The Chaos Kind by Barry Eisler

This combines characters from his two other most popular series. As this is the first thing I've read from this author, I can easily report that it works fine as a standalone. Spies on spies action.

PattyMacDotComma | 621 comments I do like a short story. Alexander McCall Smith has written some that were inspired by early 20th-century photos, including the title story Pianos and Flowers: Brief Encounters of the Romantic Kind. I especially loved Blackmail!
Pianos and Flowers Brief Encounters of the Romantic Kind by Alexander McCall Smith 3.5★ Link to my review of Pianos and Flowers with a couple of the photographs.

Sandra "Jeanz" | 20 comments I am still really trying to read The Movement by Petra Hůlová and i am still struggling. Anyone else read this one? I keep wondering if what i can only describe as "rough edges" & perhaps the fact the language used that for me prevents it flowing is down to the fact it has been translated to English.

Darya Silman (geothepoet) The Translation of the Seventy History, Reception, and Contemporary Use of the Septuagint by Edmon L. Gallagher

The Translation of the Seventy: History, Reception, and Contemporary Use of the Septuagint

25% read in one sitting, 5 stars from me so far. It's a story behind the first Greek translation of the Old Testament both for beginners and advanced scholars.

Sandra "Jeanz" | 20 comments So, it's rare but I have finally given up on The Movement by Petra Hůlová I just couldn't read any further. The blurb sounded great, I thought the cover was great too.

My next read is The Hush by Sara Foster

PattyMacDotComma | 621 comments I recently reviewed the Andy Warhol book from this series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, and he always makes me think of Marilyn Monroe, whose rise from lonely little girl to fabulous movie star is captured here (sadly no Warhol pictures).

PattyMacDotComma | 621 comments What a fantastic cover and what an odd book. The 1800s were full of fortune-hunters, in all senses of the word, all over the world. Fortune by Lenny Bartulin is wild historical fiction.

Woman Reading (is away exploring) | 21 comments After a long hiatus, Ilona Andrews have returned to their Kinsnen series with this novella -
Fated Blades (Kinsmen, #3) by Ilona Andrews Fated Blades

I haven't read the preceding installments which were really just short stories. There's plenty of world-building here with a Sci-fi setting instead of their usual UF.

Darya Silman (geothepoet) Paper Girl and the Knives that Made Her by Ari B. Cofer
Paper Girl and the Knives that Made Her
In the middle of this poetry collection. Unfortunately, I read previous reviews (as I always do before requesting), and one review was particularly harsh yet honest. The author of the book states, she uses both her own experience and fiction to create a picture of sexual assault, rape, heartbreak, and self-improvement. And because I can't distinguish where is fiction, where is the 'real stuff,' everything seems fictitious and unreliable.
