Listening to The Sound of Broken Glass

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

Last week, I was listening to the audiobook for The Sound of Broken Glass, book 15 in the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James Novels series by Deborah Crombie. I think that I may have read a book or two in this series before, but I’m not sure. There is definitely enough backstory included in the book that you are not last as to what the people’s relationships and histories are. As with most mysteries or police procedurals, they are episodic and you can jump in and read one even if it isn’t the first in the series.

Reading The Princess Bride? Inconceivable!

/ 3 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

It has been a strange week for reading! I started with one book that I did not finish, went on to an audiobook that was produced like a radio play, and then a couple of other quickies, one a holiday (Christmas) special and the other: The Princess Bride. Usually I have one or two books to pick from, this time I had four. I listened to the audiobook of The Princess Bride, which is, unfortunately, abridged. I’ll have to read the full text another time. But that’s what I’ve got, so that’s what we’ll go with.

Meeting Old Friends in Midnight Sun

It’s hard to believe that it has been sixteen years since Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight hit the scene. On the other hand, it has been almost that long since I last read it, and there is a lot that I only have vague impressions of. When I saw Midnight Sun, a retelling of Twilight from Edward’s perspective at my library, I thought “why not?” I enjoyed Twilight (though not as much as The Host—I am far more interested in action/suspense than romance) and it’s always nice to have something added to the canon.

Bryan Stevenson’s quest for change in Just Mercy

/ 4 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

I have been fascinated with reading Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. It is full of amazing and heartbreaking stories of injustice, with lots of history about the changes in the law over the decades, statistics , and how these changes to the justice system have worked or not worked to the advantage of the poor, marginalized, and disadvantaged.

Chills and thrills in You Are Not Alone

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

I am currently reading You Are Not Alone, a psychological thriller by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Both have at least a couple of other books under their belts, and you can tell. You Are Not Alone is a slow-burn as Shay Miller finds herself pulled deeper and deeper into the plot of the Moore sisters. An innocent bystander, Shay has no idea what she is getting into or why the sisters are first befriending her and then… not. Definitely a page-turner.
