Just finished listening to "Garlic and Sapphires" by Ruth Reichl. It was fun to listen to, tho got a little repetitive... anyone else like that one?
Also listened to Robert Heinlein's "Farnham's Freehold"... which I read many years ago... I still enjoyed the story, but it sure seemed dated. Some have mentioned reading Heinlein lately. Can't remember when I've heard characters in a book use the word "shan't" so much...
I have just started reading The Casual Vacancy by J K Rowling
Let me know how you like it. I know it is selling well but some of the reviews say it is a ho-hum book. Okay but not great.

An Unmarked Grave by Charles Todd

Have you read any of the other books by Charles Todd? I see there are quite a few by this mother-son writing team - and new to me... It's always great fun to find a new series of books.
If you like "historical mysteries" you might enjoy the Maisie Dobbs novels by Jacqueline Winspear. I just discovered her and really enjoyed the first one (titled Maisie Dobbs) It reminded me a little bit of Dorothy Sayers.
Jab, I have stopped reading it...I could not get into it and the storyline did not interest me either
Nora Roberts new book The Witness
No, I hadn't read others by Todd. But yes, I love Maisie Dobbs, have read them all. I can see the Sayers thought. I really do love mystery series; they are, for the most part, my "brain candy". I mean, you know the characters and can just slide into them. But then, I was a huge fan of Trixie Beldon and Nancy Drew!
Ever read The Sandman (Vertigo) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia graphic novels by Neil Gaiman?...
I just finished Neil Gaiman's "American Gods". Quite interesting. I had read Good Omens that he wrote with Terry Pratchett and it is in a similar vein to that so I enjoyed it. ...
Ever read The Sandman (Vertigo) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia graphic novels by Neil Gaiman?
I loved it. We have all of them in hard cover.Not yet. The American Gods was a special edition and Neil wrote a chapter about how the book came to be and mentioned The Sandman so guess that goes on the waiting list!
