Finished The Book of the Dead and am halfway through The Wheel of Darkness. I am really enjoying working my way through this series!
foxxycat , you might enjoy Connie Willis' To Say Nothing of the Dog -- it's a loose blend of historical fiction and sci-fi, time travel story set in London -- both 21st century and the 1940s WWII.I have been reading WW2 women's fiction about south London. I don't know why I started reading them..I picked up a book set in that area and just started reading..I read I think 6? books by Various authors, Dee William is one. Then I found On a Wing and A Prayer by Helen Carey. OMG talk about fabolous saga writing! this was #3 of 6 book series. I got all the others from thriftbooks on ebay and currently on book #5.
Helen Carey (Author of Lavender Road)
They are all the same characters on Lavender Road...and I love the adventures of the people who go overseas for various things..I don't know why I like these type of novels.. but I enjoy reading stories about true grit and family dynamics..I kind of got bored with American books and decided to branch out. I also have been reading a WW2 account by an Air force pilot based in 1939ish era. very eye opening!
I got to catch up on 4 pages of posts! I read for about 2 to 5 hours every night.
I’ll second that recommendation! There are four others about the time-traveling Oxford historians as well. Fire Watch, Blackout, and All Clear are also 21st century and WWII while The Doomsday Book is 21st century and the 1300s during the Plague. Connie Willis is an excellent writer. She’s an alumna of the university where my husband and I worked, and he invited her speak to his class. He said she was incredibly well read, articulate, witty, and kind. Pretty cool!foxxycat , you might enjoy Connie Willis' To Say Nothing of the Dog -- it's a loose blend of historical fiction and sci-fi, time travel story set in London -- both 21st century and the 1940s WWII.
Yes, I read it twice. It's a great book.Mia6 : have you read "Little Broken Things"? That's the only ebook my library has of hers.
Is it one of those scary ones?Yes, I read it twice. It's a great book.
Ha! She doesn't do scary.Is it one of those scary ones?
Cool. I've added it to my wishlist.Ha! She doesn't do scary.
I've read all her books and have liked each one. She is an underrated writer but I think one of her books wound up on the NewYorkTimes bestseller list so she is getting more popular. I really enjoyed Far From Here.Cool. I've added it to my wishlist.
I loved that book!I am currently listening to “The Girl on the Train” and loving it.
