I will second Mick Herron, and Joe Ide. I enjoyed The Stranger Diaries too. Just read the first in a new cozy translated from the Polish, Mrs. Mohr Goes Missing which is set in Cracow in 1893. The

I’m in two book clubs -one read The Overstory last year and the other is reading it this year. Highly recommend I stayed up until 1:30 finishing Mary Trump’s book but it doesn’t qualify as

I read The Overstory and recommended it to Mark. Yes, long. Yes, intense. Loved it, though. It was a Now Read This monthly selection. Ann in PA Sent: Friday, July 17, 2020 10:45 AM To:

I’m working my way through The Magician trilogy by Lev Grossman. The basis for the series on SyFy that we thoroughly enjoyed. Another case of “the books are better “ than the show. I borrowed

Thanks for the recommendation.? I am in the middle of reading Things in Jars, by Jess Kidd, which I learned about when Anmiryam read it.? A little offbeat, and a good story, well written.? (I also
