Ooooohhhh, thank you for the heads up voraciousreader!!

I'm embarking on a yoga teacher training and reading 9 required books on the subject including anatomy and physiology, so unable to add to the discussion unless you'd like to hear about your sexy psoas!

ruthbru - So True!!

Halfway through Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman and can’t stop laughing! (One of the gems from the library exchange cart.)

Re-reading A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley.

Carole, I read all three books in the Last Policeman series! Apocalyptic yes, but intriguing.

Halfway thru Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology. Lots of short stories so it's a quick read.

Got a rec for Patrick Rothfuss, anyone know his work?

Thanks, Julia! Will check library for The Name of the Wind.

Oh Joy, a new series! Hope not too long for the third book. My library has the first two. :-)

Just finished The Burgess Boys which is on sale for Amazon right now.  Same author who wrote Olive Kitteridge.  Loved both.

Minus, no rec for book review. Just here quick to say Happy Anniversary to this most excellent thread. Thanks Elizabeth for starting it, we still love and miss you!

Spent most of today reading The Name of the Wind. OMG what a great book!!

Finished Women in the Castle, very good book, yet another angle on WWII, my favorite type of fiction to read. Now reading The Bone Garden, also very good. Both recommendations from this thread, thanks!

Finished The Bone Garden by Tess Gerrittsen. Really enjoyed this book, and never saw the twist coming at the end. First book I've read in a while that has kept me up reading to see what happens next. Now I think I will continue reading A wrinkle in Time - started it a few weeks ago but life got in the way and had to return it, just came up for me again.

Still slogging through “Roots”.

Just finished Peter Carey's A Long Way From Home. set in Australia early 1950's. Irene Bobs, her husband a car salesman, set off on the Redex Trial, a race circumnavigating the continent with their nextdoor neighbor - a quiz show champion and disgraced school teacher. Fascinating descriptions of driving, the mechanics of automobiles, roadless, wild and forbidding terrain as the characters' histories are revealed. Lots about aborigines and their brutal treatment at the time and in the past. Hadn't realized I had read one of Carey's previous books before - Parrot and Olivier in America. He isn't my discovery though, having won the Booker prize twice, for The History of the Kelly Gang and Oscar and Lucinda!!

Thanks, JuliaJazz, I just ordered it & look forward to reading it! I just finished The Bane Chronicles & am currently reading (& enjoying) Karen Memory. (Both were suggested by readers on this thread.) And TaRenee, I just picked up Serafina and the Black Cloak from the library & hope to finish it before our trip to the Biltmore later this month. All of this reading makes my time on the exercise bike fly by - thanks for all your recommendations!

Edited to thank TaRenee for her recommendation

Absolutely loved The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear. Looking forward to The Doors of Stone coming ?? but hopefully soon. Just re-read The Handmaid's Tale and may pick up A Wrinkle in Time.
