What are you reading right now?
libertybele:
I love to read when I get a chance -- usually around bedtime to help me sleep, but sometimes I get too enthralled with the book and wind up reading into the wee hours of mid morning.
Right now I have two books out from the library (and they don't give you enough time if their newer):
"The Water Dancer" - Ta-Nehisi Caoates
"The Giver of Stars" - Jojo Moyes
One of the best books that I have read this year and has been on the best sellers list for quite awhile is "Where the Crowdad's Sing" by Delia Owens.
I recently finished " Ordinary Grace", by William Kent Krueger and I really enjoyed it and thought I had found a new favorite author but read two other books by him and was very disappointed.

Hope to participate soon.
Will mention two authors before closing.
Louis L'Amour western author,anything he ever wrote is as good as it gets.
W.E.B Griffin military history from a fictional point of view,but actually writing about real people and real events. I even knew or hear about some of the people in his books from people who did know them.
Absolutely first class,each and every book in the Brotherhood of War series.
Do yourself a favor and start with Book 1,The Lieutenants,and work your way foreward as the books follow the careers of some of these soldiers from right before WW-2,right through the wars in the Muddle East.
Historical fiction (?) just doesn't get any better.

I too love historical fiction.
Hope you get to feeling better soon ... One day at a time @sneakypete

Some small entertainment since I don't watch tv. I read a lot of these new authors. De-stresses me. And helps me sleep. I've read 74 books this year.

I have read every book by Danielle Steel -- easy reads...some are really good plots, some a little cheesy. I call them "escape books". I don't watch tv either.

I'm sensing a pattern here. I don't watch TV, either, except during baseball season. :)
And "escape books" are great - I have read the entire J. D Robb "In Death" series multiple times.
