What Are You Reading 2

[Catch-up]

Maybe I'll still give it a try. Sounds like one I'd give up on though.

Just finished Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham. It was really, really good! Murder mystery set in Wales and very intense in some parts. I set it aside to read Whispers, and because it was stressing me out a little. But, such a good read! I'm going to see what else he's written.

Janet Evanovich, Notorious Nineteen.

Ooooh, I gotta get reserve that one at the library. Much as I like her books, I never buy any of them--they're far too disposable to warrant a permanent place on my bookshelf.

I'm reading a book by an American author named Alan Furst on Sharlene's recommendation. Very good so far.

As opposed to Zachariah Last?

I am currently trying to read Jacqueline Carey's fantasy work Banewreaker, which is basically The Lord of the Rings is Sauron was a good guy. And The Lies of Locke Lamora.

Thanks to the gift cards and re-issues I am working my way through all 8 of the The Dread Empire series by Glen Cook. I've been waiting for about 20 years to get all the books together in one place. Wooot!

I agree. My mom buys them and I borrow them from her. Otherwise, I'd go the library route as well. I've always wanted to send Janet Evanovich a card that just says, "Thank you for Lula!"

 

[Tonyblack]

You could always post a message to her on her website.

"I ain't fat, I'm big boned"

So, do you agree with Furst's opinions on Sharlene's recommendations?

 

[Tonyblack]

Absolutely . . . I think. :think:

 

[Catch-up]

"I ain't fat, I'm big boned"

She looked down at the empty cake plate. “What happened to the cake?”
“You ate it.”
“Hunh,” Lula said. “I didn’t notice.”

[Bouncy Castle]

It wasn't exactly that Lula was fat. It was more that she was too short for her weight.

I'm a fan of Glen Cook's Garrett P.I. series reading Angry Lead Skies at the moment I thought I had that one as I have all the rest and he has a new one out this year.

 

[Cheery]

Reading "An Abundance Of Katherines" by John Green. And taking ages to do so -_-

 

[Quatermass]

Read the first volume of 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa. Not bad, rather like Stephen King's It with much less horror and a bizarre cult.
