It's been a while since I checked in -- and have to figure my way around the site again. Just finished Louise Penny's LONG WAY HOME -- would give it an "ok" - not as good as her past books, but I will stick with her because I know she will continue the saga. Also -- just finished (I guess this makes these August reads) THE INVENTION OF WINGS -- enjoyed it very much. Has anyone read THE SECRET KEEPER? Bought it -- but can't get into it.
Just downloaded "The Interestings" on my Kindle. There is a lot of buzz about this novel. http://www.amazon.com/The-Interestings-Novel-Meg-Wolitzer/dp/159448...
If you are a fan of his books, you will enjoy this one as well. A few different twists in this one and find that almost anything I say will be a "spoiler".
I'm reading another Noel Hynd novel, Truman's Spy, it's ok but not a page turner. A post WWII spy story.... Next up is, Gone But Not Forgotten.
I am waiting for the latest Jamie Langston Turner book "To See The Moon Again". It should be on my door step by Wed. of this week.
It came and it is good so I am enjoying it.
Sounds interesting Rapa... I'll have to look this one up!
I read, A Fighting Chance, by Elizabeth Warren last month. A well written book that most working folks can relate to. It will be interesting to follow this woman's actions over the coming months and years.
"The Heist" by Daniel Silva is ripped from today's headlines. There is no doubt in my mind that Silva is the best in the spy novel business right now. In his own terms he uses chiarosocuro, or a talent for delicate shading in his stories. His hero is a master art restorer, who doubles as a spy. In this latest novel, Grariel Allon is trying to foil the attempt by the Syrian ruling family and their cronies to convert their ill-gotten money into stolen paintings in case they need to exit the country into exile. The tension is great, as a complex plot is enacted to foil the activity. Fantastic read!
