The snow is back after a short respite, though just a heavy dusting on the ground so far. More to come, I bet! How is the weather where you are?
I got three new books last week, hooray! The first is set in Venezuela, the second in NYC, and the third in Korea and Japan. All are historical novels or begin as historical novels.
I finished reading Fools' River by Timothy Hallinan, a pretty suspenseful mystery set in Bangkok. Read my brief review, here,
I also read the Man Booker prizewinner, The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. My comments are here.
Other books I've read recently that I can recommend are The Confusion of Languages by Siobhan Fallon, and
Everything Here is Beautiful by Mira T. Lee

It snowed here today and everything is white again, Winter is hanging on. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week. :)
We already had snow twice this year, and we never have snow. I’ve heard it’s returning the week of Valentines Day.
ReplyDeleteI’m reading Italian books.

ReplyDeleteI loved Pachinko and am going to see the author today.
The Wicked City is on my tbr list. The others are new to me. Have a great reading week.
ReplyDeleteAll of your books are new to me. Our weather sounds similar. It dusted us with snow a couple of days last week and then the temperatures dropped to well below zero. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm tired of snow and I'm tired of cold.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books. I love that they all have such different settings.
ENJOY!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE Beatriz Williams' books.
It's back cold here. I'm not a fan! I loved the Beatriz Williams book though I tend to love anything Williams writes! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm adding Black Sugar to my wishlist. I read and enjoyed Pachinko last year. This week's post
ReplyDeleteI managed to get the dogs walked before the next round of snow started. I was proud of myself. I love historical fiction, so I’ll have to check these out. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Only some rain for us. Your 'traveling' historicals sound like good reading. Enjoy!
