This morning, I finished Blind Your Ponies by Stanley Gordon West because I fell asleep last night only pages from the end. I'm going to start Windswept: Walking the Paths of Trailblazing Women by Annabel Abbs, and am listening to Good Night, Irene by Luis Alberto Urrea.

I’m still working on PrairyErth by William Least Heat-Moon for the February NatureKIT. I’m also reading The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood and listening to The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich for personal categories. And I’ve started The Long Drop by Denise Mina for the March ScaredyKIT.
I’m planning to read Attrib. by Eley Williams for the March ColorCAT, something by Robert Macfarlane for the March NatureKIT, and something yet to be determined for the March CoverCAT.

I am currently reading Elizabeth of York - The Last White Rose by Alison Weir and like it very much. I am also listening to Slightly Dangerous by Mary Balogh - I have been looking forward to this one so much and it doesn't disappoint!

I started Bride by Ali Hazelwood last weekend. Other than that, I don't know what I will read for this month. Maybe get back into some classics that I'm partway through?

I started Someone Like Us while also dipping into Ella.

I'm reading Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men on the Bummel, a sequel of sorts to Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog).
15lsh63
I'm reading The Frozen River, and because I have library greediness, I'm also going to juggle Kills Well With Others, Dream Count, Three Keys, High Tea and Misdemeanors, and Hang On St. Christopher. Let's see if I can finish all of them before the month is over!

>15 lsh63: I read The Frozen River for the second time recently. I have the book.

I've finished The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride by Joe Siple and also Tom Lake by Ann Patchett.
19LadyoftheLodge
I finished The Holiday Cottage by Sarah Morgan, currently reading Wild Scottish Beauty which is cracking me up, and Meddling with Mistletoe which is shaping up to be a romantic comedy. Also getting back to Villa Mirabella which I half finished some time ago and stopped in the middle.

I am currently in the deep jungles of Bolivia at a wildlife sanctuary as I read Laura Coleman's memoir, The Puma Years.

>20 DeltaQueen50: That sounds so interesting! I’ve added it to my TBR.

I finished Bride very quickly and, surprisingly, liked it enough to give it 5 stars.
Now I'm reading New Moon by Midori Snyder (well, a second or third re-read, TBH) and The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson.

>22 threadnsong: That is really funny, I had the same experience when reading Bride recently. When I started I felt certain I wouldn´t be able to finish it, the first person narration was just so annoying, and the worldbuilding so fladt. I scolded myself for trying to read anything touted as a tiktok sensation.
But then it grew on me. Not five star grew on me, but it was a lot better than I anticipated:-)

Just finished Meddling with Mistletoe and How to be a Saint which are both NetGalley reads. Reviews are in my thread and on the book pages.

>23 amberwitch: OK, so, Bride was a tiktok sensation? I had no idea. I can see that, though, especially given the age of its man characters. I waffled between 4 and 5 stars, and decided it was so much better than I expected it deserved that extra star.

I've started a book called Facemaker about a gifted plastic surgeon and his work with the facial wounds during the Great War. It's very readable, though I sometimes have to put it down due to its subject matter.
Still reading Demon of Unrest and have moved onto Beldan's Fire, the second in Midori Snyder's series.

I'm reading The Maniac by Benjamin Labatut who wrote When We Cease to Understand the World, which I liked despite it's being a strange, confusing mix of fact and fiction. Also reading The Feast by Margaret Kennedy, which is much more straightforward. We know that a landslide has destroyed a small hotel, but we don't know who has survived. We're getting to know the people in the hotel, and I'm hoping that it's the nasty people like Canon Wexford and Lady Griffin who end up dead rather than the characters I'm starting to like.

After seeing some discussion about it on one of the threads (sorry I can't remember whose!), I'm rereading Agatha Christie's Towards Zero. I remember the murderer, so it's interesting to read the book in light of that knowledge.

I just finished a really great book about Danish homes in the past 100 years, Hjemme hos Danmark. I feel so seen and also so average. So many of our furniture, garden and interior designs has been just the same as everybody elses in the same socio-economic bracket at the time. Funny.
Considering Danes on average spend more of their disposable income on their homes than any other nationality, this is a topic near and dear to our hearts, and a great way of documenting the evolution of the country, and telling about the sociology and history of the plast 100 years.
Despite being about our homes, and featuring a nummer of interior images and images of furniture and decorations, there are only doors on the cover, so I can’t use it for the BingoDOG challenge: “25. A piece of furniture on the cover”.

I have started The Story of a New Name by Elena Ferrante, the second volume in her Neapolitan novels. I have also started When We Were Vikings by Andrew David MacDonald and these two books will carry me into April.

I finished Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen, recommended by a friend. I found it very interesting although I suspect I would have found it even more powerful when it first came out, at a time when mental health was still very much taboo.

I've just finished Good Night, Irene by Luis Alberto Urrea which was a BB I took from Kay a couple of years ago. Wish I hadn't waited to read it. I'll be reading more by him for sure.

I'm trying to squeeze one last book into March, The Lost Ticket by Freya Sampson. But I'm only about 1/3 of the way through, so it may carry over till April.
