CURRENTLY LISTENING TO -

1. "Tricky Twenty-Two" by Janet Evanovich (Stephanie Plum #22) (Audible)

The Healing of America by T R Reid. very interesting book about health care. Good info about various countries and their systems of health care and how they compare with the USA. It is sad that the US has developed into what it is today when there are so many better models available for less money.

Well, with the warm weather my reading will pick back up and I hope to be back on these boards more often!  I have to work on my TBR and thin my book pile at home.

I am reading "Sister of My Heart" and listening to "Invisible" by James Patterson.  I know I just said I am working on my TBR but I liked "Sister of My Herat" so much that I already ordered another book by the same author Arranged Marriage : Stories :: Chitra Divakaruni

Careless by Deborah Robertson, an Australian novel that begins 3 separate stories that eventually mesh together. Hard to get into at first because I didn't particularly like any of the characters, but it is coming together nicely. However, not a happy book so far, death is a main component, hoping how to deal with life after a close one dies will be coming.

Finished:  Flamingo Diner by Sherryl Woods --- Emma killian left Winter Cove, FL to get away from small-town life and moved to Washington, DC where she has a great job, a good friend and no social life.  When she receives word that her father has died, she knows she has to go back and help her mother and brothers cope with the death and help run the Flamingo Diner, her family's diner.  She begins to suspect the death wasn't an accident and turns to her childhood friend, Matt Atkins, now the chief of police in Winter Cove. A well written story about a family coping with suicide.

Help the Poor Struggler by Martha Grimes -- Richard Jury, from New Scotland Yard, is called in to help with the investigation in the murder of three children, seemingly unrelated, until he begins to find some clues that tie them together.  And there may be another young girl in danger. As always, Grimes can write a story that keeps the reader turning the pages.  This may be an older series, but they don't get any better.

A Dilly of a Death by Susan Wittig Albert --- It time for the Picklefest in Pecan Springs, TX, but the Pickle Queen, Phoebe Morgan, owner of Morgan's Pickle factory, can't be found and the Pretty Pickle Planners committee, of which China Bayles and her friend, Ruby, are members are in a quandry as to how to proceed.  Always a fun read.

The Charlemagne Pursuit by Steve Barry --- A very involved story [as are all of Berry's books] with a lot of characters and sub-plots & twists and turns.  Cotton Malone is drawn into a search for an ancient civilization, the hunt for a sunken submarine that his father was captain of which was never found and a naval officer who will do anything to be named to the Joint Chief of Staff office, including murder. Definitely a page-turner.

Antiques to Die For by Jane K. Cleland --- Antiques appraiser/dealer Josie Prescott's friend has been found murdered and the younger sister, Paige, knows something that may have led to her death.  When Josie tries to help she finds herself the target of a stalker and possible the killer. Fun series.

High Tide by Jude Deveraux--- Fiona Burkenhalter is a high-powered New York exec. who works for a toy company.  When she is sent to Florida to go fishing with a potential client, things don't make sense and they go from bad to worse.  Ace Montgomery owns a bird sanctuary in Florida that needs financial help and when Fiona's client ends up dead, both she and Ace are presumed to be the killers. 

Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich--- Stephanie Plum, Morelli and Ranger, plus a host of others, are searching for a man impersonating Ranger who has kidnapped Ranger's daughter.  Of course, there are a lot of other 'skips' to be caught along with Grandma Mauser, Lula and the usual cast getting into trouble.

Delectable Mountains by Earlene Fowler --- Benni Harper and her grandma, Dove, have been asked to take over leading the children's play at church.  When Benni discovers the body of the church custodian, she becomes involved in another investigation, this one leading to unforeseen consequences.

The Killing Hour by Lisa Gardner --- Kimberly Quincy has always wanted to be an FBI agent like her father, especially after her sister and mother were murdered and she almost died. While at Quantico training she stumbles across a dead young woman and that leads her to team up with Mac McCromack,a Georgia SBI agent whose been hunting this killer for years. A taut, fast-paced thriller that keeps the reader guessing until the last chapter.

Canapes for the Kitties by Mirian Babson --- Several mystery writers have purchased homes in Brimful Coffers but all is not as it seems, either with the colony or with some of the writers. Then some of the writers start having strange things happen and it all deals with their fictional characters.  Babson writes a fun read. Have several more of her books in my TBR pile.

Shattered Secrets by Karen Harper --- First in the Cold Creek trilogy, Tess Lockwood comes back to Cold Creek to sell her mother's house [left to Tess after her mother died] and also the place where Tess had been abducted as a child. When 2 other girls go missing, Tess teams up with the local sheriff to try to find them since they seem to be connected to her abduction. Well plotted and written, looking forward to getting the other 2 in the series.

Currently reading:  Magic Hour by Susan Isaacs

Up next:  Quicksand by Iris Johansen

The Story of a New Name by Elena Ferrante.  Book 2 in her Neapolitan Novels.  Our real-life book club is reading it. I wasn't wild about the first, (it was OK) but I am assurred that the second one is even better.

  Under the Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan.  I enjoyed Loving Frank by Horan, so I'm giving this a try.  Robert Louis Stevenson and his time with an American artist during interesting times.

Oh, and Dangerous Women, Vol.3, edited by George R. R. Martin et al.. Short stories by a variety of fantasy and sci fi authors with strong female characters.  There is also Vols 1 & 2.

Reading:

White Palace by Glenn Savan.  Living in St Louis & remembering as a college student when it was filmed in town for the movie.  Just getting started & hope it is a fun read.

Crunchy Cons by Rod Dreher.  Book about not your typical conservatives.  Since primary season kind of sucks, good read so far--really see myself on this side of conservative stuff than on what is remaining with candidates. 

