Loot from my local library included the following:
- Belfast Diary – John Conroy (NF about 1980s Northern Ireland during the Troubles).
- Sharks in the Time of Saviors – Kawai Strong Washburn (F). One of former Pres. Obama’s favorite books of 2020, apparently. If it’s good enough for him… 😉
- A Caribbean Mystery – Agatha Christie (F/murder mystery). Love me some Christie.
- The Secret River – Kate Grenville (F/Australian). I’ve heard good things…
- Dolores Claiborne – Stephen King (F). I would like to read more King so seeing if I can handle his less-scary titles first.
- Emma – Jane Austen (F). In the mood for a good classic.
- The Water Museum – Luis Alberta Urrea (F/short stories). I don’t always get on that well with short stories but I’ll give them a go with Urrea’s work since he’s really good.)
I’ll be interested to hear how you get on with the Conroy!
I’m reading it right now and it’s very detailed about all the ins and outs of British policy re: Northern Ireland during the 1970s and 1980s. It’s definitely filling a lot of my knowledge gaps as I was but a shallow teenager during those years. 😉
There is no better classic than Emma! I’m reading a couple of Agatha Christies myself this week and they are always so much fun. Happy reading!
