The Comfort of Strangers by Ian McEwan

[Pamela Su]

Currently reading Raising Steam (love my Terry Pratchett! Save the best for last) for SRC and Life Lessons for something else.

I'm losing steam for the Winter SRC. I made the mistake of leaving most of my least favorite genre books for last. :( So I don't feel like reading them anymore and keep reading other books.

Next time, I'll try to squish the unfavorites in between. Still, pretty happy with how far I got on my first SRC.

Yeah, learned my lesson! It's been a pretty dreary month too, so it adds to my laziness to read unappealing books. :D

We read that in my library book group last year. Good book, but pretty depressing!

Sabriel by Garth Nix

[Book Concierge]

The Sins of the Fathers by Lawrence Block – 5*****
A young woman is murdered; her roommate is found covered in her blood nearby. He’s arrested for the murder, and commits suicide in his jail cell. Case closed. But the girl’s father wants to know more; he wants to know how she came to this end. Ex-cop and unlicensed private investigator Matthew Scudder agrees to make inquiries. Block is a master of suspense, and he writes a tight novel. There is nary a word out of place or an extraneous phrase. What I really loved about the book was Scudder himself. I’ll definitely be reading more of this series.

I finished reading "Dying For Chocolate" and starting "A Pedigree To Die For"

Is there a reason why this thread never has the little red new link next to it? It's driving me crazy that it always opens to the first page rather than to the first new post.

Conquistadora by Esmeralda Santiago
Audiobook read by the author – 4****
This is a sweeping historic epic romance and adventure, focused on one strong woman who travels from Spain to Puerto Rico in 1844 when her new husband inherits a sugar plantation. While the book’s focus is on Ana, Santiago also took time to flesh out many of the other characters. The island, itself, is a character in the book – the geography and history of Puerto Rico are central to this story. At the end, Ana is only 39 years old. While I was completely satisfied with the novel, I was sorry to see it end. I hope there will be a sequel. Santiago does a marvelous job narrating the audio version of the book; her passion for the story comes through in her performance.

Made the decision to turn The World Is Bigger Now: An American Journalist's Release from Captivity in North Korea . . . A Remarkable Story of Faith, Family, and Forgiveness back into the library. I just could not get myself to attend to this book. However, it is one of my oldest on the TBR, so I will give it another go in the future when life settles down a bit.
