I haven't read any of her books.

[Kirsty]

I have a couple of books on the go.
The one I am reading most nights is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (PB) I have watched a couple of seasons of the show but I am finding the book (half way through the first one) quite different so far. I am thoroughly enjoying it.
On my kindle I have got the first few Plantagenet and Tudor Novels by Philippa Gregory but have only read a little bit of The Lady of the Rivers.
I have read the first few chapters of Home Front by Kristin Hannah (PB) but I need to be in the right frame of mind to read her books.
I have a couple other books I have sort of opened and started to read but have put them aside until I have finished some of the ones I already have on the go.

[Susan]

I just finished God of the Woods. which I really enjoyed. The twist was not expected.

I am now reading the Alaskan Royalty series By Mary Janice Davidson. They are too funny, I love them. They are kind of old. The language is a little harsh but if you can get by that, they are great stories!

[Rosie]

Anyone have some suggestions for a good romance with over 50/60 main character? I haven’t read a romance in a long time but been in the mood for one and don’t want something with a young main character.

A stunning ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐gritty Aussie crime thriller debut Stillwater by Tanya Scott. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Carmen]

I just finished The Things We Didn’t Know by Elba Iris Perez. If you’re Hispanic you will relate to this book. It was during the late. 50’s and 60’s when Puerto Rican immigration from the island moved to Pittsburgh to seek a better life!

Am currently reading for a book club.... Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty

[Amanda]

I am now reading Windswept (Kismet Cove) by Susan Hayes. I like the magic in it. It's a little different. Because I like it so much, I'll probably read them both again when I finish it.

[wendy]

After Oz by Gordon Mcalpine and Now or Never by Janet Evonvich

[E]

John Adam's by David McCullough

[Frances]

I belong to a writing critique group, and I also exchange chapters with another friend who is a writer. When I'm not reading their work, I'm reading books like SAY ONE KIND THING by Susan Verde.

[Kate]

Murder on the Medina by Bruce Hammack

[Amanda]

I am reading Tiger's eye mysteries series now. I like to read in sequence, & the new one should be coming out soon.

[Gail]

Satan's Diary, his perspective on events, sounds fun. I connected with the author on Bluesky.

[Agnes]

If you want a page turner, this is the one. Happy it will rain today so I can stay in and read.

Too Old for This by Samantha Downing

[Katarina]

The reckoning by Mary L Trump

[Katarina]

@Geraldine I am reading The reckoning by Mary L. Trump. I am trying to understand what is going on in the US.

[Kathy]

7 husbands of evelyn hugo

[Geraldine]

Katarina, yes , I imagine a lot of people don’t understand what’s going on in the United States. Back in 2016 when Trump first came in the stage, it took me by surprise too. Living through it as we have for the last decade, I understand more.

[Sheri]

R.F. Kuang's Babel (audiobook version). I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

[Katarina]

@Ruth there is a difference between socialist and democratic socialist. I am democratic socialist.

[Elizabeth]

I am currently reading Smuggler’s Cove by Fern Michaels - something light after some hard books.

[Laurel]

Trying to get into the 13th Juror. I am about 22% in and I keep forgetting who is who. Maybe I need a more focused reading time, but there seems to be a lot of characters and jumping around a bit. It could be that I haven’t been able to sit and read steadily so by the time I pick it back up I have to reorient myself. Hopefully I will get into it.

[Amanda]

I am starting the Posiden's Warriors series by Alyssa Day. Tiger's eye Mysteries is about one of the rebel warriors in Posiden's Warriors. I was glad he got his own series, instead of just disappearing off the pages. I love them!

[Rosie]

I had asked for a recommendation about a Romance book for older women and Ruth suggested "Our Souls at Night" by Kent Haruf. It was great. It was raw and filled with emotion that we as older adults would understand. Thanks Ruth.

[Kelley]

I'm reading Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited". I don't think I've ever seen a tv series (the one from 1981) that follows a book more closely. Amazing.
I fell down this rabbit hole because I watched the newer movie from 2008 and was so disappointed. I watched the old series again (saw it when it first came out) and marveled at the differences so decided to read the book.
Anyway, I'm half-way through it and wondering if I should even finish it because it is so like the series. Mortimer did a fantastic job.
Any thoughts from you guys about the movie, the series, or the book?Evelyn Waugh

[E]

I am going to finish "The Burning of the Vanities :Savonarola and the Borgia Pope"
written by Desmond, Seward.

I will have it finished pretty soon.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

I've been stuck halve way through Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance for months. I just can't don't find it interesting enough to continue.

[Katarina]

The odd woman and the city by Vivian Gornick.

[Shawne]

Im currently reading Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick. Its really cute. She does the narration. Im also reading the Haunting of Ashburn House by Darcy Coates and Have Play Nice by Rachel Harrison waiting in line.

[Ruth]

I e wanted to read Haunting at Ashburn House. I may grab it up when I finish this cozy mystery km reading. I’m reading New Girl in the Falls…it was slow getting started, but it’s picked up nicely.

[Kathie]

The Silent Patient….excellent so far

[Agnes]

All This Could Be Yours by Hank Phillippi Ryan A page turner.

Check out my blog review https://silkchapters.blogspot.com/

[Ruth]

Kathie, The Silent Patient is one of my favorite books. I have it on my forever reread list. Wait til you get to the second half. Gulp. Hahaha.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

If you run out of thrillers to read I recommend the Boy’s From Brazil by Ira Levin. I have to admit I have not read it, but the movie was excellent.

[Amanda]

I am now rereading the Wishes & Dreams series by Allie McCormack. I just started Coveted Mate. It is the 4th of the series. I love them!

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Tiger's eye mysteries series. I love them.

[Karen]

Currently I am reading Rebecca by Daphne and honestly... I hate it, I hate the main female character so so so much, she's annoying and whiny, and I just want to throat punch her.
I feel like I am missing something in the story. This was supposed to be like top-tier gothic romantic suspense. I am not getting any of those vibes at all.

[Agnes]

Just finished Famous Last Words by Gillian McAllister which was good.

Now reading The Book Club Murders by Lauren Delgardo good so far
