Lisa is starting Empire of Things: How We Became a World of Consumers, from the Fifteenth Century to the Twenty-First
I feel like beginning this requires a caveat. It is 690 pages long in the Penguin edition, with tiny, bitty print and over 100 additional pages of footnotes (and sometimes I like reading footnotes). In other words, I am going to be picking and grazing at this for months, I think, while also reading other stuff. But I am intrigued.

Lisa is on page 120 of 650 of Lethal White (Cormoran Strike, #4)
Had to restart on this, as October has been a bad reading month, time wise for me. I really like it, I was just never getting around to reading it. So, here we go again.

Lisa is reading After the Funeral (Hercule Poirot, #33)
Classic Christie, enjoyable and kept me guessing, though I was wrong.

Lisa is on page 85 of 448 of The Garden of Evening Mists
Very well written, but slow, and I keep interrupting it with other books. But I'm sticking with this one, the story is getting more and more interesting.

Lisa is starting American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House
A bit hefty to take on a family vacation, so I am putting this one on hiatus for a bit. Well written, I just have to much going on to attend to Jackson at the moment. I need light reads right now.

Lisa is on page 289 of 454 of The Long and Faraway Gone
This won an Edgar, a Barry, an Anthony and a Macavity Award (most of mystery fiction's major prizes) and I'm understanding why as I read.

Lisa is starting Cards on the Table (Hercule Poirot, #15)
So busy this time of year, a Christie reread feels just right. And I don't think I remember who did it, I read this one so long ago.

Lisa is reading Flaggermusmannen (Harry Hole, #1)
Actually started this yesterday. Reading in English translation, of course, where the title is "The Bat."
