What are you reading this week of January 1, 2017? [View all]



Happy to close the book on that one. So, what are you reading to start off this new year? I've opted for Arnaldur Indridason's Silence of the Grave, a stark police procedural full of humanity and pathos, a classic noir from a very cold place. Iceland. I'm halfway through and REALLY enjoying it.

I've finished all but two of the short stories in Get in Trouble and it has sure been an intriguing read. Author Kelly Link takes you down all sorts of twisted roads but mostly she writes about modern teen-aged girls and their darkest thoughts. The Boyfriend was really kewl, and creepy.

Looks like 2017 is going to be a whole new story. I hope it brings us all peaceful days, and peaceful men of peaceful ways.
