Currently reading: A History of the World in 12 Shipwrecks, by David Gibbins. Really interesting and enjoying it so far.
DNF: Creation Lake, by Rachel Kushner. I do not understand the hype at all on this one. It was just bizarre. I gave it a good run and got 50% of the way through, then gave up. |

I was trying to finish The Vampires of El Norte by Halloween but still have 100 pages left.
Then I had a motherlode of books on hold hit at the library last week, all due by mid-November: Somewhere Beyond the Sea, TJ Klune We Solve Murders, Richard Osman A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (Had this on hold FOREVER - wanted to read it before watching the show). The Last Seance: Tales of the Supernatural - a short story collection from Agatha Christie. Also wanted to read this before /over Halloween but it just arrived from my holds (I was #1 on the hold list for 4 weeks!). |

| I’m reading The Goddess of Warsaw by Lisa Barr. It’s a historical fiction about a Jewish WW11 assassin turned Hollywood star. So far, I am really loving it, although it is gut wrenching to read. |

I’m the OP who DNF Creation Lake. I did not get this book. It was billed as a spy thriller, which is why I picked it up, but… that’s not what it was at all. I don’t know if I’d read any of her other stuff, in spite of the Booker Prize nominations, because Creation Lake was so weird. |
