The "New" What Are You Reading Thread-2012

[K9 Owned]

Hi folks!

Generally by this time Kitty Of Canada would have created a new thread for the new year and would have emailed me to sticky it. I went back a few months and have not seen a post by her in ages. Do any of you want to take ownership of this thread? If so please get one started and I will then unsticky this 2012 version and sticky the 2013 thread.

I will leave it until Monday unless I hear from someone before then. On Monday I will create a new thread for those of you who post here.

I was hooked too UNTIL I got through , Dance with Dragons. Now I'm just cranky! Martin is making a career out of these books. By the time the next one comes out I'll have to reread the first five to remember the story.

Yes he does! I'd have to look to be sure but I THINK there were several years between the publication of book 4 and book 5. Too much time for this old broad to remember all the story lines.

I'm currently reading Mission Flats by William Landay. I like it!

"By a shimmering lake in western Maine, a body lies sprawled in a deserted cabin. The dead man was an elite D.A. from Boston whose beat was the city’s toughest neighborhood: Mission Flats. For local police chief Ben Truman, investigating the murder will mean leaving his quiet home and joining a vengeful manhunt in a world of hard streets and harder bargains. The cops have zeroed in on a suspect, a ruthless predator targeted for prosecution by the murdered D.A. But Ben distrusts the Boston police—especially when he uncovers a secret history of murder and retribution stretching back twenty years. As past and present collide, as tribal loyalties threaten to lynch an innocent man—or let a guilty one go free—one thing remains certain: The most powerful revelations are yet to come."

And I just finished..The Light between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. I didn't really like it even though the book had very high reviews. I thought the characters were rather boorish.

"After four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia and takes a job as the lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, nearly half a day’s journey from the coast. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes once a season and shore leaves are granted every other year at best, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby’s cries on the wind. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby.

Tom, whose records as a lighthouse keeper are meticulous and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report the man and infant immediately. But Isabel has taken the tiny baby to her breast. Against Tom’s judgment, they claim her as their own and name her Lucy. When she is two, Tom and Isabel return to the mainland and are reminded that there are other people in the world. Their choice has devastated one of them".
