Recently I've been re-reading books that were mandatory reading in school. I gobbled up To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee in two sittings. It really is one of those books that will stick with you through life's trials and tribulations. Also, Jean's review of the book was just as delightful as the book itself.

Hello. Just finished “the silent world of Nicolas Quinn”, the third in the inspector morse series. I really liked this book, so it’s a firm 3 stars from me. Looking forward to the 4th book in the series, which I will get to once I’ve finished “A study in Scarlet”. This is one I’ve never read before. I’m reading it on my kindle in the penguin complete Sherlock Holmes edition.

Undercover Colorado Conspiracy by Jodie Bailey, part of Harlequin's Love Inspired (Suspense) imprint, is a book I gave Barb for Christmas last year. Neither the book nor the imprint initially interested me very much; but nevertheless, we decided it was one we could read together, and we started a bit over a week ago. (I'd meant to post about it here earlier, but got sidetracked at the time!)

Later this month, I'm expecting to spend a few days in the area of Harrisonburg, Virginia, visiting family. On such trips, I usually spend some time in the public library there (long story!), during which I generally read intermittently in a short story collection, since the format is better suited than a novel or monograph for long hiatuses between spurts of reading on multiple visits, that may be spread over a couple of years. Here at home, I'm already intermittently reading a story anthology, but it's not one that library has.

However, both that library and the BU library here do have an omnibus edition of every Father Brown mystery that G.K. Chesterton ever wrote (albeit in different printings by different publishers, and with different editors). So, I've also begun intermittently reading The Father Brown Omnibus, which has long been on my to-read shelf. That will give me a head start, and let me continue the read for a bit after returning home.

Reading Hickory Dickory Death by Agatha Christie…
Anyone else read it? It’s a slow starter, for sure…
