I Love Russia by Elena Kostyuchenko. Non-fiction. She is an ex Novaya Gazeta reporter. About a quarter of the way in. She loves her country but because of what is going on she had to leave. Kind of sad.

Done with this oneFinished this oneFantastic read! There’s always been a bit of comic relief in the series but, this was the first that had a good bit of it! Thoroughly enjoyed this book!
Taking a, albeit probably short, break from the Sackett Series to read book two of the Space Trilogy, Perelandra:

Spot on. I did find it somewhat intriguing to hear Lewis’ take on a world creation story and how it could look different if there isn’t the fall that happened in Genesis. Quite a slow moving book though.
I’m looking forward to this one. Going to read a few other books before I start the third in the series. Looking forward to it though!
Speaking of on to this one in the Sackett series: book 10 of 17
I do not remember liking anything after Dune, which was my favorite book ever for quite a while.
Krakatoa by Simon Winchester. I'm ⅕ in and if it doesn't get interesting soon it'll be a DNF.
This is one of my favorite books. My interest in Krakatoa goes all the way back to when I read The 21 Balloons as a kid.
I hope it gets more interesting for you.
(Hell's Library series #1) 3.5* I really enjoyed the world that Hackwith has created here. The unique concept has many thoughtful lines throughout the narrative. The pacing bogs down a bit in the middle, and the characters never really made me care much for them, but the world is top notch. I believe this is the first book she has written, and imagine that will improve. I'll be on the lookout for Hell's Library #2.
Boy, can Hitch write. I agree with him about 50% of the time but he’s always engaging. I‘m almost finished with the audiobook but I skipped alot of the deep dive into English politics. I wish he had read the book for the audio, it would have been much better.
Starting this and didn’t see the movie so no preconceived notions.

Finishing up some other books I’m part way through. Specifically this one:
Just finished The Count of Monte Cristo. I read the unabridged version translated by Robin Buss and published by Penguin. It was a phenomenal read, a masterpiece. It is long but I loved reading every minute of it and wished there was more!
Easy fun read. Really enjoying it about 40% in.
I just realized I have had this one for a while on my kindle app. Forgot all about it. Next up for me.
I got that same edition for Christmas — it's on my list.
Enjoy it! It is epic.
Dawson's War.

Haven't had much time for reading lately but I think the last thing I read (a couple of months ago now) was "Welcome Home" by Stuart McLean, a collection of short stories from small towns all across Canada. Really enjoyed the book, some excellent real life stories of small-town life and historical accounts of various lesser known areas across seven of our ten provinces.
And now I want to visit the Maritimes provinces even more!
He was our national storyteller. His passing was a great loss.
