About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

The Bone Key, by Sarah Monette, and I'm duly terrified. I think this is one library book discussion I'll actually make it to.
The Help, by Kathryn Stockett. I think this may be the rare occasion that the audiobook is actually *better* than the text...it's performed by four southern actresses who capture the nuance & inflection so perfectly that I just plain get lost in it, feel like I'm actually there listening to the characters telling the story as if they were real. Plus, the accents are spot on, which is terribly important to my nit-picky semi-Southern self. I just know I'm not going to want this book to end.
Lost City of Z (Grann), Never Suck a Dead Man's Hand (Kollmann), Just After Sunset (King). All three books were better in the book jacket &/or review than in the actual reading. You just never know. Lost City of Z was the best of the bunch. (Spoiler: He didn't find it.)
Flawless. On nook.
