This book is hilarious.

I've been busy with my new release, The Istanbul Conspiracy--until I discovered the new Greg Ile's book!!! Reading: Cemetery Road!! I LOVE his books. Enjoy your winter reading!

I'm about to start reading The Paper Wasp by Lauren Acampora after reading the Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden.

I've been reading The Lion Trees for a few weeks. It's a long book - 799 pages. I'm about 1/3 thru it. Very well written and the story draws you in.

I've just finished Girl Eight by Melinda Woodhall

I've been going back and forth between fiction, "About That Fling," and nonfiction "Pinterest for Authors."

I'm working on a new memoir. The response was so amazing to LOVE The Beat Goes On, my healing journey, that I felt the time as right for another chapter. My journey from Canada to living in Mexico and now I'm in Istanbul brought me to explore the Middle East. I shouldn't be surprised as most of my Code Raven Books are set somewhere in the ME. All of this led me back to the Essential Rumi. My fans will be happy to hear that the second memoir will link what we know to who we are and to some of the beloved poetry of Rumi.

I'm currently reading Once night Falls. It's historical fiction about Italian partisans during WWII. Well-written with well-defined characters. Check it out!

I am currently reading "City of Heavenly Fire" By: Cassandra Clare

Since I finished The Paper Wasp by Lauren Acampora, so now, I'm about to read Finding Kai by David A. Willson.

So freakin cool I love it. 😊

Finished reading The Shadow District

Deborah, how did you like Pinterest For Authors. Did you find it helpful?

Completed WIPE - Part 5... disappointed. Also finished Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

Still working on Yesterday's Gone: Season Five. Started listening to Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution: Modern Physics for Non-Scientists.

I'm reading The Fever Code for James Dashner. I delayed reading it for months because I almost know the maze runner series by heart, I needed to separate myself from the series for a while. I liked the series, especially the third book, that I reread it a few times.

Now I'm reading The Fever Code, I think this book is even darker than the rest of the series, I want to know how it will end, and mostly I'll write a review about it.

Just finished A Stranger in the House

And am currently reading Murder of a Small-Town Honey and Death By Curiosity

I’m currently listening to the audiobook “Understory” by Lisa Lickel, read by Eric Allen. It’s amazing. Highly recommend!

Sarah Stewart Taylor's debut mystery The Mountains Wild. Really good so far.

Finished listening to Acceptance. Beautifully written but maybe a little unfulfilling in terms of content. Now listening to Infinite.

Also reading Yesterday's Gone: Season Five.

Completed Infinite. Another disappointment. I'm definitely in a slump.

Currently reading Yesterday's Gone: Season Five and listening to The Uplift War.

At the moment I'm reading One Hundred Years of Solitude and hearing Viva Durant and The Secret of the Silver Buttons

One Hundred Years of Solitude is such a good book. Hope you enjoy it!

I'm just starting Long Bright River.

I finished reading Crazy Rich Asians and... Here's what I thought about it: https://howdidthisgetpublishedofficia...

I love this author! I'm only on the second chapter and of course I'm loving it ;)

Just finished .
Fictional story about a crisis and how a small community copes. Avoiding spoiler alerts, it's very close to home and the current coronavirus situation. Had to put down at times when too painful to read, but overall inspiring (and hopeful).
Contemplating what to read next..., but as it's VE day soon, and in lockdown. I've "borrowed" my partner's book. (Very) small print but looks good?

I am rereading “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.” I’m rereading all of them!! And they are so good! Tell me how y’all feel about Harry Potter!!

I have started reading nevernight by jay kristoff

I just finished Wrong Number by Lucian Bane. One the best smexy `Romantica' authors out there!

I’m reading ‘The Forest of Enchantments’ by Chitra Divakaruni

Finished reading Yesterday's Gone: Season Five, and enjoyed it a lot. Nice bounce back from a lackluster Season 4.

Finished listening to The Last Astronaut.

Currently reading The Sparrow and The Rages. Listening toThe Uplift War.

I'm reading The Masterpiece by Fiona Davis

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I’m reading notes on a nervous planet by Matt Haige.

I'm currently tackling Crime and Punishment, as well as an excellent history of disease - Plagues and Peoples, by W.H. McNeill

Just got done reading Penelope and here's how I feel about it: https://howdidthisgetpublishedofficia...

I'm re-reading On Writing by Stephen King. I think this will be my fifth time! I'm currently living in Istanbul, Turkey, and writing another memoir. I'd forgotten the whole family dynamics of Stephen King's early years. It's rather hilarious and very honest and real. I love it! And the writing tips are of course, perfect. That's saying a lot from an author who has never ever read a Stephen King novel because I don't like his genre, But I admire his talent.

Finished reading The Rages. Loved, loved, loved it!

Currently reading The Sparrow. Listening to theThe Uplift War.

Completed The Sparrow. Review can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show....

Currently reading the short story, Teresa's Gift. Listening to The Uplift War.

Finished the short story Teresa's Gift. Currently reading We Of The Forsaken World....

I'm reading The Killings at Kingfisher Hill by Sophie Hannah. It's really good, one of the best new Hercule Poirot books. Once I've finished that I'm wanting to read Dust and Shadow by Lyndsay Fay. Is it good?

Finished reading We Of The Forsaken World.... Starting The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.

Recently finished both The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas and The Paths Between Worlds. Enjoyed both very much.

Currently reading Thirteen Roses Book Two: After: A Paranormal Zombie Saga.

I recently finished an enjoyable short story, Safe Haven as a prelude to reading The Running Game. Also just finished listening to The Paths Between Worlds, which was very good. Ends with a cliffhanger though.

Currently reading How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking and listening to Underground Airlines.

Re-reading Eyewitness to the Civil War (The Complete History from Secession to Reconstruction)
Edited by Neil Kagan - Narrative by Stephen Hyslop - Introduction by Harris J. Andrews.
Published by National Geographic, Washington, D.C. - 2006

I'm currently reading Down World, in reviews, its been compared to Stranger Things and it definetly does share a similar vibe

Completed the audiobook forUnderground Airlines. Now listening to Mother Teresa: A Life Inspired.

Currently reading The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. I can see why it won the Nobel Prize in Literature - it's a masterpiece. I'm only 55/60% through it but it's one of my favourite books. Just beautifully written.
