Hi there, @bookstodon , what are you reading these days? I'm half-way through Normal Rules don't Apply, Kate Atkinson, and it's really good! (a collection of interconnected short stories) Deliciously ominous, with unexplained deaths and weird job interview / date questions. "If you were a (sandwich / vegetable / disease), which would you be?" #amreading#bookstodon#shortfiction#stories
@ferngirl@bookstodon Some "golden age" mysteries- the current one is "Touch and Go", a Patricia Wentworth thriller/mystery from 1934. I find them soothing, and some of them are even good!
@ferngirl@bookstodon "Murder Road" by Simone St. James (a favorite author), which I am thoroughly enjoying! She writes paranormal thrillers, so very creepy but not straight up horror.
After that will be, "The Dead Detective" by William Heffernan, about a detective with the ability to hear "the postmortem whispers of murder victims." Okay, then.
Plus, a collection of short stories, "Memphis Noir," which caught my attention because I live in Memphis.
@ferngirl@bookstodon Hi, I am rereading The Virgin in the garden by AS Byatt. I remembered that I loved it, and now I remember why. Her characters are so interesting and relatable, the thoughts in the book are very interesting and her prose is very good. #bookstodon#books#boeken
