I just saw yesterday that someone has put Bella Poldark on hold and it's due next Saturday. I have no intention of letting that person wait for months like I did, so I'm going to read the remaining 395 pages by Saturday. I know I can do it, because I read A Suitable Boy (1500 pages) in 3 weeks when there were a dozen people waiting for it.

Paine, glad you liked it! I liked that it had a sweet character story underlying the mystery.
Just started reading The Secret Keeper yesterday.

I really liked Joyland too, although I was in the minority with the rest of my book club. They weren’t keen.
I just finished The Sea Gate, by Jane Johnson and really enjoyed it. It’s our book club selection for April. I’ve always got a book and an audiobook on the go. My audiobooks are usually light & chick lit-ish, something easy to follow when I’m puttering around the house. Right now I’m into Robyn Carr, listening to The Promise, #5 in the her Thunder Point series. I’m also reading another Robyn Carr, Down by the River, #3 in her Grace Valley series. I tried to get into Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel but it was just too cumbersome. Maybe post Covid I’ll try again as I do love historical fiction, especially British.

I finished the 3rd in Barbara Bretton's Sugar Maple series, Spun by Sorcery, and it really dragged compared to the first two. There are more ebooks in the series but I will wait to read them. I did enjoy all the knitting talk though. Also finished the audio of Susan Orlean's The Library Book and enjoyed it, though a lot of the "gee whiz, libraries aren't just big buildings full of books!" tone had me rolling my eyes. Yesterday I read a great little novella, A Dead Djinn in Cairo by P. Djeli Clark which has been recommended on so many podcasts. It's a tight little mystery set in a fantasy steampunk version of 1910's Cairo. The worldbuilding is incredible, especially in only about 50 pages. My audio hold of Daring Greatly by Brene Brown just came in this morning. Undecided on the next print book in the TBR stack.