Finished:

NYPD Red 3 by James Patterson & Marshall Karp.  Good quick read.  Whole thing is far fetched but as a suspend reality & just enjoy a quick page turning action adventure this book & series work.

Drone by Mike Maden.  action adventure story, is okay.  Start of a series so will probably continue to see how it goes.

The Position by Meg Wolitzer.  1970's middle age couple with 4 children writes sex book.  Jump ahead 20 some years and connect the time between.  Okay book, just really couldn't get into it much, oh well.

The Punch by John Feinstein.  About Kermit Washington hitting Rudy T, in '76 or '77 I think, in NBA fight during game.  Interesting stuff.

Old Man's War by John Scalzi.  Sci-Fi about older people joining a human army & going through changes to be younger & more developed body to fight aliens in outer space.  Very good, really enjoyed this one.

The Round House by Louise Erdrich.  She was once my favorite author, and I reread her books numerous times.  But a couple of her books left me flat.  I stopped reading her.  Then this...oh, I am enjoying it very much.  And I see where there are still mentions of old characters, and references to a couple of the books and characters I didn't care for.  Then I read where she has again rewritten and rereleased some of her titles ( She did this many years ago with her first book, Love Medicine).  Hmmm, some of those that I hadn't liked...

Palisades Park by Alan Brennert

Good Graces - Whistling in the Dark Series by Lesley Kagen. The sequel to Whistling in the Dark, a female coming of age mystery.  Read by the author who is an awesome narrator!

Raylan by Elmore Leonard and narrated wonderfully by Brian D'Arcy James.  Lots of the characters from the show, but a story not played out in the series.

Land of a Hundred Wonders by Lesley Kagen.  Written in the voice of a brain damaged woman, and a bit convoluted for reading before sleep.  I put this aside, though I absolutely love this author.

Tomorrow River by Lesley Kagen.  So far, so good.  As good as Whistling in the Dark.

The Punch by John Feinstein.

another book by Feinstein you might like if you haven't already read it is A Civil War. He got permision to follow the two service academies through one football season leading up to the final game of the year when they play each other. Army/Navy. Very good book. I notice on amazon the book is still in print even though it is an old book.

The Whiteness of the Whale: A Novel : David Poyer     

I absolutely loved this book.  A mystery/thriller/suspense genre and action and adventure.  

An action-packed sea adventure of men, women, and whales by master thriller writer David Poyer. In The Whiteness of the Whale, a disgraced primate behaviorist from Nantucket, Dr. Sara Pollard, joins six other activists to sail a round-the-world racing yacht into Antarctic waters. There, they plan to shadow, embarrass, and expose the Japanese whaling fleet, which continues to kill and process whales though no one eats the meat anymore. But every crewmember of Black Anemone has a secret or something to live down. They?ll be tested by the seas and storms of the Antarctic, hostile whalers, and romantic conflicts . . . and fight for their lives when they encounter a sperm whale with a murderous agenda of its own.

Filled with dramatic scenes, life-or-death decisions, and magical evocations of whales in the last remote waters on Earth, The Whiteness of the Whale is a suspenseful, thought-provoking novel. 

@Bonnie S- I have "Good Graces" on my TBR, I loved "Whistling", make have to make that next up.

I finished "Invisible" and started "Life Boat" on audio.  I also took two boxes of books to Goodwill yesterday, too mant books, so little time....

Just finished All Things Cease To Appear by Elizabeth Brundage recently released with great reviews. I am not one of them. Disliked the main character from the start and that only increased as the book went along. In fairness I'm sure that was author's intent. And the ending for the daughter was too preposterous to believe.

almost finished The Expats by Chris Pavone and am loving it. Very fast paced, full of clues, some red herrings. Won the Edgar Award, impressive for a first novel.

@meg.  Good to see you back and reading and listening.  Missed your posts.

You must do Good Graces soon!  Is it print or audio?  Kagen is an amazing narrator.  Just got two more of hers from the library, but they are in print.

I just read what is out of The Haunted Guesthouse series by E. J. Copperman. They were all very good. They were cozy mysteries with ghosts. Today I have started on the first Aunt Dimity book, Aunt Dimity's Death by Nancy Atherton. So far, it is really interesting!

Just finished "The Mark Hellinger Story"  by: Jim Bishop.  Mark Hellinger was an entertainment columnist on Broadway in the 1920's and '30's.  He also produced movies in Hollywood in the 1940's.

I am currently reading "The Orphan Train"  by: Christina Baker Kline for my book club

Next up is the newest "Murder, She Wrote - Design for Murder"  by: Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain, and Renee Paley-Bain

Just read page 244 where a twist (THE twist?) made me want to throw the book across the room. I will finish it, but I am very disappointed, and annoyed.

My Racing Heart: The Passionate World of Thoroughbreds and the Track by Nan Mooney. I have only read the first chapter but I'm enjoying it so far.

A Train In Winter by Caroline Moorehead - I skimmed over alot in the first third. Some of the politics of the French Resistance was too complex. Lots of French and Russion  I couldn't understand. Also I skimmed over alot of the French names and places ;(.

It got more interesting for me as the women in the French Resistance faced the dangers of capture. I'm almost done and I do recommend for those who like historical non fiction about the Second WW.

I finished a train in winter. 4 and half stars at least. despite the the negatives i listed above, was  compelling. Author updated what she could about all of the women , those who lived and those who didn't. I do recommend if you can stomache it. Not a book to read if you are depressed.

now reading: Love the ONe YOu're with by Emily Giffin. Need something lighter after A Train in Winter.
