The Tudor Secret: The Elizabeth I Spymaster Chronicles
by C. W. Gortner
Tudor disappointment (3/25/2011)
I found this book unappealing. Also I think this is a republish of another book title. I struggled to enjoy the characters and found myself skimming through this book.
The Paris Wife: A Novel
by Paula McLain
Hemingway (12/8/2010)
I enjoyed this book for the description of the 20's life style. The relationship was dysfunctional and Hemingway so needy. After reading this book my interest was peaked and I went on to do further research about Hemingway and his life.
Bury Your Dead: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel, #6
by Louise Penny
A Mystery Tour of Quebec (9/13/2010)
This was my first Louise Penny Book. Besides the Travelog of Quebec, there are separate mysteries playing out at the same time. I couldn't wait for them to be all tied together. Characters well defined and I may consider reading other books by this author.
