This is my list of books I finished reading in August. I always imagine myself lying in a hammock under a shady tree, but I don't think I've ever done that. I used to read outdoors when I was a kid, but now I'm too easily distracted. I do most of my reading sitting / lying on the sofa. This summer I did a lot of that with the air conditioning on. I hate the heat, so I managed to only go out when it was absolutely necessary.
The Longer Bodies - Gladys Mitchell
Adventures of a Vegan Vampire - Cate Lawley
The Mystery of the Brass-Bound Trunk - Carolyn Keene
My Brother Michael - Mary Stewart
The Monster of Grammont - George Goodchild
My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business - Dick Van Dyke
The Empty House - Michael Gilbert
X - Sue Grafton
Masquerade - Walter Satterthwait
The Redeemer - Jo Nesbo
Again, heavy on the mysteries. I have a few non-mysteries in the works, but I have to admit that mysteries are just so easy to read and so satisfying. I discovered a few new authors this month and hope to read more of their books.
That sounds like a lovely reading month. I just read a Michael Gilbert book, his first one, Close Quarters, and I look forward to reading more of them.
ReplyDeleteHow did you like the Walter Satterthwait book? I read one that I liked a lot but it was a different series.
I didn't like this Satterthwait book as much as I did the Joshua Croft series, which may be the series you're referring to. I loved those books and wish he'd write more of them.
