I read the first book in that series recently. and really enjoyed it. I plan to get the others when I can, and am looking forward to reading them.


I’m glad you enjoyed the first one. I’ve been a fan of Cornwell’s ever since coming across his Richard Sharpe series many years ago.

and now I'm reading Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee

It was Stonehenge that made me a fan of his work.

This man knows how to spin a yarn!

This man knows how to spin a yarn!"
Mister Ed: "Don't yell at me, Wilbur, I'm not your wife."
I got River God second hand at a library sale back in the late 90s and still remember particular scenes from that book. His writing is fast-paced and vivid.


For English Class: A Tale of Two Cities (better than Great Expectations, not as good as A Christmas Carol)


Rich and evocative fantasy. The spirits of old London, the true hearts of the bricks and wharfs and incandescent lamps band together to hold back the sprawl of glass and steel. Sounds strange and it is strangely endearing, this fight for what we remember.




And also this one... I mean, who doesn't love a hero with an accent!? http://www.donnakauffman.com/badboysk...
After these two are finished, I will dive into Fat Girl Skinny by Amye Archer - I won this copy from her!! (http://www.amyearcher.com)
And: Elisabeth is Missing by Emma Healey! (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...)

I tend to read a lot as a rule anyway, since my time is mainly spent either writing or reading. But it also helped that most of those books weren't very long, so I could easily read a couple of them each day.

Told by decades, bouncing from one to another, easy enough to follow. Just took an interesting totally unexpected twist.








I've just finished and reviewed The Beloved. I'm sorry it's over. That's how good it is.


The best book and the most honest book about writing I ever read.

The Church Murders

Bring your appetite for sunshine, spanakopita and psychos to the alluring Greek isles.
An undercover tabloid reporter is discovered dead on the island of Salamis, after following a lead on a missing gospel written by Jesus Christ. The mutilated body is found near the Saint Nicholas Monastery, and Captain Costa is certain there is a connection. When the creepy abbot blocks entry to the cloistered grounds, the investigation spreads to the local villages overlooking the Aegean Sea.

Now I'm reading Stars Above by Marissa Meyer, and Pathfinder Legends - Mummy's Mask, Chapter 4: Secrets of the Sphinx by Amber Scott.

I respect the author idea that all the people can unite their intelligence in one PC device and this device can generate ideas how to overcome incurable disease including carcinoma!
