I've never participated in these forums before, but it seems fun and I've really enjoyed pouring over everyone's reading. So, I set a goal for the year and plan on posting about my reading as well.
So far in 2014 I've read:
The Orenda by Joseph Boyden. I've read all his books. They're all good, this one is great! The violence is heavy and graphic, but necessary to be accurate and to avoid romanticizing 15th century Native Canadian life.
The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny. 5th in her Inspector Gamache series. These are all great and I really enjoyed this one. There are 9 in the series and I'll likely complete all over the next few months.
Going Home Again by Dennis Bock. Really really good book! This reminded me a little of A Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes that won the Man Booker a couple of years ago.
Caught by Lisa Moore. Another great book. The plot is somewhat lighter than her brilliant book February, but the writing style is the same and I just couldn't put it down.
