Thanks Andrea & Meg!

Meg - is this your first reading of The Crossing Places? If so, I'm surprised you just starting this series. It's one of my favorites.

I found her Harbinder Kaur series first, and finished those off. After the second one I read I put The Crossing Places on my Kindle WL. I *finally* got it ordered and downloaded, but it's still taken me a bit to get it on the tbr! That's what happens when one has a tbr mountain the size of Everest!

Oh Meg, I envy you just starting that series! Like Jan, it was one of my favorites and I'm going through withdrawal now that it's ended.

You both have me really excited to read this. It's on the schedule for next week.

Hope you enjoy it Meg after all this build up ... lol!

I got side-tracked by another book, but I'll get The God of the Woods finished by this weekend.

It's an ARC, so I'm having to read a digital copy, which is hard on my eyes, but I'll be able to get it done.

:-)
Sorry if I'm making everyone wait!

You're not making anyone wait Pat!! No worries!!

Pat, do you listen to audiobooks? Some (most?) Kindles - at least the newer ones - have the ability to read a book to you, which has been a lifesaver for me on more than one occasion. The narration does sound a bit mechanical, and it sometimes mispronounces words - 'live' gets pronounced the same whether it's a place where you live or live music, for example - but on bad vision days, it's better than nothing.

Appreciate the updates Barb, Andrea & Jennifer!

The God of the Woods is done. It's due to be pubished in early July - and if you want a good who-done-it mystery, this one was well done.

There are a lot of characters and a lot of timelines - and they're all mixed up, but the construction of the novel allows you to figure it out as the police investigator does. Clues are fed just a little at a time, across timelines and characters.

Personally, I loved it!

Glad it was a great read Pat!! Thanks for the update :)

Longtitude 9 is finished: The Crossing Places, pub 2009 06/25

Thanks Meg! With all our chatter over your pick, I'm dying to know what you thought of it.

It was a good one!! I hope I can get to #2 before too long; I have too many challenges to finish up first. I did listen to the first chapter of it and it was tough not to go ahead and download the book. 😂

I Finished Longitude 5 with Post After Post-Mortem by E.C.R. Lorac - 305 pages.

Fun series of classic British mysteries - light reading for summers on the porch!

That's very likely to happen through the entire series. Just sayin'...

I just put a hold on The Crossing Places. Everyone is very convincing

Longitude 4 with Swiped
304 pages


Done.

Not sure which book I'll be picking up next. This time of year, my reading plan-ahead sort of falls apart. Summer reading throws a kink into my entire work life and my home life revolves around livestock chores, which leaves very little time for reading!

I'll see what I have on my KU selections and get back to you!

Thanks for the update Karen!!

Pat - I've got you marked down for Long 4!

Hi Jan, Am I still outstanding for Post Post Mortem? I logged it as finished at post 333 I think. Do you see it there? At any rate - I finished it on 6/26. Sorry to hold everyone up!
