Just finished Ten Big Ones, by Janet Evanovich. I love Stephanie Plum, Bounty Hunter. And I love how The author always makes me laugh while I’m reading her books. This one was no different. Really fun stuff, even amid the gunfire and mayhem.

I think I'm now caught up on the Hillerman brand. Song of the Lion
This was REMARKABLY current for those who take an interest in Indian Country.

Do they call it "Indian Country" in the novels? That's surprising.

Finished Checkmate, by J.S. Le Fanu (1871). Whoa! Another book where I didn't breathe through the last few chapters. Part sensation fiction & part murder mystery, and I loved it.

I just finished Artemis. I'm a bit disappointed but I still love Andy Weir's writing. Here is my review.

I loved In a Glass Darkly and Uncle Silas. I really like Le Fanu's style and approach. I'll download my copy of Checkmate on kindle.

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I love Uncle Silas! Checkmate is less gothic but still fun.

Sex on the Moon: The Amazing Story Behind the Most Audacious Heist in History by Ben Mezrich

In this 'creative non-fiction' book, the author tells the true(ish)story of Thad Roberts, an intern at NASA who decided it was a good idea to steal a bunch of moon rocks to impress his girlfriend. In any case it's an interesting story that held my attention. (I'm constantly amazed about what people get up to.)

Have finished in the midnight sun by Cecilia Ekback and wow the characters are so full of life they almost become real and the way it’s written poetically haunting. It’s vivid harsh and ohh so magical in its description of nature vs science vs religion this is a great book.

If you're not tired of Le Fanu, B.J. Harrison is currently narrating The Room in the Dragon Volant over at the The Classic Tales Podcast. I'll be listening to that one as soon as he has posted the final episode.

The Last Alibi by David Ellis

Criminal defense lawyer Jason Kolarich has become addicted to oxycodone, and isn't thinking as clearly as he should. Bad decisions and bad luck lead to him being accused of first degree murder. Good mystery/legal thriller. 3.5 stars

Currently reading (listening, actually, and just started today) The Naturalist by Andrew Mayne. It's a genuine page turner with a fresh -- sort of -- protagonist. He's a computational biologist, which is a career path seldom included in most thrillers. Some reviewers have complained about stereotypical characters but maybe they're reading a different book. I'm not seeing it, at least so far. The science is explained well and is integral to the plot. I can't wait to get back to this book.

Cold Blood by Robert Bryndza

In this 5th book in the series, DCI Erika Foster is after a serial killer who likes to beat each victim to a pulp, cut them up, and stuff them into a suitcase. This investigation turns out to be very hard on Erika.
Once again, the story has an abusive man who hits and intimates a woman (This seems to be trend lately, one I'm not fond of.)

Cold Blood is a good mystery/thriller. 3.5 stars

Secondhand Souls by Christopher Moore

In this comic novel, Charlie Asher's death resulted in his soul being transferred to a body made of animal parts and luncheon meats. Now Charlie and his cohorts have to fight off underworld creatures that threaten to destroy the Earth. Lots of crazy fun in this story. 3.5 stars
(I love the cover of this book.)
