In my reading, that is!

Just got back from Russia, (A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles) and Ireland, (The Ruin by Dervla McTiernan) and I'm currently in Canada, (A Fatal Grace by Louise Penny).

Gentleman was very good.

The Ruin is McTiernan's first novel and some compare her to Tana French. I actually liked this book better than Tana French's latest - The Witch Elm.

I'm enjoying Grace, (started yesterday, halfway through, probably finish tonight).

As soon as our Snow Emergency is over I'll make it to the library to pick up The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino.

Oh, and I love your poster! Very clever!
