I am reading "Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton. I am only 40 pages into the book; not sure what I think yet. A bit slow starting but appears to be an interesting story. This is the next selection for my book club.
I'd thought it was Frances Hodgson Burnett's 'the Secret Garden' (a children classic) but after doing a search it wasn't actually. Can you tell me what you think after you finish it?

I'm still in the middle of Hugh Laurie's Gun Seller, which is hilarious But I stop today to brush up on the lectures, which are unbearable. I enjoyed the subject at first and the books are well written, I would love to listen to any lecture given by any other professor but I had no such luck. I hate the present lecturer and she makes me hate the subject. I feel sick having to study all the scraps just because the lecturer forces me to.
(I'm rambling, aren't I?)

I forgot to say it's set in the early 19th century. It isn't a great literature but a very entertaining mystery/detective. I bought it before the Agency thing and since then her ebooks seem to be available in the US but not in Europe.

Right now I'm reading The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman. I haven't been able to put it down for more than a couple hours since starting. So far it has exceeded my expectations.

I put that on my TBR pile when I saw my library has it as an e-book!

I'm at about 60% through "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco.

So far I'm describing it as a book that uses hearsay to discuss heresy.
