What book(s) do you recommend that I add to my book queue?
Wow! That's a lot of books recently. Good for you. Interesting to read your recommendation of The Goldfinch - I had seen so many negative reviews of it. I enjoyed Circling the Sun by McLain. her new one is supposed to be quite good as well (Love and Ruin).
ReplyDeleteIf you have not read "The Woman Who Smashed Codes" by Jason Fagone, I highly recommend that. I'm in the midst of "The Immortalists" by Chloe Benjamin and really enjoying it.
In addition to being a talented quilter, knitter, and crafter...you are a voracious reader! Thanks for the book recommendations. The only one I've read = "A Man Called Ove." I thoroughly enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGreat book list Nancy! There a few there that I will download to my Kindle. I am an avid Baldacci fan and loved Deliver Us From Evil!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Baldacci fan too but haven't read that one yet. It's on my nightstand however, just waiting. I also like most anything by John Sanford, Clive Cussler, Nevada Barr, and Michael Connolly.
ReplyDeleteI have an audio book that I have not finished Lincolns Bardo it is pretty strange and the language is something else. Just not enough time in the day to listen:)
ReplyDeleteSorry it is Lincoln in the Bardo.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried any of Louis Penny's novels. Very good. I've listened to quite a few of them. They are set in Canada in a small town. They are murder mysteries. Well done and enjoyable. I also like the Anna Pigeon novels -- that's the character's name not the author. (I can never remember the author's name!) She a National Parks Ranger specializing in police work. Each book is set in a different national park. Sometimes the stories are very intense so I haven't read too many of her newer ones because of that. Hope you find them and enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteHa! Sara above is recommending Nevada Barr who writes the Anna Pigeon books.
DeleteLove the color of those socks. I list to Audible our library doesn’t have a lot of selection to choose from. I use my phone or iPad to listen.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy, for the book recommendations! My husband and I just finished listening to 'A Man Called Ove' and it was wonderful in every way! We laughed, we cried (well, I did!), and at the end, we wanted more! That's a good story! We are hoping we can find the other two Backman books you listed on audio. Listening in the car seems to be the only time we have to 'read' a book! We're so grateful for audiobooks, and for great recommendations! Thanks!
