profoundly affects the mission.

Compelling story but a bit derivative. 3 stars

Now starting PLAY WITH FIRE by William Shaw, the fourth and final novel in his mystery series featuring homicide detective Cathal Breen and former WPC Helen Tozer, set in London back in 1969.

I'm reading Andromeda: The Sojourn, second book of a sci-Fi trilogy.

[Randy]

Finished Tales of Terror and the Supernatural by Wilkie Collins. In spite of the presence of a tale like "A Terribly Strange Bed," I think the title "Tales of Mystery and the Supernatural" might have been closer, as many stories revolve around a crime.

Collins, like Arthur Conan Doyle later, wrote in a direct and fluent prose that propels his plot and makes the stories still easy reading. On the whole, these stories are enjoyable and anyone who like Collins or more generally Victorian pleasure reading, would probably enjoy this.

[Thomas]

I read Dead Coin by Sheldon Siegel It is book 15 in an enjoyable legal series, available on kindle unlimited. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Kelsie]

I just finished Vegetarian and I wanted it to be more than it was. I don't think there's anything wrong with the story itself, but I think the translation was bad. I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would.

Fake Money, Blue Smoke by Josh Haven

Ex-con, ex-soldier hooks up with ex-girlfriend , now counterfeiter, to run huge scam on everybody in sight. Lots of mayhem and killing but told in a light manner. Fun book, tears along at 100 miles-per-hour. I liked it, 4 stars.

The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave shows the cruel reality of life in Finland's harsh and frozen far north in the 1600s. Witch-hunting was rife. Based on true events.
