Exceedingly Mundane

I stayed up late last night and finished a book I had borrowed from my sister Gail, “Montana Sky” by Nora Roberts. I really enjoyed it! Gail’s review is already posted here on Hambones.org, so I will try to add my comments later this weekend.

I had only read one trilogy by Nora Roberts before this book, which I also enjoyed, but this one was a bit different. This book had a bit of murder mystery to it, and I really enjoyed that aspect of it, mixed in with the romance. I didn’t like the references to the gore and other murderous aspects, but they weren’t that bad and I was able to pass over them without it bothering me. Unlike a lot of other, more “hard-core” murder mystery or forensics type thrillers.

For the record, that makes #53 so far this year, with a total of 18,781 pages read. Up next is a paperback I picked up in Borders a few weeks ago called “16 Lighthouse Road”. I’ve checked out several Debbie Macomber books from my library before, and noticed that she has a series of books set in a small town in Washington state, called the “Cedar Cove” series. I wanted to start with the first one, and after searching and searching with the librarian, we discovered that the library’s one copy of the first book in the series had been lost or misplaced. So, I bought the first one in paperback, and plan to check the rest of the series out of my local library. I think I will really enjoy these books; I always like Macomber’s characters and her style of writing. Good “women’s fiction”, as I like to call it! 😀
