What I'm Reading / Doris Miles Disney - Holy Cow!
« on: April 25, 2020, 02:58:19 pm »

I just finished Who Rides a Tiger by Doris Miles Disney. Her Wikipedia entry:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Miles_Disney

This was definitely a "Wow!" book. The structure is that of a young woman discovering and reading the diary of her recently deceased aunt and unraveling the mystery of her life.

(Kate and I both loved it and that doesn't always happen.)

What I'm Reading / Re: Quarantine Reading List?

I'm going for comfort reads. I just finished re-reading The Rose in Darkness by Christianna Brand. Brand is one of my favourites--I don't think anyone could beat her for plot reversals.

Now I'm reading Christie's Five Little Pigs, for the third time, just to see how she did it. And then I'm going on to Peril at End House.

I also have an early copy of The Red Locked Room, a collection of locked-room stories by Tetsuya Ayukawa, and I'm reading those in between chapters of Christie...
