I'm definitely going to focus on some history books I bought but haven't gotten around to yet.
Also want to touch on some biographies - Steve Jobs, Catherine the Great, Margaret Thatcher, Ben Franklin . . .
If The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest ever comes out on paperback (I want my books to match dang it) then that will move to the top of the list.
I'll also delve into I indie writers more.

 This is the second of a sort of series by an independent author who's a member here. I enjoyed her first one so got the second when it was published. It's not very long. . .and a quick read. . .good story so far. The first book is  . One quibble . . .it's called "The Alexis Brooks" series, but the main character in the first one is someone else. . .Alexis Brooks is just someone important to the plot as I recall. . . .so I think that's a bit odd. . . . |

Still have Icefall on my Kindle... but I'm also reading MORTAL STAKES by Robert B. Parker. I'm a little over halfway through, which is surprising for me because I usually tear through Parker's work.

Happy New Year! Currently reading Scarlet Lion by Elizabeth Chadwick, the sequel to The Greatest Knight which I also really enjoyed. Wondering why it took me so long to get to it. N  |

The story of The Mill River Recluse looks very tempting. I think I'll have to get it.

I finished Before I go to Sleep, and am now back to reading A Feast of Crows. I put it on hold to read Before I go to Sleep, because it is our book club selection and I didn't know how long it would take, but I read it yesterday and today. A good book.

I just finished The Hunger Games, and also gave the set as a gift to a brother-in-law. I'm told his teen age kids told him he'd love it.

My son-in-law read all three books in less than 2 weeks, which is unusual for him. He has more of a tendency to read books about finance, real estate sales and development, and other books related to those fields. He had his nose buried in his Kindle every time I saw him over Christmas. I was impressed enough that I started reading the first book. I'm about 60% through it, and it's quite good. |

I'm trying to carve my way through some of the modern classics. I finished Slaughterhouse 5 yesterday and I'm 40 pages into Nineteen Eighty-Four. It's shocking I didn't pick it up before. It truly is horrifying from the outset; amazing writing.
I read Slaughterhouse 5 for the first time last month. It broke my mind and I seriously regret not reading it soon. Fantastic book. Started reading  yesterday. The most interesting thing so far is the description of how laborious and time consuming DNA extraction was in the 90s. I'm so glad I wasn't doing research then! |

I just finished the first book in the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones. It's a fun series.. Think of a paranormal version of Stephanie Plum.  And now I'm reading the next one in the series (a short story)  I'm sure I'll finish that pretty quickly and then I'll be on to:  And then I'll wait impatiently for book 3 due out at the end of January. |

I found Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park to be very good back in the day when I read it. I'll have to check into this book about the science of DNA extraction. |
