I intended to start the latest Marcia Clark book today or tomorrow, but opened it last night. "One chapter, Deb; just read one chapter." Well, twenty-two chapters later I decided that I really needed to get some sleep the night before even minor surgery, so I forced myself to put it down. As soon as I hit Publish on this response, the book is coming out again!<br /><br />DebRo Deb Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01650858888197217258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-91471279937118011962017-09-18T15:58:18.052-04:002017-09-18T15:58:18.052-04:00I am devastated. I have typed two long responses ...I am devastated. I have typed two long responses out and lost both of them. You would think I'd learn by the second time to copy and save somewhere, but I didn't. So, I can't do another long post. Here are just a few major points from my two previous posts, which I so enjoyed writing, because there's nothing I enjoy more than talking about what others are reading and what I am.<br /><br />We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves is one of the best books I've read. I selected it for my "Throw-Back Thursday:Great Reading from My Past" book on my July 6th reading room feature. It is to be a television series starring Natalie Portman. Can't wait! http://www.readingroom-readmore.com/2017/07/throw-back-thursday-great-reading-from.html<br /><br />I love Scottish authors and settings, so I'm desperately trying to fit in Anne Cleeve's series. I love Peter May's The Lewis Trilogy and can never get enough of Catriona McPherson and her writing. Hallie, Sara Blaedel's Louise Rick series is one of my favorites, and The Lost Woman is an amazing read. <br /><br />My September reading has included the following awesome reads: The Bloodcard by Elly Griffiths, House.Tree.Person. by Catriona McPherson, Murder in Shadow (Acton and Doyle) by Anne Cleeland, Glass Houses by Louise Penny, and Gia in the City of the Dead by Kristi Belcamino (out tomorrow). I picked up Vicki Delany's first Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mysery--Elementary, She Read--last night to read before I read my next ARC for review, which will be Before It's Too Late (an F.B.I. K-9 novel) by Sara Driscoll (aka, Jen J. Danna and Ann Vanderlaan). I will also be reading soon Dead Woman Walking by Sharon Bolton, Love and Other Consolation Prizes by Jamie Ford (will see him next week), Under a Pole by Stef Penny, One of Us Is Lying by Karen McManus (YA), an ARC for The Deep Dark Descending by Allen Eskins, and The Wildling Sisters by Eve Chase (author of Blackrabbit Hall, my surprise delight read for 2017, although published in 2016). <br /><br />Two notes on above to-be-reads. Jamie Ford's Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet looks like it will indeed be a movie. George Takei is now the Executive Producer. Stef Penny is a brilliant author who doesn't produce a book but every few years or so, but I wish everyone would read her. Her first book, The Tenderness of Wolves, is a winner of Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year (2008), and her second novel, The Invisible Ones deals with the Gypsies in England and is outstanding.

There is a fair amount of product placement, and far too much alcohol consumption from the hard boiled detective sub genre. The ending of Book 1 of the new series took me completely by surprise. This series reminds me of yours. Clark is good. you are better. <br />Coralee Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691335135691119400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-539220962571705102017-09-18T14:58:50.871-04:002017-09-18T14:58:50.871-04:00Ingrid, Sophie Hannah certainly has a way with wor...Ingrid, Sophie Hannah certainly has a way with words and I often find her descriptions mesmerizing and achingly lovely.
