I'm jealous! I have A Brutal Telling on hold at the library, but it's not in yet. I've listened to the series on audio, Ralph Cosham's voice just flows over you with the accents and the French phrases. I'm not sure the books would be nearly as much fun for me to actually read - listening to Cosham I can almost bear Peter and don't mind if the motivations/murder methods get a little silly. I do like the interplay between Gamache and his staff, though.
I love it when you add books.
Hey Jeanne Marie,How goes it?Just started school this week and the body is exhausted but the mind is racing – overall it feels terrific to be back in the classroom.This summer my latest book was released – “Roam Italy: A Teacher and His Students Take the Ultimate Class Trip.” The book’s website is www.theclassroombook.com if you wanted to check things out.Possible tornado warnings in NJ this weekend so I best head for cover…---michael :)
I'm a wiccan so I try to stay away from Christian fiction. I live in homestead
Thanks! I actually just picked up Wicked Lovely from the library and am going to read it after I finish "3 Willows" by Anne Brashares!
Hey Jeanne,How goes it?Just been really fortunate in terms of meeting the right people at the right time in my life.---michael
Greetings!
I am in awe of your book shelf!
Hi JeanneMarie,Just dropping by to say "hello". Sorry I haven't had more time to spend here in Shelfari. Hope you've been reading some great books! Lisa UngerNew York Times bestselling author of DIE FOR YOU
The Wrong Kind of Blood was my fave so maybe this author isn't for you...that's why we are lucky to have so many choices. I am going to start a non-mystery The Lace Reader -- for a "group" read. Enjoy your books!
Yes, I've read some of Ross MacDonald's Lew Archer series & liked them. Adrian McKinty -- believe I have one of his here but haven't read yet, thanks for the positive feedback. Have you read Declan Hughes -- I like him, another Irish crime fiction writer. His 1st is The Color of Blood. Happy Reading!
Hi Jeanmarie, thanks for the friend add. I used to live in Hobe Sound not far from Stuart. I'm just trying to get back into reading after not being able to read much while I was taking care of my mother. I agree w/ you re: Ken Bruen -- love him. And, of course John D. MacDonald -- read the Travis McGhee (sp?) series way back & probably should re-visit. Happy Reading!
I forgot: sometimes I read two books at the same time, but I haven't one waiting for me in every room. You really have? It's peculiar, but nice!
I read none of them. But I'm going to read all of Bruen's work. I loved so much American Skin, and I look forward the sequel. There must be, I wrote the author, and he confirmed it. I'm curious about Charlie Huston, too, whom I never read. Is he really such a good read?
Jeannemarie: I love your avatar! What's the book on it?
My favourite Gaiman work is the Dream Hunters. The art mixed with amazing story - it made me fall in love. I just bought the Graveyard Book, so wish me luck! :D
Wow, is your husband an entomologist?Another thing: make sure you're the one who talks to your kids about certain subjects. The longer you put it off, the more likely it is they'll hear it from someone else, and they'll hear it wrooooooong :/ I believe this is one major problem as to why so many kids are effed up.I'm thinking of buying The Graveyard Book sometime. How would you compare it with his other novels, graphic including?
I'm going to be optimistic and say go for it. HBO has picked up the story for a TV series, so that might motivate Martin to pick up the pace a little.
Haha, wonderfully worded. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's contemplated about the interesting character of Satan and what his defiance of God really means. Trust Neil Gaiman to write something extraordinary about this kind of mythos, eh? Have you read his new novel, the Graveyard Book? It looks interesting! I'm eager to read it!It isn't really the censorship that's the bad idea - it's the blind censorship. The only reasons are that it's too dirty, too violent, too naughty - but what does that really MEAN? It just means someone else is thinking for you? Now...deciding not to let your 5-year-old watch Saving Private Ryan - probably a good idea. Those kinds of images could really scare a kid. But if you don't let your high schooler watch rated-R movies - what are you doing? Is it really worth trying to tell your kid that these sorts of people and events don't exist in the world, or that shutting them out makes them go away? There's a point where you have to let your kid free so he can make his own choices.
