Rhyta Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Our local library has been shut for a year now :(Our libraries are back open now but I have been checking out e-books online while they were closed and I still do a few. I like being able to read in bed with my glowlight. I read all three mediums: digital, audio and paper. Edited March 19, 2021 by Rhyta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun & Moon Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) The Prince and the Dressmaker, a graphic novel by Jen Wang. A nice, quick read, beautiful colours. A beautiful story altogether. I will catch Wang's and Cory Doctorow's In Real Life in my library immediately. Edited March 28, 2021 by Sun & Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Just finished A Darkness Absolute, part 2 Rockton series by Kelley Armstrong. Casey and her fellow Rockton sheriff’s deputy Will chase a cabin-fevered resident into the woods, where they are stranded in a blizzard. Taking shelter in a cave, they discover a former resident who’s been held captive for over a year. When the bodies of two other women turn up, Casey and her colleagues must find out if it’s an outsider behind the killings or if the answer is more complicated than that…before another victim goes missing. Another scary story, read it in a couple of days. Lots of crazy plot twists again, very good reading for cold winter nights.

IbanezJem Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The Hudson River School : Nature and the American Vision by Linda S. Ferrer. A large and visually striking book about the movement from the mid 1800s. The more I know about them, the closer I`ll be able to emulate them (that`s my current working theory). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamas Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 David Baldacci, Split Second.I am not a mystery/detective reader, by any shot. But I read Split Second, and now want to keep reading more.The writing is great (45 languages?) and didn't notice any typos in a rather long first book. Now starting Hour Game, two ex Secret Agents take on the world! And want to start their own agency? Cormoran Strike - look out!Very well written, if not my go-to style of book.

Rhyta Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Just finished Watcher in the Woods by Kelley Armstrong, #4 in the Rockton series. Starts up from the crazy cliffhanger ending from #3. Casey has smuggled her sister into Rockton for help with a patient. Then an outsider is seen in the forest, spying with binoculars and they are out to find him and stop whatever he is up to. As usual, I didn't figure out who the baddie was and there was another murder of course. These books are so good, I have to make sure I have time to read, because once I start I have a hard time stopping. :D Edited April 16, 2021 by Rhyta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many authors?!But maybe I am starting to read less seriously, more entertainly (not a word, but should be?)I didn't know a lot about certain authors until I started working at the library. When people ask for a certain author or say I finished this series, they want you to recommend something new for them. I really enjoyed that because I learned so much about all kinds of genres I really never read before. Now that I am retired, I do miss that part of it, keeping up on who has a new book coming out and other trivia. Goodreads helps me a bit too. I find I am falling back on certain genres now that I am not so involved in keeping up with the trends. Edited April 17, 2021 by Rhyta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Finished Alone in the Woods, #5 Rockton. This was good, not as many twists to the plot but suspenseful nonetheless. Finding a newborn baby in the snow brings all kinds of troubles for Casey and Dalton. We learn more about the others groups in the woods: Settlers (people who left Rockton years ago and set up their own settlements) Traders and Hostiles (more settlers that have become more primitive and violent). Trying to untangle this mystery is their job. This time I figured out who the killer was but I still enjoyed the story. Now I am on the wait list at the library for #6.. :eh: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
