11. So far, I'm keeping up with my resolutions!

Last week:

The Witch Elm by Tana French and Still Life by Louise Penny.

This week:

Crosstalk by Connie Willis

On reserve:

The Gentleman from Moscow (don't remember the author, right now)

and the next two books in Louise Penny's three pines series.


Connie Willis and Tana French are two of my favorite authors.

I had some problems with Still Life but not enough to discourage me from reading more of Penny's works.

So far Crosstalk seems to be one of Willis's lighter comic novels. Very enjoyable, even though a little "hyper" for my tastes.
