Slow reading last week as I finished only two short books:
Arf (Bowser and Birdie #2)
April 26, 2016, Scholastic Press
A very cute mystery for young readers and not so young readers as well, anyone who loves dogs. The story is narrated by the dog Bowser who is the faithful companion and protector, as he styles himself, of eleven-year-old Birdie, who lives with her mom and grandma near a bayou in Louisiana.
When someone breaks into their house under very mysterious circumstances, Bowser is on the alert.
A Separation by Katie Kitamura, published February 7, 2017.
A psychological study, character-oriented, in a slow moving novel of decision and resolve, and finally indecision.
A young woman is sent by her mother-in-law to find the woman's husband who has gone to a remote corner of Greece on business. He seems to have disappeared, but the young woman does not inform her mother-in-law that she agrees to find her son in order to ask for a divorce.
No new books came in the mail, but I have downloaded ebooks and borrowed hardcovers from the library.
Other books:
I am almost finished with Murder in Saint-Germaine by Cara Black, a mystery set in Paris, one of the best so far in the series, I think.
The weather was so good yesterday, we spent time relaxing in the backyard, weeding, reading, and drinking iced tea and that new coffee I found recently.

We are also having nice weather here on Long Island and I am also enjoying the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteA Separation sounds interesting. I am beginning to appreciate character studies more and more. Slow moving plots do not bother me. Sometimes I prefer things to move slowly if it means that there is better development of character and themes.
You would like this one, Brian. I did too.
DeleteA Separation sounds intriguing!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books this week - and the nice weather :)
