Who was your buddy this month? unbound_ophelia What books were chosen for you? Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke, The Pembrokeshire Murders - Steve Wilkins & Jonathan Hill, L.A. Confidential - James Ellroy Did you manage to read your books? Which ones? I read Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell If you read more than one, did you enjoy them? What was your favorite? n/a Would you recommend your chosen book(s)? I absolutely loved Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - I wish I would have read it sooner! Oh, and unbound_ophelia, there's an excellent mini-series of The Pembrokeshire Murders starring Luke Evans which you might want to check - the mini-series are the reason I found about the book itself.

Great to hear you enjoyed the book! I think I will read it myself very soon, then :) And thank you for pointing me towards the mini-series, I'll check it out :)

Did you manage to read your books? Which ones? I read "The Surgeon" and liked it a lot. Got "A Long Petal Of The Sea" from the library but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. If you read more than one, did you enjoy them? What was your favorite? n/a Would you recommend your chosen book(s)? I would definitely recommend "The Surgeon", yes. It was great and I am planning on reading the rest of the "Rizzoli & Isles" series. Did you read anything else this month, outside of your chosen books? I did

Who was your buddy this month?vickysg1 What books were chosen for you? Baudolino by Umberto Eco Streisand by Anne Edwards Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis Did you manage to read your books? Which ones?I haven't finished any of them! (But, I'm getting close on two and over halfway on the last.) If you read more than one, did you enjoy them? What was your favorite?I have come to dislike Barbra Streisand as a human being, but I like the other two well enough. I would say Baudolino is my favorite at this point. Would you recommend your chosen book(s)?Baudolino, yes. Streisand, only if you are a fan. Crooked Little Vein will not be for everyone. It's dark humor making fun of the American culture's underbelly. It is frequently funny, but it's also often absurd, crude, grotesque, and raunchy. Depends if you like fringe literature. Did you read anything else this month, outside of your chosen books?The Thomas Berryman Number by James Patterson...okay, but didn't feel as polished as his later books, understandably since it was his first. 😋
