You can always tell when I've been on vacation(s) as my finished book list is nice and long :)FINISHED:
Cemetery Road
Olivia Twist
Along Came a Spider
Astray - a fun collection of short stories about various people who have crossed a line.
Destroyer Angel
Only Us
Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass
Othello - maybe not the best choice for mountain climbing in the heat...I spent much of the hike saying "WTF just happened?" I don't think I'm a Shakespeare aficionado.
The Silent Patient - excellent twist at the end!
A Night Divided - a story about a family split by the Berlin Wall. I had never read about the wall from this perspective so it was interesting.
Tear Down This Wall: A City, A President, and the Speech that ended the Cold War - I expected this to be solely about President Reagan's speech but it gave a lot of the background before he gave his famous speech.
Heretics Anonymous
Roses are Red
The Brass Verdict - from the series that inspired The Lincoln Lawyer movie. Can't wait to re-watch the movie and see how it fits the books.
My Name is Not Friday - the story of a 12 year old free black orphan sold into slavery and his fight to get back to his only brother
Urge to Kill - funny there is no indication on the box that this is book 3 in a series. Guess I better add the rest of the series to my to read list...
Look Alive 25
IN PROGRESS:
on my iPhone: The Reversal
on my home stereo: The Endless Beach
And now it's your turn - please let us know in a (linked) post on your blog or in the comments below, what you have been reading. Anything counts: novel, magazine, quilt pattern or cereal box!
Am about 1/3rd through "The Silent Patient"--sort of spooky, I think--waiting for the other shoe to fall as I know it will..hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteRecently finished Educated by Tara Westover (NF- a powerful and disturbing book); A Murder for the books by Victoria Gilbert (1st in series).
ReplyDeleteCurrently reading Drawing home by Jamie Brenner (beach read) and Fifty things that aren't my fault by Cathy Guisewite (hilarious and poignant, reminds me of how much I miss the Cathy comic strip).

I don't know any of your books this month, but some sound very interesting. I think 'Olivia Twist' and 'The Silent Patient' will find their way onto my to-read-list!
ReplyDeleteMy reading has been fairly slow lately...not because I don't need, but all my current books are kind of slow going, so I haven't finished anything in a while.
You were a busy reader in July! We listened to "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" to and from Marco Island. It was *wonderful* and enhanced by the gal who did the audible. What else? I've been on an Amish kick...read a lot of Amish Christmas fiction in July. LOL! I've got Dear George, Dear Mary in my lap (so to speak) right now and am number #86 on 6 copies on "Where the Crawdads Sing". I'm #37 on 4 copies on "Educated" and #14 on 1 copy of "The Library of Lost and Found." Have you read any of those?
