Reading now, reading next and on my list
When Elizabeth Kostova’s new book, The Swan Thieves, arrived at the library this month I remembered that I had wanted to read her first book, The Historian, and had not yet. Now, I am 596 pages into it and (still) loving it. I have been reading The Historian and listening to The Witch of Portobello, by Paulo Coehlo simultaneously. This has been quite interesting. Right before I started these literary adventures I had shelved a book that fascinated me, Bury Me Standing: The Gypsies and Their Journey by Isabel Fonseca. I had spent a few minutes reading and flipping thru Bury Me Standing before I shelved it that morning and after I started The Historian and The Witch of Portobello I had to go back and retrieve it off the shelf and take it home. Very interesting indeed.
As I work my way through these selections Fever Dream, by Preston and Child waits on deck with the new Isabel Allende in the wings!
hhm, hhm good reading anyway you look at it!
