I enjoyed Mick Herron’s third book in the Slough House series, Real Tigers. More fun and games (and rough and tumble) with the demoted spies, the Slow Horses.

Oh my gosh. I'm about 20% into Baby Teeth And I LOVE it. It is so so good.
I had forgotten what it was about, after adding it to my Kindle, so I started reading and thought "my this is a lovely contemporary story about dealing with hard things". And then I hit about 15% and thought "nope. nope nope nope. This is a horror story". SO So GOOD

Twisted Truth by Melinda Leigh

I am reading The Man Who Died by Finnish author Antti Tuomainen. It is excellent.

Former Australian Foreign Minister Gareth Evans recently wrote Incorrigible Optimist: A Political Memoir about Aussie and international politics and diplomacy since his student days in the 60s. Enjoyable, informative, and still optimistic!

I'm currently reading The Stars Now Unclaimed and after an initial struggle I think I am getting into it! Despite bad formatting on the kindle version... :)

I’m reading What Did I Do? by Jessica Jarlvi. I’m determined to finish it, but the writing is truly dreadful, to the point where it’s a distraction from her cardboard and unrelatable characters and meandering plot. So there’s that.

The Murder List by Chris Merritt has started well. . . 😎

The Girl With No Name

I just finished reading The Beatles on the Roof and gave it 4 stars.

Are you like me getting a little tired of 3 star books?

Hi, Dorie- Yes, I guess you could say that! I requested too many books, digging deep on NetGalley when my requests were at a standstill, being ignored. Then I got a little bogged down for May. Out of the several books I have to read for May, I'm only excited about one of them that I really, really wanted to read. To me, 3 stars is a book I liked, so I don't consider it a bad thing. However, it also means that if I wasn't reading it for NetGalley, I might have dropped it. 4 stars I really liked it and 5....I love it!

Yep often I would have dropped a book but continue on if it is still decent because it's from NetGalley an I want to keep my ratio high :( I have somehow managed to have 13 books to read between now and mid June but only 4 are from NetGalley, others are from EW or direct from publishers. Too many, I wasn't paying attention :(

From the Earth to the Shadows by Amanda Hocking

The Angel Makers 74% done Been a good book. This is the 2nd in the series and first one really should be read first.

I have coming up soon for me, probably will be my next read.

Jill you just click on add book/author at the top of the comment section, then a window will pop open and you select "cover" at the bottom and not "link", then type in your book at the top and click search. When the correct book shows up just select "add" and ZIP, the book cover will show up in your comment, right where you want it :) If I didn't describe it correct or you have any problems you can message me and I'll try to help :)

Click "cover" at the bottom and not "link", then type in your book title at the top and click search. When you find the correct book click add and there it will be :)

I added you as a friend in case you have problems you can message me and I'll try to help :)

Very much enjoyed Memento Park by Mark Sarvas. Searching for his family's connection to a painting reveals more about Matt's own connections with his family. Good read!
