Quote of the day:
Books wrote our life story, and as they accumulated on our shelves (and on our windowsills, and underneath our sofa, and on top of our refrigerator), they became chapters in it themselves.
-Anne Fadiman
My first and current read for the month of May is British novelist J.K. Rowling's crime debut (writing as Robert Galbraith) and titled 'The Cuckoo's Calling'.
The story revolves around the death of a model who fell from her balcony, it is assumed she committed suicide, however the brother thinks otherwise and calls a private detective to investigate...
So tell me, what book are you reading?
Peace. Love. Light*

I loved Cuckoo's Calling for the depth she brought to each character. They are flawed and human and grey and imperfect.. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading I've Got You Under My Skin by Mary Clark. 50 pages in and it looks promising :)

ReplyDelete@Christine: Yes she writes by a different name. Thanks for sharing your book rea!
@Erniesha Tibs: Hello lovely, yes do give a try then. Thanks for visiting!
It seems to be an amazing book. Just finishes "The Alchemist", by P. Coelho. I really liked it this time. When I was about 18 I started to read it, but at that time it was too difficult for me to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm too busy writing at the moment to read, I've seen good reviews for this one though
ReplyDelete@Liuba: The Alchemist is a classic. I might just go read it all over. Thanks for that!
ReplyDelete@Pat Hatt: Too busy to read, yes we've all experienced that. Hopefully you'll get to squeeze some time out to do so. Thanks for stopping by!

I've not had the time to open a book the whole of this month. Sigh
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never even read her Harry Potter books.
ReplyDeleteReading a Brandon Sanderson novel right now.
Reading between different poets the prose book by Cornelia Funke "Inkspell" one of trilogy of "Inkheart". Thanks for comments!
ReplyDeleteActually I'm reading a book from the 70's. It's Desi Arnaz's autobiography. It's taken me forever because I read at night and fall asleep, many times while reading. I'm saving the rest for vacation in a week or so.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote! I am reading a book about light and shadow (art reference).
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting read. Cool stuff.

J.K. Rowling's crime debut! Oh man, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many books I love read and still loving them. I am into self-improvement type so I love reading a book by Jack Canfield
ReplyDeleteNice quote, reading books on philosophy

It's good to see J.K. Rowling branching out in a new direction. Also good to see how much people are enjoying it. I'm reading (for the fourth or fifth time) The Gunslinger - The Dark Tower series by none other than Stephan King. One of my favorite series that I read every other year or so.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting :D let me know if its good!
ReplyDeleteI didn't like this one so much. Maybe it was just me. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm currently reading The Casual Vacancy :) But no matter what, I shall end up reading all her books, I guess!
I need to read this.
ReplyDeletePurple Hibiscus.Got tired of probably being the only one that hasn't read it and its quite intriguing:).

This sounds like an interesting book and it reminds me of a case that happened in Coronado, California about 3 years ago where a young woman committed suicide by hanging herself, but some of the evidence isn't 100% conclusive that it was a suicide.
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading The Accidental Life of Greg Millar by Aimee Alexander. It was a good book, I would highly recommend it.
