Books
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova – A sprawling novel that features researchers tracking down Dracula. It could have been a little shorter, there were some sections that dragged a bit. But the book does feature many librarians!
A Changed Man by Francine Prose – Novel about a white supremicist who quits and joins a humanitarian organization established by a holocaust survivor. I like Francine Prose’s writing style but I had a hard time getting over the movie of the weekish plot premise.
Thirteenth House by Sharon Shinn – The second book of Shinn’s new series focuses on the adventures of shape shifter Kirra’s adventures when she disguises herself as her sister and goes on a tour to visit the nobility and uncover a plot against the king.
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Isiguro – Wonderful book.
Flora’s Lot by Katie Fforde – This was a typical katie Fforde book about a girl who moves to the country from London and finds a new life.
