Elvan is starting Where I Belong

Book club selection for October. Enjoyed this look at the early years in the life of Great Big Sea lead singer Alan Doyle. Fishing, cod tongue collecting and dealing with a town split in two by religion. A coming of age story filled with humour, music and life lessons.

Elvan is starting Identity

DNF @40%. Too much renovation talk, not enough action.

Elvan is 51% done with All the Devils Are Here (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #16)

Get past the flowery prose in the opening chapters and this is a good old fashioned who dunnit and why.. in Paris. I’m loving this book so far.

Elvan is 70% done with Good Luck with That

I'm loving this. Higgins has the perfect balance of humour and pathos. Some of the scenes are hysterical while others rip your heart out.

Elvan is reading Dead Girl Running (Cape Charade, #1)

This was surprisingly good. I loved the slow roll out of events which shape the main character. Lots of side players making this feel like a drawing room cosy mystery involving the smuggling of antiquities. I enjoyed sorting through the possible suspects and was fully engaged with the dramatic final scenes. I had forgotten how much I enjoy Christina Dodd.
Will definitely look for the next book in the series.

Elvan is 83% done with The Girl in the Ice (Detective Erika Foster, #1)

Hmm. Call your female lead detective a cu#t once, Bryndza and I forgive you. Call her that twice and add in some misogynistic slurs and I am dropping stars like autumn leaves.

Elvan is 35% done with The Girl in the Ice (Detective Erika Foster, #1)

I'm loving this traditional police procedural. It's taken several chapters but DCI Erika Foster is beginning to put together a capable team of investigators.

Elvan is 15% done with Barkskins

This book is epic. A sweeping history of French Canada. I'm still in the 17th century and this reminds me of all the history classes we took as kids. A great refresher.
