What are you reading the week of Sunday, December 7, 2014?

I finally finished Broken Harbor by Tana French. I have read 3 of her Dublin Murder Squad books and each on leaves me unsettled, she likes to end on an unresolved chord, which is like any story in real life. There is always more. Well I dropped it off at the book drop yesterday morning before the library opened, so I didn't have a book to read.

Last night I was scanning through my untidy bookcase and came across a slipcase with 3 books in it. It is The Croswicks Journal by Madeleine L'Engle. How long this gem has been hiding among other less worthies, well I couldn't tell you. I suppose it is a memoir and not fiction but if the 1st chapter of book 1 A Circle of Quiet is representative of the rest, it is a worthy ready. Ms. L'Engel (November 29, 1918 – September 6, 2007) was a fabulous wordsmith. Some here maybe familiar with her Wrinkle in Time series.
