Right now I'm reading Motherless Brooklyn. It's one I've heard of, but never read. Same goes for Death of a Salesman, which is next up.

Well, Motherless Brooklyn was excellent. Highly recommended.

I’ve been very busy with Easter this weekend and I have to go cook dinner so I’ll make my usual Saturday post tomorrow but I found these at the thrift store today. The copy of This is Where the World Ends is an uncorrected proof!

My sixth grade teacher read My Side of the Mountain to us.

I just finished Black Eyed Susans. That was good.

I loved this book as a teen, read it multiple times!
Good movie too.

Black Eyed Susans is by Julia Heaberlin. Sorry, I should know to always include the author.

If y'all are into mysteries, I recommend Charles Todd. I just finished The Red Door, a book in his Inspector Ian Rutledge series.

Which Reginald Hill books did you read?

The first and third(circa 1970's)can't remember titles, and now Dialogues of the Dead(2009).
He's written dozens, will be a good go to when my other resources fade.

Dialogues of the Dead

That was the first of his that I read. Some of the character relationships were puzzling, because they were all new to me, and there were references to things I thought must be from books past.

This book put Hill on my radar. He's still there. I think it would be great to read all of them in order. Or just read all of them.

Many of the characters are the same in the 70's as in Dialogues of the Dead(2009).
I will definitely read more, but not in close sequence, style and prose would get old.
