    Currently reading 1984 by George Orwell, and it's an interesting read for sure! After this, the plan is to read Animal Farm by him as well.

    I'm still reading Bridget Jones Diary 💕, but also picked up * Larry Nelson's A History of Jonathan Alder His captivity and life with the Indians*

    ..it is really interesting and informative. I'd recommend it to anyone researching history of Ohio. 🤪

    My known maternal line ends in 1820 upper sandusky and so I'm a little obsessed about trying to solve a mystery!

    @AdahPotatah2024 if you like true stories about Indians you should read The Blue Tattoo: the story of Olive Oatman.

    @tuddy315 Thanks!:)

    I have read about her, but not the book, yet. I think she was with Mohave Indians out west. A lot in this book is tragedy, unfortunately, but learning more what life was like in that region back then.

    I'm reading A Witch With No Name by Kim Harrison currently (last book in the series) and listening to These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs.

    Just finished listening to The Nix by Nathan Hill. I didn't hate it (I finished it) but I didn't love it. I don't like it when writers leap around between multiple characters and back and forth through time for no reason. And he did that. Constantly. I can think of several ways he could have provided the same information without being obnoxious and irritating. Plus, he did it third person omniscient (if it was all first or second, I would have quit) but minus, he had several sections that served no purpose at all. I picked it up because I was told it was about gamers. This is only a little true—two of the charcters are MMORPGers but the only reason it matters is that is how they meet. The rest is not really relevant to the story. I'd say it was 20 hours of my life that I'd never get back but I was driving for it, so...Maybe I would have liked it better if I read it hardcopy…but maybe not.

    On the actual reading side, I finished The Undead Pool by Kim Harrison a couple days ago, which was pretty good. I'd quit reading the series about 12 yrs ago because the main charcter got whiny but decided I wanted to see how she wrapped it up—either the whinyness abated or I just needed time away from the series.

    I've just started this … well, it's sat in my Currently Reading folder on my Kindle, so once I've got the time to sit down & read it, I will start it …

    I said my final goodbye to my husband in January 2023, so hopefully, this isn't going to be a weepy story. I'm hoping for the thriller - I don't do romance of any trope 💔

    Just started the Wolves of Winter by Dan Jones. Absolutely love a bit of historical fiction that doesn't deviate wildly into fantasy! Usually tuck into anything by Bernard Cornwell but saw this in the charity shop the other day so thought I'd give it a crack. Would probably have got more out of it, in terms of the characters, had I read the first book, Essex Dogs, which I haven't. But still proving to be a good story in its own right, set in the backdrop of the siege of Calais. Recommend!

    Kim by Rudyard Kipling

    I have a goal of adding Classics to my reading list this year.

    Right now, Before I let Go by Marieke Nijkamp. I've read This is where it ends by her awhile ago.

    Came here to see what interesting things other people are reading to see what my next pick could be. I have an addiction to ordering from Thriftbooks.com. I'm always on that site. Thrillers and horror are my go-to genre but I read from all genres. Nickle and Dimed and A mother's reckoning are two non fiction that I'v read that I would suggest to others.
