Thanks for the ...Gideon the Ninth sounds fantastic! Thanks for the recommendation. I just finished “Two skies before night” by author Robert Gryn (http://www.robertgrynbooks.com/) I think that anyone who loves a good sci-fi/dystopian read will enjoy this book. I can also say that if you love a good murder mystery you will enjoy reading this. It has a little something for everyone. You get lost in their world and when I finished it I felt like I was in a daze, hahaha… “Where am I?” The city is divided into the very rich who live in the “Above” and the poor who live in the “Below.” When a double murder involves a man from the above and a woman from the below Detective Lang knows he has a tricky case ahead of him. I really hope you will check it out!

Because I can never just read one book, I've been sneaking peeks at Hallie's and Rhys's new books, with the result of being about have way through each. They are both first-rate and exceedingly hard to put down!<br /><br />After that, I have Lisa Lutz's The Swallows and SJ Rozan's The Paper Son on my TBR pile. I've taken smaller sneak peeks at those and they're both starting off very interesting. So many books, so little free time!MaryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10410779359733661454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-424494793744159122019-08-30T18:23:40.250-04:002019-08-30T18:23:40.250-04:00Just finished THE LONG CALL by Ann Cleeves.

And, you wonderful Jungle Red authors have made reading so thrilling this year (and every year). Lucy's, Hallie's, Hank's, and Rhys' books have brought me outstanding stories written brilliantly. I've been saving Debs' book for September, and, guess what? September is right here. Yay! And, Jenn, I am finally starting your Library Lover's Mystery series, with Books Can Be Deceiving sitting in my short stack of TBR reads. I will go ahead and say that Julia's book makes a perfect year, even though it's not out until next year, because the comfort of knowing it is coming is so exciting. <br /><br />I recently finished Maddie Day's/Edith's Strangled Eggs and Ham, and I loved it, not just because it has my mother's recipe for jam cake in it. I'm currently reading Someone We Know by Shari Lapena, and it promises to be deliciously creepy and getting creepier. Shari reminds me of another author I've found this year that I am so happy to have found. Lisa Jewel is one of my new favorite authors. Watching You by Lisa was sooooooo good, and I can hardly wait for The Family Upstairs this fall. Oh, I recently finished Jamie Mason's The Hidden Things, and I love it, too. I still need to write a review for this unique story. My must-read catching up includes Kristi Belcamino's Night Fall, Steve Cavanagh's Thirteen, Ovida Yu's Meddling and Murder (her latest Aunty Lee book), Clare Mackintosh's After the End, and always more. For those of us who are addicted to British mystery/crime, I got the chance to start Lesley Thomson's Detective Daughter's series, with the first one being The Detective Daughter. I can't wait to continue this series, with the most recent one being The Playground Murders. Lesley sent me a signed hardback copy of The Playground Murders. I met her at Bouchercon in St. Pete (she came over the pond with Elly Griffiths/Domenica De Rosa, whom I adore), and Lesley is so much fun, and now I know what a brilliant writer she is, too. Oh, I have Laura Lippman's Lady in the Lake waiting for me, and I have to read Sajata Massey's The Satapur Moonstone soon. The first in this new series by Sajata was a great read.<br /><br />This fall is going to continue my great reading year, with one amazing book after another. I've already mentioned Debs' A Bitter Feast, a book that I can't wait to tear into after the holiday weekend is over and our guest that we are having next week has gone. It's my treat I've been saving. I'm going to count Louise Penny's book as a fall read, since I won't be reading it until September, and I'm sure A Better Man is going to be as wonderful as all the other Inspector Gamache books have been. I have an ARC of Catriona McPherson's Strangers at the Gate, coming out in October, but I'll probably make it a September read, too. Of course, Ann Cleeves' new series book, The Long Call, is on my fall list. Edith Maxwell has a new Quaker Midwife book out in September, Judge Thee Not. Ann Patchett has a new one out in September, too, entitled The Dutch House. Tess Gerritsen will finally have a new one out, in October, The Shape of Night. Elly Griffiths' new Stephens and Mephisto, Now You See Them, is out in October. In November, I'm looking forward to Poppy Redfern and the Midnight Murders by Tessa Arlen. In December, there will be a new Agatha Raisin by M.C. Beaton, Beating About the Bush (#30) and a new Erica Donato mystery, Brooklyn Legacies, by our own Triss Stein here. And, there will be many more I want to read, new books and old. So impossible to keep up.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-13124321566249119042019-08-30T15:49:22.888-04:002019-08-30T15:49:22.888-04:00Cool, Mark!

I have three different piles - My Kindle, my oversized footstool and one shelf of my glass cabinet. I need to get over the idea that the Kindle pile is temporary, that they will all disappear one day. <br /><br />While wandering my local bookstore I found The Prague Sonata by Bradford Morrow on the employee suggestion shelf. "Music and war, war and music...the search for missing parts of sonata from the Second World War. I haven't started it yet but it was too intriguing to pass. There is Julia Keller's Bone on Bone, Louise Penny's Kingdom of the Blind, Inherit the Wool by Betty Hechtman, P.J. Tracy's Nothing Stays Buried....the list goes on.... The list from my Kindle is currently hidden because Kindle is multi-tasking - I read and respond to the blogger here. I have an extended Labor Day weekend so I plan on reading and crocheting for the next five days to my heart's content.Deana Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093854261937772980noreply@blogger.com
