@walkingal thanks for mentioning the Rachel Joyce book. I didn't realize there was a companion book to Harold Fry.

I finished Harm Done, another Inspector Wexford. I can't say I was a fan of this book. It had too many characters, too many side plots, and a main plot that was fairly transparent. I hope the next one is better.

Now I'm reading Suspect (Robert Crais).

It looks like I am the odd woman out by not caring much for Grisham's latest: ROGUE LAWYER. It definitely struck me as the set-up for a continuing character.

Next up is THE MAN CALLED OVE. I have high hopes for this one.

Nope, you aren't the only one. I didn't like it much either. At first I thought it read like short stories and really didn't think it came together very well.

Just read a really good book which I think you'd all enjoy very much.
It is called This is your life, Harriet Chance by Jonathan Evison.
If you enjoyed A man called Ove, you will like this one too.
Highly recommend it.

@Lynneuk, thanks for the suggestion. I put This is your Life, Harriet Chance! on my reading list. I really like the way it sounds.

Today I finished Yellow Crocus by Laila Ibrahim. I enjoyed it very much, and it was a fairly quick read.

I decided to give One Year After by William Forstchen a second chance. I know I shouldn't read it because it's going to give me nightmares, just like his first book, One Minute After. I'll read it a while and if I see it's too scary, I'm going to pull the bookmark. I don't need to be terrified!

Happy reading, everyone!

@smoky22 I'm reading Suspect, too! So far so good. I don't read as fast as you, but I'm enjoying it lots.

I just finished Devil in the White City (about the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair and a serial killer on the loose at the same time) and Dead Wake (about the last voyage of the Lusitania), both true stories by Erik Larson. I also finished G is for Gumshoe by Sue Grafton. I am listening to The Hurricane Sisters on my NOOK and am reading The Witch of Lime Street: Seance, Seduction and Houdini in the Spirit World.on my NOOK, both from the local library.

I also just finished the book Front Runner by Felix Francis, a ****** Francis horse racing mystery.

I think it is so stupid that the boards automatically "star" the shortened name for Richard like it is pornographic.

katiescarlett, Love both of the Larson books you mentioned. I also enjoyed Thunderstruck about Marconi.

@Judaline and @Lilysmom when we finish Suspect we should start a separate post about it. I'm pretty sure others have read it. Someone on here recommended it (sorry, I can't remember who it was).
