This is the September bookclub pick. Loved Amor Towles "Gentlemen From Moscow" and "Rules of Civility" but reading "The Lincoln Highway" was like watching a Wes Anderson movie when your not in the mood.

Still on my quest to reread all of Richard Russo. Can't tell you how much I love his body of work. ❤📚
I am so enjoying this book, much more than when I first read it several years ago.
Avery Keene is back and looking into an AI gone wrong problem.....or did it?
I like the Milo Weaver series by Olen Steinhauer and liked the movie made from All The Old Knives, since this book has been on my shelves for awhile I decided to read as I'm in the mood for another spy novel.
This was so good think I will rewatch the movie based on the book.
Listening on audiobook. Personally I am enjoying these books on audio best. Fun group of gals.
Do love Japanese mystery writers. Second book I've read of Keigo Higashino and enjoying the mystery.
Just started and from page 1 made me chuckle and by page 13 outright laughing.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough, it is wonderfully hilarious and moving.
Picked up this book at Kinokuniya Bookstore in New York, big fan of Japanese mysteries and literature.
Originally read this in 2017 but now there are two more in the Susan Ryeland series decided to reread and enjoying it again.
Another new Michael Connelly with a new protagonist, how exciting!
Loved the first of a new series and the protagonist Detective Sheriff Stillwell that takes place on Catalina Island off the coast of California. As usual great characters and a decent mystery. Look forward to the next installment of the series. Get writing Mr Connelly!😁
Our July bookclub read picked by Peter. It was made into a movie by Pedro Amoldovar called The Room Next Door with Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton. Want to read the book before seeing the movie.
Jumped into last night on my Kindle and liking it.
Christ what a bunch of nincompoops, it is amazing a company run by a group of nepos, slackers, and maroons (in the word of Bugs Bunny) could reach such financial levels....greed and idiocy galore. Became so disgusted i had to stop reading this nonsense. And Sarah please develop some gumption quit being a doormat, stick up for your own sense of morals....jeeze.
These are the books my hubby picked up at Thrillerfest XX the thriller writers conference he attended. So many new books to read 🤪
Went to the Strand Bookstore while in NY. Lots'O books...18 miles of books. The stacks were so tall they have ladders in the aisles in case the book you want is on the upper shelves. Fortunately I didn‘t need to climb for any if these books.
Picked up this book and the first in the series The Bucharest Dossier at the Mysterious Bookstore pop-up during Thrillerfest at the Thriller Writers Convention in New York that my husband is attending. It is quite good and satisfying my need for a Slow Horses type story.
Highly recommended.
Read this for bookclub in 2022 but now listening to the audiobook.
Reading the second book in this series, will have to read the first when it becomes available. Enjoying it.
In the mood for an Inspector Rebus mystery. Ian Rankin always pleases.
This is my Russo haul from Kzoo Books both of which I have previously read but are in line for a re-read. Straight Man is hilarious, probably his funniest book and the one I am currently reading.
Just finished another wonderful book by one of my favorite authors Richard Russo. Heading to the used book store to see if I can pick up another...probably something I have already read but it never hurts to reread a favorite.
Just finished listening to This Time Tomorrow. It has been in my mine for many years what it would be like to go back to the age if 15 or 16 having the knowledge I have as adult so this book intrigued me. I enjoyed it. Also I did not know Emma Straub is the daughter of Peter Straub another favorite author. His book Ghost Story is the best ghost story I've read.
When i discovered Richard Russo had another book in the "Nobody's Fool" series I had to get it. Forgotten how much I love Richard Russo. As I am reading I still see Paul Newman as Sully who is dead in this book but mentioned frequently. Nice being back in North Bath with the regulars, less Sully, again.
Our June bookclub read selected by Carol. I will be traveling from NYC for bookclub in June and will not be able to attend so will email my comments. Most of the bookclub members are in Sacramento California, one is in Lacy Washington and I live in Kalamazoo Michigan so we meet via Microsoft Meeting which works well. I miss being with my friends but it is great seeing them once a month.
Listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it. So reminded me of when I read "Live From New York" the terrific book of making Saturday Night Live which the author acknowledges along with other books by cast members.
Love the Flavia di Stefano and Jonathan Argyle books by Iain Pears, the are lighter than his historical novels and always fun.
Another book that has been sitting on my TBR and bookshelf for quite some time finally being read.
What an unusual book, lovely and tragic.
A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF VIOLENCE is a caper-gone-bad crime thriller set in 1980‘s, in Boulder, Colorado - a cesspool of drinking, partying, and drugs. In this world, three small-time operators; Bruce Keown, Sean Akana and Kurt Black, do their best to find the scams, establish their dominance and sniff out the next score, no matter what the cost.
Yippee, love when I finish a book and get to choose a new one to begin. Pulled The Bee Sting off my shelves which I have been looking forward to read. Picked this up at Brilliant Books in Traverse City Michigan.
Liked Euphoria by Lily King, Writers and Lovers has been in my Kindle for a very long time so decided to finally read it.
Really loving this book. I highly recommend this book, thinking of reading her first novel Salt Houses also.
Stopped at This Is A Bookstore to pick up The Fraud, sat down to read a little of The Arsonist's City and was so intrigued I left with both books.
My bedtime reading on my Kindle.
What a quirky book and I enjoyed reading a book written 3 authors with 3 distinct characters.
Listening to the audiobook, the Stephanie Plum books are a hoot to listen to
Reading for March bookclub as chosen by Vicki. Started reading on my Kindle but couldn't get into it so downloaded as an audiobook. I usually love Appalachian literature and appreciate this book is an uplifting book on the area instead of drug fueled stories but the writing is banal and the book boring.
Bailed on it but went back to the audiobook as it is a bookclub book,, and it is getting better but still not one I would recommend.
Reading on my Kindle the final Highway 59 series book and it is quite good... of course it's Attica Locke.
Just starting......this has been on my shelf since publication 10 years ago, my husband loved it and so I decided to read. Trying to read off my shelves instead of borrowing from the library 🤪
Read the first chapter and already hooked. I love Nathan Hill ♥
Can't express how much I loved this book and it's author Nathan Hill. He has become a favorite author and soon as his next book.....there will be a next book won't there Nathan Hill?........is published I will be rushing out to purchase.
Second book in the Ray Carney tale for February bookclub courtesy of moi.
Wondering of Colson Whitehead will do another Ray Carney book, this time in the 80's.
