Now reading, from the same bundle, Project Elfhome. I'd read the eARC, but now I'm reading and mostly listening to the final version. And enjoying it just as much this time as I did the first. |
Devoured and thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommended for those who have read even one of the Tinker/Elfhome books. Though a warning that there are some spoilers if you're still in the middle of the series.
Next up, a pBook from the library, Eric Wright's
A Fine Italian Hand. This is #4 of his Charlie Salter mystery series, and one which has never been converted to eBook format, unfortunately. The first three are available in
A Charlie Salter Omnibus. If you've never read any of these books, I highly recommend them. Charlie Salter is a Toronto police detective and the books, while not "cozies" in the traditional sense, are very "comfortable". We discovered these long before we moved to Canada, and enjoyed them immensely then, and I'm now working my way through them again. Sadly, only the first three, in this very reasonably priced omnibus, and the last,
The Last Hand, are available electronically, and I'm not sanguine that the others will ever be digitized. Eric Wright was never a blockbuster seller -- not enough violence or evil or sex for that -- and now that he has died, I'm not seeing any movement to do anything with the remaining volumes. Fortunately, being a Canadian author, I can generally get his books from a library here. Again, Highly Recommended.
