What are you reading, Nov 22

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list. Hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey.

After the last few unsatisfying reads, I'm pretty happily settled with a few tasty books:

India Black by Carol K. Carr.  From the first page I literally wanted India Black, the narrator and heroine, to be my BFF.  The opening is fantastic (I'll share a teaser tomorrow!) and so far the story is fun and fast and engrossing.  I am completely overtired at work today thanks to this book (staying up too late to keep reading!).




Valley of Dry Bones (Medieval Mystery #7) by Priscilla Royal.  As the parenthetical sub-title explains, it's a medieval mystery.  I didn't realize it was seventh in a series but I'm not feeling lost in the slightest.  It's a fast read -- I'll probably finish later this week.



Prelude to a Scandal (Scandal #1) by Delilah Marvelle.  Not my usual type of read but the set up kind of intrigued me (sex addiction in Regency England).  So far, it's fun, but I'm a little nervous that everything will be wrapped up thanks to the-love-of-a-good-woman.









All historicals, I just realized!  I have a ton of contemporary fiction in my future, so apparently I'm just going to swing between extremes!

So, what are you reading?

  3. @Heather: I'm dying to share my teaser from it -- the narrator's voice is wry and dry but feels real -- not anachronistically tough or anything.

    @Blodeuedd: That's kind of what I thought, too, which is why I was so intrigued by the premise that would basically call a spade a spade. I'm v curious to see where the author goes with it!

One-sentence summary: Set in early 20th century Oregon, a orchardist helps two pregnant girls on the run and the experience has explosive results for all.
Reading Challenges:Historical Fiction

Do I like the cover?: I'm of two minds: a little bit I like it for the colors, and the bucolic setting; but up close, the image is sort of rendered like one those paint programs that makes photos look like canvases. It's odd.

I'm reminded of...: Alice Hoffman, Doris Lessing

First line: His face was as pitted as the moon.

Buy, Borrow, or Avoid?: Ohemgee, borrow or buy, especially if you like narratives set in the American West.

Why did I get this book?: I re…

Book Review: Novel Destinations by Shannon McKenna Schmidt and Joni Rendon

Image
First line: "I felt as if I'd got into a novel while going about in the places I'd read so much of," Louisa May Alcott wrote in her journal after seeing the sights of Dickensian London in 1865., from the Introduction

Book-inspired travel is a favorite of mine and my wife's. On my first trip with my in-laws, they cheerfully indulged my literary nerdiness by diverting a family road trip so that I could search for poet and novelist H.D.'s grave in Bethlehem, PA. Through multiple biographies and Jackson's own writing, my wife and I pieced together a route through North Bennington, Vermont, to explore Shirley Jackson's world. And for my babymoon, my wife took me to Yaddo, famed writing center, so I could walk the grounds so many favorite authors had.

All this is to say: a book that basically does all the work and offers me many, many ways to visit my favorite literary sites is pretty much catnip for me.

In its second edition, Novel Destinations offers a va…

Book Review: The Secret History of Jane Eyre by John Pfordresher

Image
First line: We begin with a mystery.

I grabbed this book because of the cover (gorgeous) and the fact that I'm not a huge Jane Eyre fan and I kind of want to be. (I mean, it seems like a book I should be all over.) I love books about books, stories that dive into the nitty-gritty and ineffable magic of writing a novel. And I'm always up to learn more about books and how, possibly, to read them.

But this one really disappointed me.

Pfordresher's argument -- his 'secret history' -- is that Brontë mined her own life for Jane Eyre. (No duh.) But he pushes a literal person-for-person sort of equivalency that really disappointed me; while arguing for Brontë's creative genius, I couldn't help but feel like he was minimizing it in this manner.

There are also some intense leaps that just seemed a stretch to me. For example, Rochester's agonizing sexual frustration reflects "...a sexual energy Charlotte Brontë knew, daily, at Haworth," (p82), from the a…
