I have just finished reading Terror at 3am (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) which is an incredible page turner and great murder mystery book.

It was written by a friend of my late husband who, together with him, was working as a criminologist in the San Francisco area. Duane (the author) and Don (my late husband) believed they knew who the east area rapist was after long days and nights of research - but this person has not been detained and the crimes remain unsolved.

Terror at 3am is that story. It's a fast-paced, gripping novel about the individuals who tracked him down and the perpetrator and how he got away with these crimes.

Based on real life events, this novel is such a well written and gripping story that I couldn't put it down.

I am reading "Florence and Me" by Elaine Bertolotti. She is an American who has lived in Italy for many years. It's a fun little book, easy and pleasant, with a lot of usable information and a genuine, respectful tone... I'm a male of 59 years, and find it a great read to share with children as well.

Colombia: I am reading the great classic, "one hundred years of solitude" by Gabriel García Marquez. What a lovely story, with a lot of parallels to the political and social situation in Colombia.

Good tip, I actually loved the film, and I have wanted to read book but not done so.

I'm on book 4 of the Iron Druid Chronicles, . Great series! When I'm done with these I'll be starting the Dresden Files books.

[Zeynep]

I'm on page 105 of The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. It takes place in Prague (part of Czechoslovakia at the time). It's really good so far, I love when books make me think and question things.

[Brenda]

I am reading, "Reunion of the Blood" by John Hennessy. It is a spine chilling tale of vampires.

How are you liking Elena Poniatowska? I read Leonora by her, and it was really hard to follow. She did a good job incorporating surrealist writing into it, since she was describing a surrealist painter, but it made the story really hard to follow. I wonder what her style is like in other books.

I'm reading The House of Dolls right now and loving the author's descriptions of Amsterdam, but am having trouble getting into the plot. Has anyone else in this group read it and had a similar experience?

The book was about the Mexican railway strike in the 50's. The author did have a tendency to go be uneven in her use of time. But since it was a historical novel, it was generally easy to follow. I enjoyed it and learned some Mexican history as well.

Lost Horizon is a wonderful book. Who wouldn't want to live in Shangri-la?

[Carol]

I'm reading The Shape of Water by Andrea Camilleri, and enjoying Sicily. I'm a little more than 100 pages into The Infidel Stain by M.J. Carter and having a little difficulty caring about the mystery. Also reading Rashomon Gate by I.J. Parker and enjoying 11th century Japan immensely.

[Anita]

Holy cow, this book is getting real intense really fast. Gone from spooky, to scary, to downright diabolical. And I'm only 158 pages in!

[Shantelle]

Hello! I recently completed reading Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams & currently reading The Crown by Kiera Cass and absolutely loving it!

In case you're interested in Mali and biography/history novels, I suggest reading any novels by Amadou Hampate Ba if you find them translated in English.

Recently I re-read Discovery Road
Enjoyed it so much that we decided to put it up as a free offer, in exchange for a review for our recently revamped website...

Some travel books are accounts of journeys to extraordinary places, and as such, we make allowances for the quality of the writing. Discovery Road however, was reviewed in the 'late' Independent thus: "The power comes from the excellence of the writing." And Sir Ranulph Fiennes was impressed enough to say: "Readers will be inspired to reach out and follow their own dreams."
We are extremely proud of this book and are eager for the story to reach as many people as possible. So, we are giving away - yes, free, gratis - a copy for anyone who will commit to giving it a review.
Please get in touch and become a friend of Eye Books...

Either way I love Narnia.

I'm reading it right now. It is a magical fantastical trip. I'm 76% through it and I will definitely read it again.

[Veronika]

I am reading Mother At Seven which came out few days ago! It is my own book that I wrote but it is honestly the first time I am able to simply sit down and read it without fixing errors or picking on things. Many months with this book and I still cry when I read it :(

[Alia]

Part four of Gulliver's Travels.

[Jazz • Min]

I'm reading My Beautiful Friend by Elena Ferrante! This is the first book that I've read by her and I'm only about 100 pages in but I'm enjoying it enough that I think I'll pick up the other books in her Neapolitan series as well. I stumbled upon this book by chance, just a week after watching a glowing video review which introduced me to the author, when someone in my building left a pristine copy in the 'free' area of our front lobby. A great find! I think this may be the first book that I've read by an Italian author.

[Anita]

Finally started the Dresden Files, about halfway through

[Zoe]

Currently reading Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter and loving it. I've read some of her short stories but never finished a novel by her.

I also have The Trigger: Hunting the Assassin Who Brought the World to War by Tim Butcher on the go as my nonfiction read, about Gavrilo Princip and political movements in the early C20th Balkans more generally. It's very accessible and has much more travelogue elements than I expected, not that that's a bad thing.

[Katheryn]

Reading An Unsafe Haven by Nada Awar Jarrar, set in contemporary Beirut. The protagonists are torn between a desire to escape the conflict, and a desire to remain in the only place they think of as home. Am captivated so far.
