What are you reading this week of March 27, 2016?

[hermetic]

I went to the library only to discover the Hilerman book I had planned to read had just been checked out by someone else. So, I'll have to wait on that. I didn't bring a plan B on my list so I relied on my memory to find After Dark by Haruki Murakami. Right next to that on the shelf I saw Alice Munro's Runaway. Ever since she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature for her work as master of the contemporary short story, I've wanted to read her. She's the first Canadian—as well as the 13th woman—to be named the Nobel literature laureate. So I figured she would be worth reading. She is.

Watched Hillerman's Skinwalkers. Loved it.

Listening to Preston/Child's Impact and not really getting into it. I think I'll just skip ahead to the last CD to see how it ends. Not giving up on the authors, though. I will read/listen to other works.

Just as an aside, my library now has the DVDs of Sherlock with B Cumberbatch. I am totally loving that. Any bunny reading something good this week?

1. "The Distant Echo," Val McDermid

[hermetic]

2. Good?

I see several McDermid's at my library.

4. Pretty good, so far

I've read some of her other books. This one is all right. "A Place of Execution" was really dark and shocking. Most of her books are like that.

3. Any bunny- you are so, soooo bad. That's really good.

Still reading J. Kellerman's Blood Test This has been a very full week so maybe I'll get some reading done this coming week. Thanks for the thread.

[hermetic]

7. Yeah...I try

Thank you.

[Enthusiast]

5. Hello everyone! Happy Easter or bunny day if you wish. Thank you for the thread hermetic!

I am nearly finished with Runaway by Peter May. I'm wondering what will happen next! I'm not certain of a next book yet.

Mrs. Enthusiast read The Killer Next Door by Alex Marwood. She says there are some very bad people in this book. But she was really involved anyway.

Next she read Death At La Fenice by Donna Leon. She really liked this one. I had forgotten who it was that recommended the books by Donna Leon. I checked back into the previous threads and found that it was scarletwoman. So thank you for the recommendation, scarletwoman. I'll be reading it too, of course.

Now Mrs. Enthusiast is reading At the Edge of the Orchard by Tracy Chevalier.

8. How funny

that we're both reading Runaway, but by different authors.

I really liked the Donna Leon book I just read but it was the only one at my library. I will have to keep an eye out at used book stores for more of hers. Scarletwoman always gives us good recs. A toast to her...

[Enthusiast]

10. I thought the same thing about Runaway. How strange is that.

We do value the scarletwoman recommendations.

6. Pamela Smith Hill's The Annotated Autobiography of

Laura Ingalls Wilder - Pioneer Girl from which The Little House in the Big Woods, The Little House on the Prairie and others came from.

[hermetic]

9. Many years ago

I spent the night in a B&B that was supposedly a house Laura lived in. It was quaint and very memorable.

11. Started "Tyrannosaur Canyon" by Douglas Preston

I'm only about 80 pages in, but so far it's another page-turner. This seems to be the introduction of the Wyman Ford character.

[Enthusiast]

13. Hey, Number9Dream! That is a good one!

I like that Wyman Ford Character. I think this one would make a great movie if the right people did it.

12. I'm late, I'm late...Love the bunny, hermetic and thanks for the thread.

I finished reading Kim Zupan's book, The Ploughmen and highly recommend it. If I were reading it again, I would keep a list of all the words I didn't know--those $10.00 words as one reviewer noted on amazon.com. Personally, I love $10.00 words.

Don't know where I'm headed next, but maybe the library will have something for me.

Happy Spring!
