A Bit Of My Week In Reading
Audiobooks: Just started City of Windows by Robert Pobi so I’m about to find out if I can do a political thriller in our current climate. And The Whisper Man by Alex North which is a dark British serial killer novel because who likes to sleep without nightmares? I finished Daniel Nieh’s Beijing Payback, which had a great narrator, and traveled from the U.S. to Beijing (duh) and back as a college student learns of his father’s criminal involvement after his death. And I inhaled my mystery break Rafe: A Buff Male Nanny by Rebekah Weatherspoon which was everything I wanted it to be.
I am super excited to have acquired these egalleys: Iced in Paradise (A Leilani Santiago Hawai’i Mystery) by Naomi Hirahara; Emily St. John Mandel’s The Glass Hotel; Francesca Momplaisir’s My Mother’s House!
