Wednesday Reading Meme - catch up
Poor hounds are greatly unimpressed after suffering a bath today. But they are all clean and soft and silky now - and Mr Nosey's post-bath extended booty shake was his most magnificent yet!
Books of March
Underline: Greatly enjoyed; highly recommend.
Strikethrough: Did not like; do not recommend.
Fiction
Whiskey Beach by Nora Roberts
Concealed in Death (In Death #38) by J.D. Robb
J.D. Robb rereads
I did my major reread and catch-up last year and continue to profess my deep love for the Dallas&Peabody friendship/partnership and the way these characters and relationships grow and change.
His Burial Too (Inspector Sloan #5) by Catherine Aird
Death by Darjeeling (A Tea Shop Mystery #1) by Laura Childs - DNF
The first chapter was so excruciatingly twee I couldn't read any further.
Non-fiction
A Fever in the Heart: And Other True Cases (Crime Files #3) by Ann Rule
Notorious Australian Women by Kay Saunders
The Complete Book of Great Australian Women: Thirty-six women who changed the course of Australia by Susanna de Vries
The Ship Thieves: The True Tale Of James Porter, Colonial Pirate by Siân Rees
A frightening introduction to brutality of the Australian transportation system. My favourite part though, was about two pages worth a British official and a Chilean official going back and forth over legalities and logistics regarding the escapees. You could almost hear the British guy having apoplexy. I have to wonder if the Chileans a) really were that inefficient, b) just didn't give a shit or c) they enjoyed fucking with him. It was hilarious.
Tasmania's Convicts: How Felons Built a Free Society by Alison Alexander
The French Explorers and Sydney by Colin Dyer
Bound for Botany Bay: British Convict Voyages to Australia by Alan Brooke
