It is in the Inspector Gamache series but was published in 2022. However she has a new Gamache book that I just requested from the library.

Started it. Through 100 pages, and already I know there will be several tragedies in the next 500, or possibly all of them in the last 100 pages.
Plot has not moved an inch yet.
Wife bought the āMy Brilliant Friendā books. We just finished the series, so it will be great to see what was excised.
It was a tough but great read

finished The Passenger
started The Every by Dave Eggers
I just finished Stinger by Robert McCammon. I heard good things about the show Teacup which is based on the book, so I wanted to read it before watching the show.
Didnāt think the Passenger nor The Every was anywhere near their best book but any book by McCarthy or Eggers is very good.

I did not read the book, but Teacup the series was interesting. Weird but interesting.

I could read this easier if it used bullet points with a space every few lines or so. My brain starts to seize up if I see more than six lines without a paragraph break. Maybe I should start to read more 19th century novels to get better at it.
Just finished. My, my, my.

For some years, I have felt I should read a book by the intellectual John Ralston Saul as much of his thinking in the 1990ās resonates well today.
I read The Unconscious Civilization this past week. I agreed on his concerns over corporatism, globalization and the rise of individualism at the expense of the common good. However his condemnation of professionals seems to be a lesser concern to me than the current trend to ignore them and listen to charlatans instead.
The book is short but you have to have a clear head when you read it: I had to pick my times to fully appreciate his thinking. I will next read some Naomi Klein whose thinking is similar but more user-friendly.

I finished Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect. If you liked the first, youāll like this one. If not, then you wonāt. I liked it.
Just finished The Great Hippopotamus Hotel by Alexander McCall Smith. This is the latest book(#25) in his No.1 Ladiesā Detective Agency series.
Finished Book 1 of the āMy Brilliant Friendā series.
Wife is still reading #2, so I have to wait.
We watched the series, but the books add more and they are in English.
I finished Remarkably Bright Creatures and liked it. In the first 3rd you donāt really know where it is going - how things tie together, that is. By about the midway point, you know exactly where it is going, which in some books is really bad, but this one pulls it off.

Anyone want to recommend a book for me to read along with? Iām going to try and start reading again. Dan Brown type stuff is what I mostly liked.
