WWW.WEDNESDAY

 

 


WWW. WEDNESDAY asks three questions to prompt you to speak bookishly. To participate, and to see how other book lovers responded, click here

PS I no longer participate in WWW.WEDNESDAY via that link because her blog won't accept Blogger comments. I mention this only to save you the frustration I experienced trying to link up.

1. What are you currently reading? Christmas Presents by Lisa Unger. I didn't expect holly jolly from an author known for thrillers, and this one is dark. It's about Madeline, a small-town entrepreneur who bears scars -- one on her face and one on her soul. She was the victim of an assault years ago and one day, when she least expects it, a true crime podcaster comes into her bookstore to buy a Christmas gift ... and to reopen her case.

 
2. What did you recently finish reading?
In the Best Families by Rex Stout. A dog is murdered. I get very upset when pets are in peril, and something just awful happens to a dog in this one. I wished I'd been warned about that going in. The thing of it is, I became obsessed with seeing the cruel bastard brought to justice. I got what I wanted.

 

One outstanding thing about this entry is that Lily Rowan has a bigger part! Lily is Archie Goodwin's best girl, and she is drafted into joining the usually all-male team. It's nice to see her take part in the action and acquit herself so well.


3. What will you read next? I don't know.
