Hello, Darkness by Sandra Brown It's been a while since I've really tried to sit down and read one of her books..The last one or two I tried, I couldn't get into right away so I set them down...I found this one and one other book by her at a thrift store, and seeing they were so "cheap" and I do like her stories over all (the ones Ive read and finished), I decided to buy them. :-)
I've decided that this year I want to read book about Marrige :)
I am currently reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Complete Sherlock Holmes 2 by Arthur Conan Doyle. I'm also listening to The Templar Salvation by Raymond Khoury on my commute to and from work.
Last night I finished
, a biography on the life of Donalda Cameron. I will be putting a review up today - an excellent read, inspiring subject matter.
Just started Death of a Citizen by Donald Hamilton, the first Matt Helm novel. As part of the January 2016 mini challenge
I'm reading The Flanders Panel
right now. It's been in my TBR list since 2010...I'm also listening to
on my commute.
Just finished reading
For Love or Vengeance by Caridad Piñeiro.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
meh.
Just finished Death of a Citizen by Donald Hamilton the first of the Matt Helm series. Matt is the American version of James Bond, paid by the government to kill peoplè that need killing, like Soviet agents.Lots of backstory in this first book in the series. I don't know how I missed this series when I was younger, maybe it was the silly Dean Martin movies that borrowed the character name and the book titles.
I've never read the Matt Helm novels, but I loved the movies with Dino.
I'm reading Roses Are Difficult Here
for the Ultimate challenge (book set in my home province). There aren't a lot of books set in Alberta so I went with a classic.
Now reading Fer-de-Lance by Rex Stout the first in the Nero Wolfe series. I'm reading it as part of the January mini-challenge.
I finally finished my interlibrary loan last night! It's now a day late, so I hope I don't owe too much of a fine.
Money: A Suicide Note by Martin Amishttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished my book pals book:
The Sound of Glass by Karen White. This book drove me to my Kleenex box. I estimate it as 6-12 kleenex book. I had the audiobook and the different narrators are exceptional.

I am reading
for another challenge and
to try and get some books off my bookshelf.I am enjoying both.
Brave New World
and Around the World in 80 Days
both are for the Ultimate challenge (classic from the 20th century and book that's over 100 years older than I am). Both are fascinating.
OH! And for the Jan mini challenge, I'm reading The Flanders Panel
. Which is a mystery,but not a cozy mystery.

. Which is a mystery,but not a cozy mystery."Yes, "La tabla de Flandes" is not a cozy mystery at all, but it is a very good book (I read it a looooot of time ago, when Pérez Reverte was not a well-known writer).

It's been on my TBR list forever and I finally got around to it. I didn't realize he was a well-known writer, but I can see why.
