Very little reading done this week for reasons which I can’t easily identify but probably have something to do with Life 🙂
I am making good progress with The Shining but wasn’t able to make it to the book club meeting which was probably just as well; enjoying it hugely – I just love Stephen King, always have.
I have continued to add to the Invisible TBR pile that is my Kindle app with the following:
- Shutter Man by Richard Montanari – the ninth Byrne and Balzano book, a series i have become mildly obsessed with this year;
- Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand – acid folk band recording in country house with dark secrets;
- In Plain Sight by Dan Davies – the life and lies of Jimmy Savile, an exploration of the dreadful sexual crimes of a man who was once really huge on UK TV. reading this because of an long-standing interest in true crime but also it has been nominated for a major non-fiction award;
- The Fifth Heart by Dan Simmons – another gothic historical literary chunkster featuring Sherlock Holmes and Henry James;
- Open Season by Archer Mayor – this is the first of 23 or so Joe Gunther mysteries set in New England; I know nothing about this author but it was mentioned in an article about S3 of True Detective and where it might (should) be set and it sounded intriguing.
Must do better 😀

That’s the problem for me with the Kindle books…they are not sitting where I won’t forget about them!

I make sure I’m always reading one, it’s the only way to deal with it 🙂

I think I might have bought it because you reviewed it, Jenny?
