NOVEMBER READS

[rapa]

Hope y'all did your "RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT" this morning!  Hard to believe that it's November already!

I'm still reading Margaret Atwood's ALIAS GRACE and enjoying it!  The book is rather small print and 460 pages.  Am not sure I'll get through it this round.  Tomorrow am picking up three reserve books at library. Here's the order that I plan to read them:

1.  DEADLINE by Sandra Brown  http://www.amazon.com/Deadline-Sandra-Brown/dp/1455501514/ref=tmm_h...

2.  THE OCTOBER LIST by Jeffery Deaver  http://www.amazon.com/October-List-Jeffery-Deaver/dp/1455576646/ref...

3.  JUST ONE EVIL ACT by Elizabeth George http://www.amazon.com/Just-One-Evil-Act-Inspector/dp/0525952969/ref...

All three books are recently published and have a reserve list. Fortunately will have three weeks. The George book is quite long and the reviews haven't been exceptional.  The Deaver book also has not had good reviews but I do like him.  Have been to a couple evenings where he speaks and he's quite delightful!

With the holidays approaching hope everyone can find some time to escape into some good reads!

I am a big Deaver fan but I could not get thru this one.

I just finished Tell No Lies by Greg Hurwitz, which is his thirteenth thriller.  I am sure that I have read and enjoyed all of them.

If I havent' post this previously, be sure and try one of Jussi Adler-Olsen's mysteries, kind of police procedurals.  Really good, the Danish place names and people names are off-putting, but the stories are good.  I read "The Keeper of Lost Causes" which was the first in the series.  and I guess the first to be translated into English.  I have the other two on the good ole TBR stack!  Working my way through "Necessary LIes",(it's not an Adler-Olsen BTW) which I have found highly confusing so far, but it might make more sense later in the read.  

I thought of "rabbit, rabbit" at about noon time.

Thanks for the reminder.  I have read his two previous books and now have requested his third book.

I actually thought of "Rabbit, Rabbit" at 3:30 AM this morning...  then lay awake waiting for Jerry to wake up so I could hit him with it.  We are both usually up about 5 AM.  But I have been sleepy all day...  lol.

I just finished Ill Wind, my first by Nevada Barr this morning. I was just OK...  don't know if I'll read more of hers.  I sense that I should start with earlier ones because I couldn't sympathize with her alcoholic tendencies but I am jumping into the middle of the series with a middle aged ranger...

Started Lucky You by Carl Haiisan this morning and it is enjoyable so far.

Read that the new George book is mainly about Havers my favorite character!

Still reading CRYPTONOMICON by Neal Stephenson.  So good and long and complex, my kind of novel.

[Lip Service]

Neal Stephenson works are always well researched, this work is mostly based on real life events.

Not many people know who Alan Turing was but he was one of the main reasons why the allies won WWII. We also owe him a lot about the foundation of computer science. His reward for all that is that his country chemically castrated him and he ended up committing suicide because he was a homosexual at a time where this was not tolerated

Just finished the latest Jefferson Bass (the Body Farm dude), "Cut To The Bone". I enjoyed it as I always do that series  but this one was a little more violent than the previous ones. And it's set back in the early days of the main character's career.

I'm heading out Friday on a big trip so I'm loading up my Nook. Those ereaders are just the best for traveling! Slopok, our library is set to go online any day now with READS of TN. I know you use it quite a bit. I'm hoping it will be hooked up before I leave, even tho' I've got a ton of books already on my Nook that I've yet to read. Can't have too many books available when you're on a loooooong plane ride!

Enjoy that trip, tnbopeep!!!  Have fun and please let us know when you're safely home.  Godspeed!!!!

Last night I finished the new Sandra Brown novel DEADLINE.  Sandra is a local gal who writes very readable stand alone stories.  Even the guys would like this one as it deals with military PTSD as well as tying up a major old crime. Of course, it does get a bit racy at times but it's incidental. http://www.amazon.com/Deadline-Sandra-Brown/dp/1455501514/ref=sr_1_...
