Currently reading Joe Hill's Full Throttle. Last night I finished FAUN, and damn but did I have weird dreams!
I'm reading the Burn for Burn trilogy by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian. Someone should make it into a tv series. It could be the next Pretty Little Liars.
Nightmares and Dreamscapes and
"Only the Strong", by Ethan Cross.

Reading a book online called "Sowing Seeds in Danny" by Nellie McClung
Sowing Seeds in Danny by Nellie L. McClung: Doubleday , Page & Company Hardcover - Jans Collectables
It was published in 1908
From Wikipedia: (I edited it a bit as it was quite lengthy):
Nellie Letitia McClung (born Letitia Ellen Mooney; 20 October 1873 – 1 September 1951), was a Canadian author, social activist, suffragette and politician. She was a part of the social and moral reform movements prevalent in Western Canada in the early 1900s.
Her great causes were women's suffrage and the temperance. It was largely through her efforts that in 1916 Manitoba became the first province to give women the right to vote and to run for public office.
In 1927, McClung and four other women who together came to be known as The Famous Five launched "the Persons Case," contending that women could be "qualified persons," therefore eligible to sit in the Senate.
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the current law did not recognize women as such. However, the case was won upon appeal.

Finished The Wych Elm by Tana French. Can absolutely be recommended. Few in the thriller business write as good as she does. A step up from her latest, The Trespasser. This is not part of her series like the others. There are detectives present but we follow another person that as the investigation goes on starts to ask questions about himself, about his friends and his relatives. Are they, and himself, really the persons he has always thought? Very well done.
just started reading Star Wars Resistance Reborn earlier this morning. ill probably finish it this weekend since its a short new star wars book
Adam Nevill - The Reddening. I like his local legend backdrops, something old and evil close to awakening, and this book continues that theme.
I am reading Bazaar of Bad Dreams. My husband gave it to me last Christmas, he ordered it from abroad as I read books only in the original and here the book cannot be found now. Now I am about half way through it. Unfortunately, I don't have time for reading now. But I do enjoy it when I get a chance to read for some haf an hour.
Yesterday I finished Joe Hill's Full Throttle. You Are Released grabbed me.This word-master has written about human attitudes in a microcosm. Canada looks better all the time.
Its a natural reaction, Neese, but i personally actually prefer tea!!You're welcome here anytime (just call first so I can put on some tea and cookies) - oh yeah - that's right - you guys usually like coffee
It's funny - but Tery said something similar after watching The Handmaid's Tale
I felt a pull over the new year, so I began the journey to the Tower again. Just finished Wolves and starting on Susannah now.
That pull can be very strong. Enjoy.

Is it because you're Swedish? - I know when we travelled through the States to go to Florida to visit the in-laws many years ago, if we asked for tea they always gave us iced tea.
The only place we found a really good cup of tea was at the Canadian Pavilion at the Epcot Centre
I got that one out from the libary but i did not get very far into it. but i do have plans to buy it hopfully soon
I am still on it, but i think i may actually be half way done it. i am glad i caved and got the movie re-relese paperback as it is more portable. i am not shure its his best book, but then i only started to read it after the movies and tv shows, so perhaps it got a bit over hyped for it. i keep on forgetting it was written in 1983
There's actually a supernatural entity in those books. I was pleasantly surprised. I won't say anymore because I don't wanna give away the plot. I finished the trilogy on Sunday. I gave them away to my friend and she's reading them now.
Great English translation of this history of Bohemia, what would become Czech Republic, takes you right from the beginnings to Czech Republic's first decade with communism. Excellent.
I’m reading Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life by Ruth Franklin.
It’s a biography.
