The House of Ulloa by Emilia Pardo Bazan.
Started reading The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald. It's pretty funny.

Nothing But the Truth by Avi. This is a quick read, easy for kids, and gives anyone a lot to think about.
My daughter and I loved Avi's book The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. We read it to each other Saturday mornings in the parking lot outside the local gym, waiting for my son / her brother to be done with his hour.

Aren't we going to hear what's delightful about it?dongregg wrote:Fifty pages into one of the most delightful novels I've ever encountered -- Nobody's Fool, by Richard Russo, 1993.
My last book was Neverwhere, a Neil Gaiman fantasy about a bored office worker who helps an injured girl and ends up dragged into an underworld beneath London.

Brittas nya häst . It is very hard to find anything Swedish where I am. This is a start. (Anyone got a box of unused books in Swedish?)
Re: Last book(s) you read?
You would ask! Russo has been called a novelist of the working class. Just stand at the book rack and read the first few pages. If you can put it down and walk away, then 80-year-old Miss Beryl and Sully, her 60-year-old renter, will have to continue on without you!Bloody Mary wrote:Aren't we going to hear what's delightful about it?dongregg wrote:Fifty pages into one of the most delightful novels I've ever encountered -- Nobody's Fool, by Richard Russo, 1993.

Well, I haven't been updating my progress through The Dresden Files. So here it is...
And that's it, there is no more

Currently listening to the audiobook "The Boy on the Bridge", which is a prequel (I believe) to "The Girl With All the Gifts". So far it has a similar feel to the previous book, which is good if you liked the first book (which I did).

Richard Russo was in Atlanta this week to address a literary group, followed by a book signing.
