July! Fireworks for the US… books for the rest of us. 😃
Currently I am reading:
**Competence** by Gail Carriger, the best so far of the Custard books, but stil not even visually up to the quality of the Parasol books.
**Americanah** by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, much to my surprise, I am enjoying it a lot.
**Killing Pretty** by Richard Kadrey, someone tried to kill Death…
**Shade Chaser** by Sara COulson, the present tense narrative is fun, I’m not far into it but I enjoyed the first book in the series a lot.

Khadaji was one of the earlier members of SDMB, and he was well-known as a kindly person who always had something encouraging to say, particularly in the self improvement threads. He was also a voracious, omnivorous reader, who started these threads way back in the Stone Age of 2013. Consequently when he suddenly and quite unexpectantly passed away, we decided to rename this thread in his honor and to keep his memory, if not his ghost, alive.
