Kindle ebooks have not been popular with me, even though I have tons and tons of them, mostly free mystery novels through Omnimystery News. I did read a few ebooks I bought without hesitation, without even caring that I wasn't reading a paper book. One of them was IQ84 by Murakami, which was such a thick novel of over 1,000 pages that it was easier to read on Kindle. The other most recent ebook I read was Walk, which I devoured very quickly. I don't mind reading really good books with excellent writing and plots via Kindle.
Here are two older books I borrowed from the library electronically:
The Last Kasmiri Rose by Barbara Cleverly is the first in the Joe Sandilands mystery series. The book has been promoted recently on Facebook by Soho Press, which printed a paperback in 2011.
Book description: It is India 1922 and the wives of officers in the Bengal Greys have been dying violently, one each year and always in March. The only link between the bizarre but apparently accidental deaths is the bunches of small red roses that appear on the women's graves..
I finished this book and gave it a five on goodreads.
The other ebook I'm reading is another 2011 publication:
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, published 2011 by DoubleDay
Welcome to Le Cirque des Rêves.
Book description: a contest between two young illusionists, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood to compete in a "game" to which they have been irrevocably bound by their mercurial masters. Unbeknownst to the players, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will.
Paper books borrowed from the library are also opened on my desk:
