A Bit Of My Week In Reading

Leaving Atlanta cover imageReading: Tayari Jones wrote one of my favorite novels ever–Silver Sparrow –and I realized that I still hadn’t read her novel Leaving Atlanta so that is getting rectified. I was gifted The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death by Corinne May Botz because I am fascinated by Frances Glessner Lee who in the 1930s made true crime dollhouse scenes and founded the Department of Legal Medicine at Harvard. And I’ve been listening to Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia as my crime break which mixes Mexican mythology and sci-fi for an awesome adventure story.

The Vanished Bride cover imageFinished: The Vanished Bride by Bella Ellis is an utterly delightful, smart, and great fun mystery. It reimagines the Brontë sisters as detectors who set out to solve a missing woman case. I loved it! And you don’t have to know, or care, about the classic works to thoroughly enjoy this book, especially if you enjoy historical mysteries.
