| Midnight Crossroad (bk 1 Midnight, Texas series) by Charlaine Harris 2/7/19 recap AM Very funny evening! We started off well enough discussing Midnight Crossroad (Book 1 of the Midnight Texas series) by Charlaine Harris. The book is about what appears to a dried-up western town - boarded up windows, one street light, few full-time inhabitants. It's those full-time inhabitants that have secrets. In typical Charlaine Harris fashion, this is a well written book with great characters and a good story. We had fun comparing the book to the TV series. We enjoyed the book so much we will be reading the next book at a later date. We then moved onto what next month's book will be (Midnight Robber) and if there were any suggestions for empty 2019 slots...form there we delved into hilarity. Aurelia is STILL looking for those demons on demon island LOL! Chris is NEVER going to shark infested resort..had to be there. Lots of fun. |
| Playing With Fire by Tess Gerritsen 1/17/19 recap Chris H Our musical theme was well represented with Playing with Fire by Tess Gerritsen. The book alternated sections with two main characters -Julia in the first person and Lorenzo in the third. A curious piece of music - the Incendio waltz - ties the two stories together. Our moderator, Aurelia, had read other books by the author, and although she thought her other works better, still gave this good marks. All attendees agreed. Good characters, good pace, well received book and an author to possibly revisit for future discussions. We also voted on moving Suspense Central from the third Thursday to the first Thursday to provide better spacing between SC and Modern Masters for book reading. We also filled in some of the missing months in 2019 (see below). An enjoyable and productive evening. Great start to 2019! |
