The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown 3 days ago

The formula is getting a little predictable. Still a good read.



Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coehlo 1 week ago

Not quite what I was expecting and certainly an “adult-only” book.



Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella 4 weeks ago

Nice light reading. Very predictable.



At the Queen's Summons by Susan Wiggs 1 month ago

The last of the trilogy, another romance. Great reading for a vacation. Now back to some other things on my list.



The Maiden's Hand by Susan Wiggs 1 month ago

Second in the trilogy. Romance novel set in the reign of the Tudors. Again, not my usual fare, but one of the few things I could find to read on the island.



At the King's Command by Susan Wiggs 1 month ago

A historical romance. Not my usual fare, but I couldn’t find much else on the island.



Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult 1 month ago

Very captivating. I’ve always enjoyed her books and she always chooses topics that steeped in controversy and difficult decisions.



The Valkyries by Paulo Coehlo 1 month ago

A fictionalize account of the author’s spiritual quest set in the southwestern desert. Interesting.



The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho 2 months ago

I like this author series. Simple easy read with so much depth.



The Women by T.C. Boyle 2 months ago

About the women in the life of Frank Lloyd Wright, the greatest architect in the world (according to him). FLW is one of my favorite architects so I’m always interested when there is something to read about him.

The book focused on the personalities of the women and left FLW as neither hero nor villian, although he was probably both. It was set mostly in Taliesen in Spring Green, WI, but also in Oak Park and Chicago. Being an architect, and from Chicago, I am ashamed to say that I’ve never visited Taliesen (east or west) but it is something I need to do.
