Coming into fall already! I confess to a Bookbub splurge on Pearl S. Buck. I am now reading Imperial Woman, about the last Empress of China.

Still not reading much, HF or anything else. Thought I'd get back in the groove with the new Kearsley book, but just abandoned ship at 27%.

I have enjoyed several of Kearsley's novels, although i can think of one that was a dud. Was considering ordering this. What didn't you like about it?

Continuing my Edward Rutherfurd streak with Russka. Stories so far are on the boring side, although the historical details are new (to me) & keep me going through the long book. Maybe I should have taken a little longer breather after recently finishing his London. My favorite of his time sweep historical novels is still Paris.

I’m reading The Dry by Jane Harper, a contemporary thriller set in Australia. I’m also still reading Daisy Belle by Caitlin Davies via the Pigeonhole app. It’s the last stave tomorrow and I’ve been really enjoying it. I can recommend it if you enjoy books inspired by true events, this one about women champion swimmers in the Victorian era. There are some great photos of swimming costumes! Don’t know how they kept afloat in them.
