Finished Barbara Venkataraman Jamie Quinn Mystery Collection 1-3.  Never read 3 books in a series in one book before all at once, but it was quick reading and I liked the characters.

 

Going to read Russel Lazega's Finding Bubbie (nf) next which was a Library Thing win.

I'm reading Paris For One and Other Stories by Jojo Moyes.  She has become one of my favorite authors.

I already posted that I had finished SMALL GREAT THINGS by Jodi Piccoult.  You can go back and read that post if you want. She is one of my very favorite authors and always has a reason for her stories. This one could be difficult for some to read but I enjoyed it!

LET'S EXPLORE DIABETES WITH OWLS ESSAYS, ETC. - David Sedaris.  Short stories about everyday life & experiences that will keep you laughing non-stop.  Sedaris is wickedly funny.  He's one of my favorites. (NF)

 

GIRL FROM THE GARDEN - Parnaz Foroutan

A story of a Jewish family in an Iranian town and the marriage of a couple that has no heirs due to the wife being barren.  The author draws from his own life's experiences to weave suspense in this beautifully written saga. (F)

I'm reading DODGERS by Bill Beverly.  It started off slow but is picking up steam.

 

I loved ORDINARY GRACE.

Our book club just discussed ORDINARY GRACE by William Kent Krueger.  We all agreed that it was one of the best books we have read in a while.  I have already ordered another of his.  I would describe it as a coming of age mystery.  Takes place in 1961.


@pachutabelle I totally agree with you!! I think this book was recommended on this site, or maybe I found it and recommended it. I can't remember the sequence of events, but the fact remains that this is one of my all-time favorite books. I couldn't put it down for two seconds until I was finished.

 

It's surprising that I never read any of his other books. I guess because they're a series and I really don't like getting involved in series when I feel compelled to read all of them. But I know I should!


Thanks to this site, I started with Ordinary Grace and am now on his 11th (Northwest Angle) installment in the Cork O'Connell series.  Such good books; and I so appreciate the introduction by this groupe!

Re: What are you Reading? NOVEMBER 2016

My Michael Connelly hold came in-The Wrong Side of Goodbye. Is it worth reading? It's been a long time since I put my request in and I don't know if I still want to read it?
