I have a quandary, a conundrum, a dilemma. I have a new book by one of my favorite authors and I am struggling to read it. Not because of the characters; they are very interesting. Not because of the story lines; I just read a similar book by another author. It is because it is about Shakespeare and somehow I just missed the gene that finds him interesting and his writing superb. So what do I do?
Meanwhile I read another book online about Werewolves, wolves and people. Again the wolves were broken down into packs with an Alpha and a Beta with their mates being called a Luna. This time they added another category of wolves, called the omegas. The lowest of all the classes where they are expected to be housekeepers and cooks, and seamstresses to the pack. The book was called The Omegas Best Friend by Sasha Johnson. I ended up reading it online at a site where it was free, however, quite often there were pages that were all messed up and perhaps in a different language. I was never sure.
I also read Kristan Higgins’ newest book Look On the Bright Side. What a great novel that was. I enjoyed the main character of Lark and her family. I enjoyed the story line, although I did need tissues, a bunch of tissues. The story line does go back and forth in time (staying with Lark). There are also chapters with other characters being the narrator to tell various parts of the story. The book was fascinating in that respect. I really enjoyed it.
Elise sent us in an interview with Alyssa Maxwell about two of her novels (Murder at the Elms and Murder at Vinland). The novels take place during the gilded age in Newport RI. Along with the historical aspect of the rich and famous people, there is a mystery to be solved in each book by Emma Cross. Both of the books sound like fun reads. Elise also sent us a review of the newest Tom Clancy Shadow State books written by M P Woodward featuring Jack Ryan.
Meanwhile I am going to read another book…not about Shakespeare.
