I didn't like this at all and dumped it in chapter two - back to Linwood Barclay's No Time For Goodbye after finishing My Royal Shomance which I enjoyed very much.

Today I finished book one of Nora Robert's The Dragon Heart Legacy trilogy called "The Awakening." This is different from the other books I have read by her. It is a romantacy about an alternate universe that has magic and no technology. A young woman finds out she is of both the modern world and the land of Talamh and choices must be made. It is a cool story and I have book two to read and will reserve book three. I like it a lot. There are dragons of course!
That was my favourite book of his. I started Whistle by LB but lost interest.

I have made my Goodreads goal of 105 books for the year! Yay me! Or maybe not, that much reading might suggest I don't have much of a life. LOL
I finally finished No Time for Goodbye and I won't read another as it was too dark for me, with no joy, until the very end.

That was good! I think I’m about 50 for this year. I have had all these classes this year so less time for reading.

Just finished book two in the Dragon Heart Legacy, "The Becoming", by Nora Roberts. I thought it was a pretty typical fantasy/romance with the ongoing battle between good and evil. It's fun and now I will read book three and finish the fairly predictable story.
I have started reading this and finding it interesting, so far. Thank you for the recommendation.

Finished the Dragon Legacy trilogy. Last book called "The Choice." It was predictable but I enjoyed the books.
I just started Flowers for Algernon. I have heard of this book and I know it is very famous but I’ve never read it before. It seems quite disturbing so far.

I read that many many years ago and remember it vaguely. I did just now look it up and there have been 2 films made based on the story.
It is referenced in a lot of American TV shows, but I thought the storyline was something completely different. I don’t know what I was confusing it with.
I started reading this again and about 3/4s of the way through now - it has been easier to consume this time around.

Flowers for Algernon was incredibly dark and depressing! I felt like I couldn’t stop once I started it.
I have to start my book for my new book group next week. It is a young adult one. I forget the name.

Finished High Noon by Nora Roberts and also read The Wedding People by Alison Espach which I thought someone recommended but not sure who - it was a great book, easy reading and different from the usual.

I'm going to start my new book today. Heavenly Bodies. It is a romantasy so I'm not particularly looking forward to reading this book.

I read "Blood Sisters" by Vanessa Lillie who is a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. This is a chilling thriller though it is fiction is based on the terrible fact that NA women disappear at an alarming rate. Lots of twists and turns as a NA woman BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) agent searches for her missing sister.
I remembered the title from when I was in High School! It was one of the books you could read for English Class, but I don't think it was one of my choices. I don't care for dark stories, but I rather doubt "Flowers" could be any darker than "All Quiet On The Western Front", which was a novel about World War One told from the perspective of several German soldiers.
ETA: I just looked up "Flowers"- I saw the movie version with Cliff Robertson. Very sad.

Today I read Michael Connelly's newest book called "Nightshade". It's a good fast read about a sheriff on Catalina Island investigating the murder of a woman known to be a "gold digger" who works at a gentlemen's club. There is also a buffalo killed on a preserve. It all ties together in a twisted conspiracy. Good read! This is the first book in a new series.
yesterday I picked up Nora Roberts "Hidden Nature" from the library - hopefully will get it read as I still have Stephen King's "Never Flinch" that I haven't even started yet and had to renew today - so addicted to reading on my phone that 'real' books get ignored
