Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

Hello.

Continuing wonderful fall weather, dry and warm enough. I really need to start cutting back my flower beds but then I won't be reading!

 


Disaster at the Vendome Theater as Marine and Antoine await the birth of their baby a double murder occurs at the local theater. The two killed knew each other from Paris ages ago, but there is a local twist that involves others at the theater.

The Last Bookshop in London set in early World War II, Grace and Viv head to London to get out of family issues in their small towns. Grace starts work as a shop assistant in a small bookstore, working for a curmudgeon. As things work out, the girls help with the war effort, surviving the blitz and even a hit on the bookshop itself. Happy endings!

A Deceptive Composition, the latest Lady Darby book. Kiera, Gage and Lord Gage travel to Cornwall where Lord Gage grew up. Family members have requested their help in figuring out who may have murdered Lord Gage's uncle. A supposed treasure, a hidden cove and false pretenses await and will they survive.

The Sisterhood is a recounting of the history of women within the CIA. Initially kept in clerical jobs as the years passed they moved into more senior and critical positions of case, director and executive positions. The analytic positions women were critical, in fact it was a group of three women who first identified that al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden was a rising threat to the United States. Also that currently the biggest threat to the US is likely to come from within.

Exit Interview is a recounting of the author's twelve years at Amazon. Years spent with 24/7/365 job with a culture driven by fear. I don't know how she lasted as long as she did. Plus she didn't actually didn't get a face to face exit interview!


And they keep writing more. So many books, not enough time.




Yeah, don't destroy books. If you don't want to read it, fine. Just leave it for those of us who do want to read it.

Happy Reading

  3. There's so much I want to read, and work interferes.

    There are plenty of books I don't happen to want to read, but I wouldn't want to destroy them, just leave them for the ones who do want them. Rather like television, don't like what's on, change the channel or turn it off. Simple.
