"1lila1" wrote:I'm reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It's really much better than I expected. I was iffy on the format initially but it being written in the form of letters actually gives the novel a sort of voyeuristic quality. My inner nosey busybody is loving it!

I wasn't sure about it for the same reason at the start 1Lila1, but once over that hurdle I loved it. One of the best reads of the year for me so far.

I am finally reading The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran! Just a hundred pages into it, but it is pretty good so far! I look forward to getting further into it later today.

I often have a couple of books that I am reading at once, but usually they books are in different places: one at my reading table, one at work, one in my car. This is the first time in a while that I have three together: Stronghold and Shadows, a A Bookshelf of Our Own: works that changed women's lives by Deborah Felder and Helen Dunmore's Mourning Ruth. The last couple of days I've read a few chapters of each and then on to the next book. Im rather liking this and think I'll do this more often. (it helps that the three are totally different from each other: a HF, a collection of essays, and a general fiction novel)

I read most of "Haunted Harbours: Ghost Stoies of Old Nova Scotia" by Steve Vernon, 77 pages of 120 page book.

The reason I didn't finish it was because the author admitted he embellished stories he had heard about ghosts or other supernatural beings and most of them really didn't interest me. I prefer my ghost stories unembellished if they're suppose to be true.

I'm not going to add it to my reading list because I didn't finish it, or I can add a wallbanged section like Misfit

I can recommend some better books on the same subject from my neck of the woods if you are interested.
