What are you reading this week of July 30, 2017? [View all]



I am now venturing into Blue Labyrinth by Preston/Child. I am really enjoying this one for many reasons. Pendergast is back and on top of his game. Vincent, Margot, and the New York Museum of Natural History are back. If you've read Relic and/or Reliquary, you will be pleased. If you haven't read those, it makes no difference to this story so it's not like a prerequisite. It's just a little more fun for those who have. Plus, this story moves along at a good pace.

Having just finished Utopia by Preston, I'd say that one would have benefited from being shorter. It just went on way too long. Still a good story, though. And now there was that horrific accident at the Ohio State Fair which you can't help but wonder at if you've read the book.
