What are you reading this week of February 28, 2016? [View all]

Finished The Ballad of the Sad Café. Yikes! The ending was so brutal. Why? Men are just inherently evil?

Then I got some great news. My library got Even Dogs In the Wild by Ian Rankin. I was so thrilled, I was waiting at their door when they opened the next day so I could get it before anyone else did. Lots of bad guys in this story, too, but at least you can see why they are doing what they do. It's a really good book.

I've also listened to Hunting Badger by Tony Hillerman. This was quite interesting as it dealt with militia and land rights and the BLM. What's old is new again.

Plus I watched A Thief of Time, another Hillerman, which was a PBS Mystery movie produced by Robert Redford. Great cinematography and intriguing mystery. It's been a good week, literary-wise.

So, what are you leaping into this week? (See what I did there? )
