From my postings, it would appear that I have not been reading, yet, often, appearances are deceiving! I have been reading...just a few too many books at one time, thereby completing too few.
Today, on the first day of spring...and the first day of Spring Break, I completed #8 for 2017 and, hopefully, the first of several partially read books...and, here, I will offer a few thoughts on my previous three reads:
- The Devil's Grin (Sherlock) by Annelie Wendeberg - ebook - Jan. 29: This mystery I enjoyed, especially the merging of historical character Sherlock Holmes. Very interesting. We have enjoyed the fairly recent Sherlock Holmes movies and the television series Elementary; thus, this continued my journey into meeting the famous (or would that be infamous?) Sherlock Holmes. Main character Dr. Anton...aka a female in disguise as a male doctor...crosses paths with Sherlock and together they work to, of course, solve the current crime. The first in a series of four, this is a series I would continue...as time allows, of course.
- Sweet Olive by Judy Christie - ebook - Feb. 3: This one was Women's Bible Cafe's February read...and was one I purchased on Kindle (maybe in hopes to curtail my growing stacks of novels?) Main character Camille struggles to reach her uncle's goal of obtaining rights to land as she begins to know the inhabitants of this Louisiana community, one full of artists and works of art. This one, too, is part of a series, the first of two; the second, of which, I have already purchased on Kindle. Of course.
- The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton - Mar. 20: This was the March read for the Paper Chase Book Club, one I had read some time ago, one I enjoyed again for its many intertwining plots which revolve around the arrival of an unattended four-year-old by boat. Spanning a hundred years, the reasons and secrets behind this little girl Nell unfold as the reader travels back and forth and through the thoughts of various characters.
Now, to complete another book I have begun...:)
