For members in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand who borrow e-books or audio books from your public library, check to see if they are affiliated with Hoopla, because The Girls in the Stilt House was a "Hoopla Winter 2022 Spotlight Selection" and appears to be still available.

No, they're just North America.

No, they're just North America.

Oh, strange, as their website mentions also being in Australia and New Zealand, but maybe it hasn't happened yet.

Since it's just a little over 2 weeks till November, giving this a bump in case anyone missed it when it was first posted.

Again, the book we'll be reading in November is The Girls in the Stilt House by Kelly Mustian.

I tend to listen, and if audible doesn't have it it usually isn't available.

 

[nurseangel]

I don't know if I will be able to join in, but the book looks interesting. That house on the cover; how beautiful!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

I'll be finished with the current Dune novel tomorrow or the next day, and will get started! I SHALL TAKE NOTES this time.

 

[verna davies]

Notes are a must Mamanyt1953 . I have just finished the book and have two big pages of notes but come review time I know there will he lots I have forgotten. Hope you enjoy the book.

Can't find this book either to beg, borrow, or steal - except at ridiculously high prices. Perhaps it's too new!

So, I'll spend some time with Wilkie Collins (1824 - 1889) and his novels. The Moonstone, which I may reread, has been proposed as the first modern English detective novel. I won't bore you with any more details

I wish you all good and happy reading until December!

Yes! I read that, too: a long time ago and I certainly enjoyed it.
