Lela (lacslc) | 191 comments I second Jody's recommendation of India Was One. If you enjoy short stories & are interested in India, Bombay Bhel by Ken Doyle is also excellent!

Lela (lacslc) | 191 comments India Was One is going to be 99 cents according to the author. This would be a good week to buy it. Definitely worth a read.

Annie Thomas Does anyone else enjoy the Lindsey Davies stories about the 1st Century Roman detective, Marcus Didius Falco? They have great plots, fantastic historical detail, and terrific characters.

Hope you enjoy them May, they can be humerous as well! Try and read them roughly in sequence if you can as the characters develop throughout the series, but the odd one out here and there is fine.

Are they anything like Cadfael, the detective priest in Britain! I don't know why I would think they might be. They're written by Ellis Peters.

Lela (lacslc) | 191 comments I'm reading Raymond and Trudy by Michael Twist. I'm more than halfway finished and I love it! Great characters with interesting, layered development. The story is shaping up nicely, too. It is written as a YA (which I haven't been for a zillion years) but I believe anyone could/would enjoy it!

Geeky geneticist creates a questionnarie based on scientific approach to meet a future wife... Fun and quirky

My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Also Finished Revenge Wears Prada The Devil Returns (The Devil Wears Prada, #2) by Lauren Weisberger - 2 Stars.

We are reunited with Andy Sachs- 10 years after her memorable exit from Paris, didn't really care for this- I would say worth skipping...

The Divine Arsonist: A Tale of Awakening. It was AMAZING. Labeled Spiritual Fiction it is reminiscent of a modern day Alchemist tale.

Britany | 941 comments Finished Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead -- 4 Stars!!

Ballerinas, Barres, and Broken characters... After pondering this all day, I really connected to this book. More serious than one would think, and not a "feel good" book- beautiful writing and deeply drawn serious characters leaves me satisfied.
