So maybe I was busy. Or maybe I was writing. A lot. But here’s what I managed to get through this month. And I liked it very much, thank you.
* OBSESSION by Traci Abramson. A shivery, shuddery stalker novel written by the coolest lady/former CIA ninja you’ll ever know. A little outside the box for me, and a whole lot of fun.
* PEACE LIKE A RIVER by Leif Enger. I want to get my frequent readers’ card punched. I’ve read this at least five times, and it never, ever gets old. Oh, how I love the outlaws and the miracles and especially-especially Swede. I adore Swede.
* SOLOMON SNOW AND THE SILVER SPOON by Kaye Umansky. (Reread.) This time, I read it to the Kids. It took a while, since there were very few days/evenings that we were all home and not committed to doing something else, but this is a fun Dickensian romp with very funny twists. Please read it with the accents. You’ll be glad you did.
* THE LONESOME GODS by Louis L’Amour. This was my first try at a L’Amour book. It was fun. Truly. A storyteller’s book. Gunfights and desert magic and family ties and lots and lots of horses. Thanks to my Very Dear Friend J for the birthday book.

I’ve never read Peace like a river, but now I really want to.
I’m glad you liked Mr L’Amour. Some people (like my hubby) have read 70+ of his books, while others (like me) only need one or two. Either way, every one should experience him. Personal opinion, natch:)

I’m just about done with my second reading of this book. I picked it for book club and we had such an excellent discussion of it last night. To borrow from some random cartoon, I do believe that book inbiggens my soul.

Oh, and we just discovered last night in our book club discussion that Brittany’s college senior seminar was on The Myth of the American Cowboy, so I think you should check with her for your next cowboy reading selection.
