[Jeana]

Starting The Red Pony by Steinbeck. I have never read this novella and am really hoping this doesn't make me sad.

[Linda]

Starting (again) to listen to The Nix. I had to return it to the library before I finished it and it has taken so long to get it back, so I will start all over. I don't remember what I read at all. (Unlike The Nest.)

[Nancy]

I'm reading The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England which feeds my love of British History and The Farmwhich is a psychological thriller and is really sucking me in.

[Jeana]

I am in the mood for a fast paced crime novel. Started Triptych by Karin Slaughter

I just finished The Nix on audio. It did take a while with 17 parts! But I thought it was very good. I found it especially interesting that it took Hill 10 years to write the book, and yet it is incredibly current and in keeping with what's going on now politically. He did a great job of wrapping up all the many story lines at the end.

[Betsy]

Started The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny. This is number 3 in her mystery series featuring Inspector Gamache and going back to Three Pines is always a treat.

[Kate]

The Kindness of strangers--Katrina kittle

[Jeana]

Started Honor by Elif Shafak. I have been waiting for weeks for this to come in from PaperBack Swap and finally received this week.

[Jeana]

I am reading To a God Unknown, another book in my Quest to read Steinbeck's body of work. Also listening to Brown Girl Dreaming, not sure how I will make out with this since I don't typically read books written in verse.

Have you read Another Brooklyn yet? I haven't read Brown Girl, but loved Another Brooklyn. If you can't get through the verse of Brown Girl, try this one. Not in verse but poetic all the same.

[Betsy]

I'm reading The Tempest for my book group which meets Monday. I had read this in high school many moons ago and liked it, we'll see if it stands the test of time - my time that is. Clearly it stands the test of time generally.

[Jeana]

Starting a new audio book today, The Good Lord Bird by James McBride. I really enjoyed his book The Color of Water so hopefully this is good, as well

[Betsy]

Started Moonglow on audio and Breaking Wild for my book group. The author is local and coming to the group. I'm not a fan of that because then I don't feel I can really be honest about the book with the author sitting there. We'll see how it goes.

Good luck! It is really difficult to discuss the book openly, lots of surface discussion and everyone tip toeing through. It is interesting to hear how and why the author made choices or where they found inspiration.

[Betsy]

I just started Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk on audio. And I finished my e-book so I now get to pick whether I want to finish one of my many started books, or pick a new one. I love these kinds of dilemmas!

[Linda]

Betsy wrote: "I just started Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk on audio. And I finished my e-book so I now get to pick whether I want to finish one of my many started books, or pick a new one. I love ..."

I'm eager to see what you think of Lillian, Betsy! I feel as if I have a personal stake in that book.

I resumed listening to Mischling and I started reading The Orchardist. I'm debating putting that down for a short time to get to something else with a deadline.

[Betsy]

I need to go to the physical library more often! They had new books available that I'm having to wait for ages on at the downloadable library. I picked up His Bloody Project and started that this week.

I also started A Gentleman in Moscow on audio.

[Linda]

Resumed listening to and am readidng

[Jeana]

Just started The Light Between Oceans on audio and started reading In Dubious Battle by John Steinbeck.

[Elle]

Not 'just started' as I am more than half way through but, I haven't posted in a while. this started strong and quickly dwindled and now i am struggling to finish the last 25%. Sad but amazingly - well written and objective.

[Linda]

Celine

[Betsy]

I'm starting a few books at once. I was able to get
Pachinko
We Should All Be Feminists
and
Difficult Women
all from the library today. I couldn't pass any of them up, so I figure I can get through Adiche's in a night (it's very short) and alternate a Gay short story with chapters of Pachinko.

[Linda]

Eager to see what you think of Pachinko, Betsy.

[Betsy]

Started LaRose on audio a few weeks back. its taking me a while because I haven't been in my car as much as usual.

[Linda]

There have been times, Betsy, that I'm glad I have a long trip ahead of me.

I'm about to start The Women in the Castle

[Betsy]

I am in Charleston, SC for vacation and reading on my iPad at the pool is a challenge ;-(, but despite those first world problems, I have started Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine . If you are a foodie who also likes American history, this is for you.

[Gail]

Just started Naoko by Keigo Higashino. I've read all of his other books, I love his mystery/thrillers. Always an unexpected ending.

[Betsy]

Started Kookooland for my book group. I'm not a huge memoir fan, so we'll see how it goes.

[Linda]

Between Breaths: A Memoir of Panic and Addiction

[Jeana]

Started The Expatriates on audio and Stolen.

[Betsy]

Started A Piece of the World on audio.

[Nancy]

just starting Natchez Burning 800 pages so should take me a while!

[Nancy]

Just started . It's a slow go so far. Also finally got my new Bookmarks mag at my new address. Yea!

[Gail]

Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane

[Betsy]

I'm listening to To The Bright Edge of the World

[Betsy]

Nancy wrote: "Just started . It's a slow go so far. Also finally got my new Bookmarks mag at my new address. Yea!"

I got my copy a couple weeks ago and I know I need to post the new selections. That will be coming soon.

[Jeana]

Started Killers of the Flower Moon and Listening to Gone Missing.

[Betsy]

Started The Dry on audio.

[Sera]

I enjoyed it, Betsy. I hope that you do, too.

[Linda]

Wow! I haven't kept up with my posting here. Today I started listening to Peter Pan in the car and Love That Boy: What Two Presidents, Eight Road Trips, and My Son Taught Me About a Parent's Expectations on my iPad. I started reading Are You Anybody?: A Memoir last Thursday.

[Betsy]

Listening to Arrowood . I'm getting through it but finding too many similarities with Dark Places which makes it not seem very original. I think it may even have the same reader.

Also started 97 Orchard: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement . I was really looking forward to this one, but it's not grabbing me the way I thought it would.

[Linda]

Started and finished listening to Theft by Finding: Diaries. Replaced that with Al Franken, Giant of the Senate. Listening to Razor Girl in the car. Reading Comfort Woman

[Betsy]

Started Fates and Furies on audio.

[Linda]

Starting Exit West

[Nancy]

actually about half way through tough subject matter but I wanted to know more about the situation. Also listening to for some comic relief

[Gail]

Just started The Crying Bird by E. J. Stillings

[Linda]

Wonder (listening) and The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley

[Nancy]

Linda wrote: " Wonder (listening) and The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley"I tell everybody I know to listen to Wonder. Don't you just love Augie?

[Linda]

Nancy wrote: "Linda wrote: " Wonder (listening) and The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley"I tell ever..."

Yes, Nancy, I do. Ever since I read it the first time, I've encouraged anyone I know to read this book. In fact, my boss just finished it, and she recommended it to another co-worker.

This re-read is because of a book discussion. One of the very few books I would consider reading again (because there are too many I want to read a first time).

[Betsy]

Listening to The Last Days of Night
