Books

Here's what I'm reading right now . . .

The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood
Knit the Season by Kate Jacobs (Friday Night Knitting Club and Knit Two).
Mystery Book by unnamed author where the conflict doesn't appear until Page 141!

Yes, I'm reading three books at the same time. I'm a serious multi-tasker!!


Here's what should arrive in the mail this week . . .

Shadowrise: Volume Three of Shadowmarch by Tad Williams. This is Epic Fantasy. Now, as most people know, Epic Fantasy barely exists anymore. Tad Williams is one of the few authors that dares to write Epic Fantasy . . . and does a fantastic job. I love his stuff, whether it is a stand alone novel (The War of the Flowers), a novella (Caliban's Hour), or one of his many series.


Here's what should arrive on my Kindle next week . . .

Arcadia Falls by Carol Goodman. Her books are always a joy to read because she interweaves two stories, past and present, in every book. Oh, and they're mysteries to boot. My favorite of all time is The Ghost Orchid. Fantastic book. Her books, in order of appearance . . . The Lake of Dead Languages, The Seduction of Water, The Drowning Tree, The Ghost Orchid, The Sonnet Lover, and The Night Villa. In each novel she explores the present, and ties in the past, which ties in to the mystery of the present.

So, what are you reading right now or in the near future??
