While She Knits--What Are You Reading?

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

I had the pleasure yesterday of meeting up with semperlego and bookishbabe and we talked and talked and talked for hours about books. Gosh, I've missed that! After much discussion about Queen's Thief, we went on to talk about other favorites and what we've been reading lately. So, I thought it was time to give and get some recommendations from all you smarty pants readers.

What have you been reading lately that you loved or hated?

I've read two books lately that I liked very much. Year of the Reaper by Makiia Lucier was very Queen's Thief-like. Great character development and a compelling story. I guessed all the twists, except for one, but enjoyed it anyway.

I told the others yesterday that I seldom read historical fiction, but I read one book last month that was the exception to my rule. The Rose Code by Kate Quinn tells the story of three women codebreakers during WW II who help the British break the ever-changing Axis codes. The story travels back and forth between the war and several years later and I especially liked the three different women characters, who are based on real people.

It was great meeting Semper and Bookish!
