What I read: September

reread:

48. The Likeness - Tana French

new:

55. The Silent Wife - A.S.A. Harrison I am torn on this. I listened to the audiobook, and it was fine. Not spectacular. Honestly I can't remember much about this.

56. The Cuckoo's Calling - Robert Galbraith Loved it. I love the characters and I was genuinely surprised by "whodunit" although it didn't feel like it was coming out of left field.

57. Shotgun Lovesongs - Nicholas Butler I tried to listen to this in August when I was coming down with strep and didn't get into it at all, but I gave it another shot and quite enjoyed it. Non-genre, lovely. And I really liked the audio - they had different people reading for each perspective and I thought that was excellent.

58. The Secret Place - Tana French Ahh, Tana. You can't go wrong. My little issue was the weird magic weirdness, but I loved the pure story. Good stuff.

59. The Redbreast - Jo Nesbo Okay, so in the grand scheme, I didn't like this book as much as the many other Nesbo books I've read. HOWEVER. This is where so much happens that is alluded to in the later books, it was good to read it. Ellen is killed in this book. The horrible crooked cop is revealed in this one. Hole meets Raquel in this one. It was good to read. I wish I had read it before reading all the others.

60. The Silkworm - Robert Galbraith I also loved this, however I got it in audio and holy hell, it's too long to listen to. I felt like I did nothing but listen to this book and it still took me weeks. But good stuff. Again, I didn't know whodunit. I had ideas, but I was wrong. 

61. Delancey - Molly Wizenberg This was much better than My Homemade Life (which I liked, but this was better). Good.

62. Ten Below Zero - Whitney Barbetti I'm not good at reviewing my friends' books. I think I'm not as interested in this genre as I thought I was, and I didn't feel the concept was as novel as the reviews indicate, and I didn't understand some things. But the writing itself was very good.

63. Torrent - Lindsay Buroker Apparently I read this just in time for the next one to come out, which makes me happy. Very strange, not my favorite but interesting. I think the next one will be better. It got really good at the end.

64. Magic Bites - Ilona Andrews Jen, was this a spin off of another series or something? I liked it a lot, but I felt like there wasn't enough explained considering the "world" is completely different. I liked the marked landmarks (like the Coke factory in Atlanta). I just felt a little lost sometimes and I wish I understood more. It's very much like Laurell K Hamilton without the gobs of sex though, so, good.
