What I'm Reading Now

Here are a few books I have in my to be read (TBR) stack.
Cold Comfort Farm (1932) by Stella Gibbons. Reading for possible book club selection. Humorous domestic fiction - considered a classic in its field.

Silver Sparrow (2011) by Tayari Jones. New book reading for possible book club selection found on several recommended lists. Set in Atlanta by a native Atlantian (I think), young Dana knows that she & her mother are her father's "secret family". He also has a legal wife and daughter. A talented young African-American author. She has also written novels The Untelling (2005) and Leaving Atlanta (2002). Leaving Atlanta is set during the Atlanta child murders of 1979 - an event that made a lasting impression on the community.

Drawn in Blood (2009) by Andrea Kane. Recommended by a someone with similar reading interests. Romantic suspense. Not in a series, so picked this one based on availability and description. She does have some books in a series with FBI Special Agent Sloane Burbank (what a name!). -Correction - This is the 2nd Sloane Burbank book.  I'll probably wait and read the first one or one of her other books.- Looking forward to reading.

Burnt Mountain (2011) by Anne Rivers Siddons. Just released. I enjoy her books, but don't read every one. This one is set mostly in a camp in the North Georgia mountains, where Thayer Wentworth must face events involving her parents and her husband. Siddons' writing is very enjoyable.

Happy Reading!~
