MAY READS
https://www.goodreads.com/book/popular_by_date/2016/May
I'm starting the month with a new Tami Hoag titled THE BITTER SEASON.
Also picked up an intriguing little book, THE TRUTH ABOUT DEATH by Robert Hellanga. It's a collection of cleverly addressed stories touched with warmth, humor and deep feeling, accepting the fact that death and grief are part of the natural order of things.
What are you reading??

Thanks for the reading list. so happy to discover a new book by John Hart, it's been 5 years since his last. He does such a good job writing characters who are damaged and/or flawed....believable dysfunctional families.

I'm starting off the month with "What She Knew" a first novel by Gilly MacMillan. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WR12MEC/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?... It is on the USA Today Best Seller List and only $1.99 from Amazon. So far the story is living up to rave reviews as the angst of a missing child keeps me swiping the pages (I guess that what it's called on an E-Reader). I have to pick out a couple of books-on-disk for my journey back to Kentucky this week. Time to leave Florida with temps in low to mid 90s. Sometimes The Sunshine State had more sunshine that I want.

I just exchanged for "Master of the Game" by Sydney Sheldon and "Forever Odd" by Dean Koontz from the community book exchange exchange. Can be fussy when just about everybody left for home a month ago and got the pick of the book-on-discs. These should last me the entire 18 drive home which I plan on doing in two days. Now, how do you get out of the South without going through Atlanta? Actually, I go about 60 miles out of my way and make the trip through South Carolina. I've had my share of taking 4 hours to battle the traffic in Atlanta's expressway system that's virtually at a standstill most of the time.

Not getting a lot of reading done - too much yard work and when I start to read at night - fall asleep. Just finished Rock with Wings by Anne Hillerman. Had not read her but loved her father's books. Was not disappointed will continue to follow her. Also read Never Tell by Alafair Burke- another one I will follow. Reading an older book - Conviction by Richard North Patterson that I somehow missed in the past. Hope you are not in the areas of the great rains. Our rain is almost daily showers and boy are we producing a massive crop of weeds hereabouts. Glad to hear from this group - you have provided great books to be read.

I posted this in error to the April reads. I must be living in the past.
Well, rapa, for what it's worth, I'm here. But then, I never go far.
As I mentioned in my last post, I am reading, and nearing the end of, The Crossing, an excellent Harry Bosch novel by one of my all time favorites, Michael Connelly. This is the latest book in the Bosch series and I am curious about where they might go in the future. Or if there is a future. That is because Bosch is now retired from the LAPD and is assisting his half brother, the Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller. Bosch is quite uncomfortable doing this, because as a homicide cop for so many years putting murderers in the slammer, Haller is a defense attorney who defends them. And now Bosch is helping his half brother get a guy off, who everyone thinks is a brutal killer. So all that makes me wonder where Connelly is going to take the Harry Bosch series or, God forbid, end it.
A day after picking The Crossing up last week, I got a call from the library telling me that another of my "holds" was in. It is something called The Dig by John Preston. I don't know anything about it or the author, except for a short blurb on my library web site that recommended it. I'll be stopping by to pick it up in about an hour when I go for my walk. We old folks need our exercise.

Did you know that Amazon TV has two seasons of Harry Bosch filmed? According to the credits each season uses parts of the books for the plot line. I have read 8 of the books over the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Bosch

Am currently reading "The Silver Star" by Jeanette Walls for my f2f bookclub. Last month we read "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson, which was as informative as it was entertaining. Have read dozens on my Kindle, but don't keep a list of those. A recommendation for new books coming out: "Everyone Brave is Forgiven" by Chris Cleve.
Lovely story with historical info that I had not heard of before; i.e. WWII and British soldiers on Malta.

Our book club read A Walk in The Woods and then went to see the movie together . In my other book club we just read Bill Brysons book A Summer in America 1927- very interesting.

In the mid '50s I trained on the ward where Henrietta had been hospitalized. Please tell me that Oprah is not portraying Henrietta!!!!! Mercy!!!!

I think you are in luck- the article says Oparh is playing her daughter Deborah- who perhaps is the narrator.
