Finished reading Lori Foster’s Getting Rowdy and was disappointed. Foster is usually good. This read more juvenile than anything. Review to come. Started reading C.E. Murphy’s Thunderbird Falls.

Erin M. Evans’ Adversary was very confusing for the first 40 or so pages, and then it started to come together. I’ve been reading this series, The Sundering, which is one of those a different-author-per-book types, and it’s definitely reading like standalone books. Paul S. Kemps’ The Godborn had a few more connections to R.A. Salvatore’s The Companions than Adversary does to either. I’m sort of assuming that as more I read more stories in the series that they’ll eventually start to come together…

A friend has been encouraging me to read Louise Penny, and I finally started with Still Life, partially because one of my groups is reading her this month. All I can say is WOW. I adore her. It has that cozy, cottagey feel, and Gamache seems a cross between Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot with a pinch of the more-settled Eve Dallas. I want to read more if only to delve deeper into Gamache’s life—his wife sounds amazing! I tidied up Kim Harrison’s Black Magic Sanction ahead of time to start the next in The Hollows series, Pale Demon in a couple more weeks. As a nightcap, I started in on Maya Banks’ Sweet Persuasion.
