I will be starting
by Donna VanLierre.
Just finished: 5★ for the novel The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore, a fascinating historical 'faction' about the battle of the giants, Edison and Westinghouse. Factual background with entertaining imagined relationships and romance.

I didn't either, Dorie, but Edison and Westinghouse have both been household names for a long time.
Just finished a really good NG read
Duplicity by Sibel Hodge https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm reading
almost 3/4 done and it's bogged down in details, too bad, it started out really well :(
Only started this
last night and nearly finished it already, a great read!
Just finished a breath-taking 5 star read
The Hanging Club by Tony Parsons https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
On a roll - three 5★ books in a row, I think. The latest is Nicolas Rothwell's book of essays, Quicksilver.He knows whereof he speaks, and he speaks well about European art, Russian literature, Australian Aboriginal art and history, and the growing interest in Australia's 'real' history.

I just finished Blood Lines
for those who like British police procedurals. I really like Angela Marsons writing.
Currently reading
, The Girl Before. It's pretty good, it won't be a 5 however :( Really really want a 5 star book right now
Just started Arrowood
and it's hooked me straight away.
I don't know if it's me or just choosing the wrong books, but I have had a lot of mediocre book reads lately. I'm pretty stingy with giving out 5's but a lot were just boring. Any of you notice that? Then I'm just waiting and hoping the next book will be that special "5".

From Sand and Ash is no longer available and Everything you want me to be is a wish for book. That's for the tip though, they will go into my TBR file which is getting ridiculously long.

Just finished
Blood Lines by Angela Marsons https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and starting
Dear Mother also by Angela Marsons
Just started Tragic Deception
which should be a quick read.
Cute one for little kids or adults reading to them. :)One to note for teachers.
Do Fairies Bring the Spring is beautifully illustrated, as you can see by the cover.

Just read my first James Lee Burke, and I'm sure it won't be my last.He sure can write! This is one of his latest, I think, The Jealous Kind, which paints quite a picture of 1952 Houston teens and crims.

I am going to request it.
I have this on my TBR NetGalley list too - good to hear it is a great read :)
I'm reading
They Can't Kill Us All: Ferguson, Baltimore, and a New Era in America’s Racial Justice Movement
I'm 90% done with
, The Stars are Fire and love it! It's hit or miss for me with Ms. Shreve but this one is a winner for sure!
Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly which has had me entranced and enthralled from the opening lines and
Difficult Womena collection of short stories by Roxane Gay which I am struggling with.
Dorie wrote: "I'm 90% done with , The Stars are Fire and love it! It's hit or miss for me with Ms. Shreve but this one is a winner for sure!"I can't pick this up on NetGalley. My searches come up with nothing. Like you, I have a hit and miss relationship with Anita Shreve. But this one sounds like a hit!
Sandy I got this from EW. The pub date isn't until mid April so it's probably still available, check it out!

A little book for parents, teachers, and little people of any colour.Sara O'Leary's new picture book You Are Three about three-year olds and how they've changed in a year.

Just starting The River of Kings by Taylor Brown, The Night Ocean by Paul La Farge, and The Bedlam Stacks by Natasha Pulley. Excited! Just finished Universal Harvester by John Darnielle, which was frankly a disappointment. Stay tuned!
It's hard to believe Trevor Noah, the well-known comedian and presenter of The Daily show (used to be Jon Stewart's), had such a scary upbringing in apartheid South Africa. Everybody had a tribe . . . except him.Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood
4.5★
