Books for the Summer so far..

James Lee Burke always reminds me of my Dad.They are/were so much the same. Always the same sort of a firm line of right and wrong. He loved his stories and so do I.  I found one I hadn't read before and I was SO happy. A stand-up thriller as usual.




I was kind of done with Janet and her peeps, but I took a year off and loved these two books.  They felt new and not so rote.
 William Kent Krueger is outstanding. I always wanted to read his works, since he hung out at the Broiler writing. That in itself is so cool! But they are great, great works. Kudos my MacGrove friend! Sorry I am so late to the bandwagon.


 Oh, the HBO series was one thing, but the books are even better of course! What a mind this man has! Do you ever just think, how have they tapped into these imaginations and written such epic tales? To be able to do this is fascinating to me. Not just a story, but a 5 book epic tale! And this Fire and Ice Series is not the only thing he has done.  Between him and JK Rowling, Tolkien, Baum, Barrie and P.L.Travers what wonders await in one's mind!!!!
