Tackling The Six Books On My March – April “To Be Read” Pile
The Six Books on My March – April “To Be Read” Pile
So my last post was Part 1 of 2 concerning my library “to be read” pile. Post 2 was to deal with the order I was going to read the eight books that I now have out of the library. At the time I was already reading two books from the pile, Cutting Edge by Ward Larsen and Dark Sky from mike Brooks.
Tackling My March-April “to be read” Pile – Part 1
How to Tackle My March-April “to be read” pile – Part 1
So over the last several weeks new books have become available at my library. As a result I have been swapping out books, returning some books read, others have been returned unread. The unread ones were returned because I know I won’t get to them now. The bottom line is I now have eight books on my “to be read” pile from the library. Here is a rundown of the books starting with the books I’m currently reading.
Victim Without a Face – Stefan Ahnhem is a Winner!
Victim Without a Face – Stefan Ahnhem
Victim Without a Face is the first book in the Fabian Risk series from Swedish writer Stefan Ahnhem. I stumbled across this series when I was in the library last week.I found it was, when I was looking through the new releases, and the book , The 9th Grave caught my eye.
The Sinister Pig – Tony Hillerman – Another Visit with an Old Favorite
Another The Sinister Pig – Tony Hillerman
So I have read almost all of the books in the Jim Chee – Joe Leaphorn series. However, the last Tony Hillerman book I read was in 2000, when I read Hunting Badger (Book #14)!The Sinister Pig (Book #16) in the series has probably been on my bookshelves unread for about 5 years or more. Since one of my reading challenges for 2018 is to read 25 books that are on my TBR shelves and specifically books from series that I have not read for years, choosing The Sinister Pig was a no-brainer.
The Shadow District Begins a New Series from Arnaldur Indridason
The Shadow District – Reykjavik Wartime Mystery #1
The Shadow District by Arnaldur Indridason is book one in his new Reykjavik Wartime Mystery series.
Indridason is the author of the excellent Detective Erlender series. However, I must admit that while I have loved the series books I have read, I have fallen behind in the series. As a result, I often forget about the series. Can out say once again “too many books too little time”.

Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America…
If You Want to Understand the Roots of Our Current Political Situation – Read this Book!
Over the last few weeks I am finding it more and more difficult to post. Again I haven’t stopped reading, listening or exercising just that when I sit down to write a post, I get distracted and pick up a book or good do something else. Anyway I just finished book 9 of 2017. The following read though is for book 7. Hopefully, if I can get myself focused and motivated reviews for book 8 Parting Shot by Linwood Barclay and book 9 Descent by Tim Johnston, will follow shortly.
