I'm reading Paper Towns by John Green. It never really interested me but I got dragged along to see the movie and the movie was so well made and it gave me another view on life so I thought I should read it.

I'm currently reading Folk of the Fringe by Orson Scott Card. I'm not enjoying it as much as his other books, but I'm hoping it will redeem itself at the end.

'Oorlogsmythen' [War myths] by Ewoud Kieft.

Trying to find the truth between opposing views of the role of the Dutch in the Second World War, being that of self sacrificing heroes or it being a coïncidence if one became a hero, a good for nothing bystander, a coward or a traitor on the side of Nazi Germany. And how the ever changing views about these issues influence the current society regarding many various political and non-political issues.

@Barney56 I am having a hard time getting into it. There is something about the pacing or rhythm that I am struggling with.

I'm reading Born in Ice by Nora Roberts.

I feel like I've been reading a lot of her books lately, if I'm not a fan of her books already...

That was good.





This week I have 3 books going at the same time.

I got busy and still need to finish The Locket I like it so far.

Yesterday I started a group read. Mudbound by Hilary Jordan. I like the style it is written in. Each person has their own chapters and you get to hear their point of view. It is good and I am waiting to see where it goes.
"In Jordan's prize-winning debut, prejudice takes many forms, both subtle and brutal. It is 1946, and city-bred Laura McAllan is trying to raise her children on her husband's Mississippi Delta farm―a place she finds foreign and frightening. In the midst of the family's struggles, two young men return from the war to work the land. Jamie McAllan, Laura's brother-in-law, is everything her husband is not―charming, handsome, and haunted by his memories of combat. Ronsel Jackson, eldest son of the black sharecroppers who live on the McAllan farm, has come home with the shine of a war hero. But no matter his bravery in defense of his country, he is still considered less than a man in the Jim Crow South. It is the unlikely friendship of these brothers-in-arms that drives this powerful novel to its inexorable conclusion."



And my next buddy read is The Coffin Dancer by Jeffrey Deaver. It's the second book in the series.

Assassin's Creed: Renaissance by Oliver Bowden

I am currently reading Andy Cohen's first book about his life and starting at Bravo, I definitely needed a light read after Kite Runner. Kite Runner easily moved into my top 10 books, but I need a recovery period from it!
