A Great Read – Darius the Great is Not Okay

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

I just finished reading Darius the Great is Not Okay, by Adib Khorram. A great showcase of Persian culture, family relationships, and depression, this YA book would definitely be on my recommended reads. The descriptions of the buildings and historic sites in Iran, Persian cuisine, and tea are rich and fascinating. As a teen living in a dual-culture home suffering from mental illness, the relationships are often fraught as Darius tries to find his way in the world.

Feast on A Banquet of Consequences

/ 3 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

A Banquet of Consequences is book #19 in Elizabeth George’s Inspector Lynley series. I have read a few other books in this series and they are always full of interesting characters with complex backstories, and a good murder you can really dig into. Though they are police procedurals, there is a lot of information given about the characters before the murder, similar to an Agatha Christie like Death on the Nile. You don’t really hear a lot from the police detectives to start with. In a lot of police procedurals you only view the crime through the eyes of the investigator, but that is not the way the Inspector Lynley books are written.

Get Swept Away by Fallen

/ 3 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

Fallen, by Linda Castillo is book #13 in the Kate Burkholder series. I always enjoy these mysteries with a little taste of Amish country, with tidbits about their culture and phrases of Pennsylvania Dutch sprinkled throughout. Kate does a good job of tracking down the killers with her special combination of brains, compassion, and respect for the community that she chose not to be a part of, instead pursuing a career in law enforcement. Her significant other, John Tomasetti work well together. I enjoy a book where the woman and the man are on equal footing and don’t have a lot of conflict or competitiveness over cases. (Though, of course, I also enjoy books where there is some conflict between the couple as well. Since all couples have conflict of some kind.)

It’s Camp Nanowrimo Time Again

National Novel Writing month comes only once a year, but you can always join Camp Nano in April and July too. If November is not good for you (the month before Christmas… some people are rather busy) or if you want to write several books during the year, then it’s a great way to connect with other likeminded writers and join in the camaraderie.

In this case, he is searching for the Duke’s stolen painting, which is the key to a much larger mystery. Lenox has to unravel the various half-truths and hints to figure out what is really going on, since the Duke doesn’t actually seem interested in recovering the paining.
