Just starting to wind up A Razor Wrapped in Silk by R.N. Morris, set in Imperial Russia in 1870. It's the third in his Porfiry Petrovich series, and so far complicated and pretty convoluted, but not horrible.

Just started the final book of the Hunger Games trilogy. It has taken 2-1/2 books to get there, but we are finally at the point I have been waiting for! Vive la Revolution!

Finished The Paris Wife by Paula McLain--quite enjoyed it. About 1/3 through Imagine by Jonah Lahrer; an amazing book on the neuroscience behind creativity.

re-read the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society for bookgroup. Still lots of fun, though the second time around I was less enchanted with the epistolary format.

I enjoyed that one! Some of the grammatical errors drove me nuts, but otherwise it was pretty good.

Perhaps any grammatical errors were corrected when Sourcebooks republished it. I haven't gotten too far yet. I have to admit that my knowledge about the Anglo-Saxon royals is limited. I've just never went into depth reading about that time period, so perhaps this book will create a spark that will cause me to do some research.

Reading Sigrid Undset's Master of Hestviken saga. I bought volumes 2-4 for my Kindle and have been waiting for volume 1 to be kindlized for a while. Decided to go ahead and take the plunge without having volume 1. I'm not sure what the hold-up is with publishing that first volume in digital form since the others are out.
