This weekend, I was able to take advantage of some down time to finish up one of my very first NetGalley books, Blanche Among The Talented Tenth by Barbara Neely. It was exciting for me (dorky but true), and is a mystery that I've been reading for a few weeks. I really enjoyed getting to know the main character, Blanche White, and was surprised by the author's style and approach. I'll have a full review up soon, but for now let's say it was a good read.
I decided to crack open Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris next, as part of the Reading My Library Challenge for the month of April. There's a certain edge to Harris's books that I hadn't picked up on, but so far I like it. It's part of her "food trilogy," which also includes Chocolat (which I haven't read, but did see the movie, yum). This scratches both my travel bug and my magical realism itch - double win.
What are you reading this week? Anything juicy? Or are you still recuperating from the holiday weekend?
