This is just a thread where those of us who are avid (or not so much) readers can share what selections they have been reading. Also feel free to comment about others' reading choices or ask about book titles you might want to check into.
I'll start off...
Just finished:
The Pale Blue Eye: A Novel by Louis Bayard
Excellent historical fiction. Features a young Edgar Allan Poe during his days as a West Point cadet. Poe accompanies a retired NYC detective on an investigation of the grisly mutilation of an apparent cadet suicide. Plenty of twists and turns in this plot…it kept me guessing right up until the end. Bayard provides an interesting character study into one of my favourite authors.
Just bought today:
A Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison
Kim Harrison is my favourite new paranormal/fantasy author. This is the fourth installment in her Rachel Morgan series. Kim has created a totally believable world where "normal" people are now aware of their supernatural neighbours (vampires, witches, werewolves, etc…
thanks to a devastating virus that wiped out a large number of the human population. Rachel Morgan's (a witch) exploits as a bounty hunter with her vampire and pixie partners are suspenseful, sexy, and laugh-out-loud funny. I'll probably start and finish this one over the weekend.
