Currently reading? Just finished? 2022




I finished reading No Country for Old Men this morning, and I've moved baking day from Thursday to today so that I can watch the film and not feel guilty. I am very much looking forward to the group read discussion of this novel. So good!!

I saw the movie years ago and loved it. I've also read the three books of Cormac McCarthy's The Border Trilogy: All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain, but I haven't yet read No Country for Old Men.
I've been considering adding it to this month's list, and I think you've tipped the balance, Nancy!




Recently finished this and was impressed enough to award it a rare (for me) 5 stars.

My favorite McCarthy novel so far is Blood Meridian, but I enjoy his work in general. My birthday wasn't that long ago and with gift certificate, I bought all of the McCarthy books I haven't yet read. His two new books coming out this fall I'd already preordered. He is a truly gifted writer.

An homage to the classic locked-room mysteries of the 1930's. Big fun, I liked it a lot. Mead didn't cheat but you won't figure it out. I think this is Mead's first book -- hope there are more coming. 4 stars.



An interesting but somewhat disjointed story. My 3.5 star review:

oh my gosh. Still reading Leave Her to Heaven and I really, REALLY dislike this woman. Good book though.



Author Mia P. Manansala improved with her sequel in the cosy with ethnic food mysteries.

In this series, professional philospher Isabel Dalhousie always applies ethics to the situations in her life, from dealing with a tricky investment banker to dealing with an invasive fox.
Interesting story. 3.5 stars
