 What a long week! It looks like I had a better reading week than I did because I only had 10 pages in the Elizabeth Kostova novel left last Monday. I only finished the latest Kelley Armstrong by staying up until 3 AM on Sunday morning. I really need more free time because the lack of reading is really getting to me.

FINISHED SINCE THE LAST UPDATE:

Loved the new Elizabeth Kostova. Loved every minute of it. Atmospheric and nuanced and beautiful.

Jennifer Finney Boylan’s first fiction novel was not what I expected; the publisher’s synopsis is a bit misleading. However, what I read was insightful and interesting.

The latest Kelley Armstrong novel was the first unputdownable book I have read in a long, long time. Seriously. I started reading it late Saturday night and didn’t go to bed until I was done. It is a fantastic mystery with great characters that made me keep reading.


CURRENT READ:

Can you ever go wrong with Dennis Lehane?


CURRENT LISTEN:

I will definitely finish this during this upcoming week. I can say that it is even better than I remembered it.


UP NEXT:

Book Cover Image: Saint Death by Marcus Sedgwick

Feeding my Marcus Sedgwick addiction.
