How are you finding it, what is the genre / author etc.

I'm reading Flesh the Booker Winner but I've got my eye on an old Lee Child Reacher book I found in a charity shop.

I read The Correspondent and Heart the Lover over Thanksgiving week... both amazing but quite the emotional doozy. I had a hard time picking next book but...

The Instrumentalist- about an orphan in Venice in the 1600s who is a musical prodigy. So far ok.

Also have Playworld and hoping to read Hamnet before seeing the movie.

Let us know what you thought of it. I posted my impressions on the Nov thread, and there is also a separate thread about this book.

I started reading Patti Smith's second memoir, Bread of Angels, last night. I loved Just Kids.

I'm back on my bullshit and reading an Aubrey Maturin book, The Surgeon's Mate.

Anthony Hopkin's memoir, " we did ok, kid" So far it is interesting

“A Marriage at Sea.” So far, I think the couple is nuts and the incident completely foreseeable. But it’s an interesting story.

Yeah I posted on that FLESH thread but stopped looking because someone wrote spoilers and I'm only about half way through. I think it does read like a skeleton text, waiting to be fleshed out (maybe that's why the title is what it is). But I also find it compelling. The main character Astivan is completely lacking in charisma, but the paradox of who he is, can be intriguing. I actually like the way it jumps from place to place. There's no room for BS and waffle, is there?

Read Malala’s new memoir over Thanksgiving and really enjoyed it.

Completely changed my impression of her. She’d be fun to hang out with!

Then The Christmas Bookshop and Small Things like These for my two bookclubs

Thanks for this feedback— it’s on my to be read list as I tend to love ocean adventures and voyages.

Right now I'm reading Once and Future Witches by Alix Harrow.

I've read two Alix Harrow books before - 10,000 Doors of January years ago and The Everlasting last month. Her writing is incredible.
