I finished The Ragged Edge of Night by Olivia Hawker.   Set in Germany during WWII.  It was okay a bit too religious for me. Nice story of a family trying to service during way.

I started Comanche Moon by Larry McMurtry.   I decided to read The Lonesome Dove series in chronological order rather than publication order.  I read Dead Man's Walk last year, which technically is the first story, followed by Comanche Moon.

Reading The Jewel of St. Petersburg by Kate Furnivall.  Half done.  The story takes place just prior to and during the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas.  Includes a romance between the daughter of a Russian minister and a Danish engineer.  Enjoying so far.

I finished The Anatomist's Wife the other night, and started the second book in the Lady Darby series, Mortal Arts, last night.  No, I am not a historical mystery convert, yet, but I figured since the second book was on my shelf, I might as well read it.  LOL!  They'll kill two categories in the HF Mystery challenge. 

I have about an hour left in my audible book, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.  I'm going to try to pound that out tomorrow.  I've been listening to this book for far too long.  LOL!

 The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab is done.  I enjoyed it.  Dual timeline - modern day and several other dates from 300 years prior.  Interesting concept.
