Seems winter is here. It's freezzzzing outside and it's only mid-November. I hear it may warm up a bit later in the week. The leaves came down all of a sudden during the super cold nights. Autumn is over!
I finished and reviewed Dunbar by Edward St. Aubyn, a retelling in modern times of the King Lear story. I recommend it, and have decided to read others in the Hobarth Shakespeare series as well.
I've borrowed Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler, which retells The Taming of the Shrew.
My current read is The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne, a suspenseful thriller involving a woman who hunts down her father, a murderer and escapee from prison, who had abducted her mother years before. The conflict is that she had grown up loving him as her father, not realizing her mother's situation as a captive until she and her mother escaped when she turned age 12.

Harvee, all of your current reads sound interesting. I just finished reading Never Let Me Go. I hope you will stop by my blog for my review when you get a chance. Next I will read Louisiana Catch. Have a terrific weekend!
ReplyDeleteExcellent review, Suko. I just read your blog. Am so impressed you didn't give anything away, no spoilers.
DeleteHarvee, thank you. I tried not to include any major spoilers!
DeleteThe title of this post, The Leaves Have All Come Down, sounds like it belongs on a novel, novella, or poetry collection.
I will have to consider it, smile.

Yep, still cold and rainy too. Can't get out to rake the leaves as yet!
DeleteIt's cold -- cold here in Virginia too. It's been so warm here that it is now kind of a shock! It looks like you've been reading some good books lately.
ReplyDeleteI do wish though that they were all paper books. I like books in any form, but really appreciate them better on paper!
DeleteOoh. too cold for me. My Popcorn trees are starting to drop some leaves but everything else stays green year round. You have some wonderful looking books. Enjoy:)
