What are you reading the week of Sunday, February 15, 2015? [View all]

A belated happy Valentine's Day to all!

I had a wonderfully full week of reading last week. Books 2 & 3 of Aline Templeton's DI Marjory Fleming series, The Darkness and the Deep and Lying Dead - both of them well-crafted mysteries set in the south-west of Scotland. I intend to make my way through as much of the series as is available from the library (#1 and #5 are not, unfortunately).

I then read two amazing books set on the North Shore in Minnesota by relatively new author, Peter Geye. He is one hell of a writer and I sincerely hope he will have more books to come. These two are Safe From the Sea and The Lighthouse Road - both of them awesome.

While I wait for Templeton's #4 (on it's way), I've started on Sarah Stonich's 2nd book, The Ice Chorus. Even just a few pages in, I'm under her spell - she's another marvelous Minnesota writer, although this book takes place largely in Ireland.

So, what are you reading this week?
