I'm re-reading Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee! I really did not care for it the first time around

"Life is a Verb"

Sparkle · 09-20-2016, 09:35 PM

I'm having a *Postathon* tonight...

I read three books while on holiday in August -

The Mirror Thief by Martin Seay
It was good, but took some work to finish. It has multiple storylines and narrators intersecting over the space of a few centuries. Set in sixteenth century Venice, Italy, 1950s Venice Beach, CA and modern day at the Venetian in LV. The concept was interesting.

I also read Before the Fall by Noah Trawley - which was like watching a good HBO crime drama. Nicely tied up, intriguing, hyper-realistic mystery.

And then I finished off my week on Lake Huron with The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell, which I loved. It ticks a lot of boxes on my 'perfect book' list: epic scope and saga like scale, magical realism, twisty overlapping storylines, characters you can love (and hate,) and beautiful, clever prose that just makes you hope the story will somehow go on forever.

Last weekend I finished the book Mitchell published after The Bone Clocks, Slade House. The stories are connected and have a little character overlap but aren't part of a series. Slade House didn't entrance me like the Bone Clocks, but it was a good read.

Now I'm in a state of 'which book next' contemplation.

Hi Wrang1er what do you think of Judy Blume's books?
I think I own all of hers and have enjoyed each one.

Currently I am in easy to read books but interesting enough that I recall it whenever I pick it up to continue.....Vampire Apocalypse Book 1 kindle edition

I enjoyed Summer Sisters very much. My mother handed it off to me long ago. I hadn't read Judy Blume in ages. It was lovely to read her grown up stuff
