Just wondering ... what is everyone reading now?

From my local newspaper: "If Ray Bradbury and Shirley Jackson had a love-child, it would be Neil Gaiman." He has a new book out, The Ocean at the End of the Land. If I'm not mistaken, there are several Gaiman fans here at DC who'll be interested. I'm thinking particularly of a certain Princess named Fiona.

I have been reading my way through old, stacked up newspapers. The news is no longer current - well, except a couple of items seem new to me at times. There are columnists and food pages and things I keep up with. Those things aren't priority, though, and I have a batch from when I had lots of other things to do. Slowly, I'll see the bottom of the stack again.

That's how I read my magazine subscriptions.

Just finished Kate Mosse's "Labyrinth" and started the first in the "Tales of the City" series. It was televised over here some years ago and I loved it so when I saw the books on that website named after a South American river I had to invest.

'Game of Thrones' by George R R Martin. I am on book 3 of 7!! Loving' them. There is a TV series of them but don't want to see that as the characters in my head are always different to someone else don't you think??

I always find that with radio plays and series. It's always a shock when an actor or actress from a series on the radio appears in a television programme and looks completely different fom my mind's eye idea of what they should look like.

Kay Scarpetta (based on a real-life M.E. from VA, Marcella Fierro) is the character use as the basis to create TV's "Bones" character Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan , portrayed by Emily Deschanel. (Yup, I'm good in Trivia .)

Sorry, Sorry...the "Bones" character is based on books written by Kathy Reichs...different writers..."Kay Scarpetta is a fictional character and protagonist in a series of crime novels written by Patricia Cornwell"

You're right. I knew that. Misinformation is what I get when I check with Himself to make sure I remember something correctly. Guess my rememberer is better than his. That ain't sayin' much.

LOL!!! I'm more of a Temperance Brennan fan than Kay Scarpetta...of course the draw for the TV show is David Boreanaz...I'd watch him do anything.

Dr Temperance is the Kathy Reichs books CG

 

[Kylie1969]

I have all of both Patricia's and Kathy's ebooks

I have read nearly all of Patricia's but only a couple of Kathy's, finding Kathy's harder to get into, I prefer Patricia's way of writing

 

[Gravy Queen]

couldn't get into her, huh goddess? yeah, well what about carol O'Connell? what about MALLORY, of Mallory's oracle? what about HER?
oh, what's the connection, my point, you want to know--I dunno, just characters you can really get into, I guess. and, that I began reading and loving cornwell and O'Connell at about the same time....

oops, sorry, gq. I thought I was talking to goddess. so, just take out the flippant parts, 'right?
