Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments I do love Sebastian Barry's prose so I find it hard to limit the quotes, hence the rather long review (not sorry!). I loved this sequel to Days Without End , A Thousand Moons 5★s worth.

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments Peace Like a River by Leif Enger appealed to me on every level. I've got a soft spot for a child's point of view, and when there's humour and terror and adventure and tragedy and romance all mixed with a hint of magic, what more could I want?
Peace Like a River by Leif Enger 5★ My 'Peace Like a River' review

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments I do look forward to a regular dose of Tempe Brennan and her cohorts (starting to like Skinny Slidell quite a bit), and while the 19th installment, A Conspiracy of Bones by Kathy Reichs is well-filleted, there is still plenty to intrigue.
