What are you reading this week of February 19, 2017? [View all]
Have a happy Presidents' Day, remembering the good ones.
Still reading McDermid's Splinter the Silence which is quite intriguing: "a timely and disturbing look at the way the anonymity of the internet enables abuse." This is the 9th in the Tony Hill & Carol Jordan series. I have only read one of the earlier books and that was enough to fall right in with the characters in this one. McDermid does a good job filling the reader in with background without going into long descriptions. IOW, it stands well on its own.
Listening to Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, which I must say is one of the best audio books I've ever heard. There are 6 readers and the main character sounds so much like Jane Leeves, Daphne from Frasier, that I had to double check that it wasn't her. Then her voice gradually changes as she gets older and wiser. When I listen to books on CD I always play one disc a day. At the end of this fist disc I absolutely had to listen to the next. They almost all end with a cliff-hanger and it's tempting to just listen to the entire story in one sitting. But that would take about 15 hours and I do have other things to attend to. So, I did 2 discs a day. This is a romance of sorts although it is not a romance novel. Some of it is LOL funny. Mostly it is about people with disabilities and things they must deal with every day. Gives you a lot to think about.
Any good ones on your reading list this week?
