Just Started

I got a bit distracted from reading one of my books because as I was organizing my desk I found the copy of BookPage I had picked up on a recent visit to BookPeople. I love that they have it available there. Not only am I enjoying the reviews but I am also glad I found it because I had jotted down two books which sounded interesting, and I wanted to remember to add them to my wishlist.

The two books are: The Dark Holds No Terrors by Shashi Deshpande, which sounds very moving and Salvage by Jane F. Kotapish. Has anyone read these?

I am still at the beginning and so far I can’t say that this sounds like a mystery but I like what I’m reading and I can’t wait to see what happens.

The main character is a psychologist who will begin to use his patients’ stories for his own fiction writing. Oh doctor, that’s not a good thing.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I’m hoping to get a bit of reading done and of course I’ll try to drop in at the bookstore for more browsing and maybe a treat for me.  More bookish talk soon.

    Definitely not a good idea if you’re a psychologist. I hope you have a wonderful weekend too!

    I have this one on my stacks, and I’ve shied away from it simply because I’m not such a huge mystery fan. I’ll be really interested to read what you think of it.

    Sounds like an interesting read. I don’t normally like murder mysteries (I think I’m too good at guessing the end and I usually end up disappointing when I’m correct) but this one sounds interesting. I look forward to hearing how you like it.
