This week's question: What are you reading now and why?
I picked up a slim paperback that has been languishing on my shelf: Voltaire's Calligrapher: A Novel
by Pablo De Santis, published Oct. 1, 2010. I see it as literary fiction, but it's described also as "steampunk mystery set in the time of Voltaire." (Booklist) Wish I had started it sooner!The novel was sent to me by the publisher and I'm planning a review. The author is South American but this edition is published in English.
What are you reading right now?
Sounds interesting!

ReplyDeleteI am reading short stories, or flash fiction to be precise, as part of a Danish reading challenge (February: short story collections).
ReplyDeleteI have read some by Roald Dahl, but I needed change and picked (downloaded) a free collection written by Cathryn Grant.
This sounds right up my street, Harvee. Will wait with interest for your verdict.
ReplyDeleteHopping through. New follower!
ReplyDeleteVoltaire's Calligrapher sounds interesting. Reminds me of Shadow of the Wind by Zafon.

Sounds fun! I'm reading the latest Pern novel by Todd McCaffrey right now :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting sounding book. I have yet to read any steampunk but I am planning on giving it a whirl this year.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I will have to look that one up.
