The first few pages have been quite good. <br /><br />I also started listening to DODGERS by Bill Beverly. The novel is disturbing because Beverly has four teens - age 13 to 19 - traveling from Los Angeles to Wisconsin to commit a murder-for-hire. The 13-year-old appears to already be an experienced hitman and the one most comfortable with violence.Gerard Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289822422163685990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-83012635306878304882018-03-21T13:26:54.202-04:002018-03-21T13:26:54.202-04:00Putting THE WIFE on reserve.

I have several in ebook format.<br /><br />I (finally) finished WEST OF GUAM: THE COMPLETE STORIES OF JO GAR by Raoul Whitfield. Excellent! Took a while as I would read a few stories and then move to a novel, or something from the library would come, etc. But I always went back to it and finished up the last 15 stories straight through. Very Highly Recommended.<br /><br />Now I'm reading HARDER GROUND by Joseph Heywood, I'm about half way in. I don't think the stories are as good as the first book, HARD GROUND, but they are still enjoyable. I'm also reading WATSON: MY LIFE by David Ruffle, a fictional autobiography.<br /><br />Next up will be two more books: your story collection I BRING SORROW (ebook edition), and a non-fiction book, DAY ONE about the performance auto business in the Sixties. Since I expect your book to be pretty dark (not usually my thing), I thought I'd want something completely different to to switch over to between stories. <br /><br />After that, who knows, though THE DO-RIGHT has been at the top of the TBR for several weeks now.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-10549531399357162722018-03-21T11:09:28.050-04:002018-03-21T11:09:28.050-04:00I decided on A SECOND CHANCE by Jodi Taylor, thir...I decided on A SECOND CHANCE by Jodi Taylor, third in her Chronicles of St. Mary's series about time-hopping historians.

Torin Kerr, but I don't like the plot line, so will put it aside. I'm reading a collection of O. Henry stories, SIXES AND SEVENS. I might read the second Angela Richman, Death Investigator book instead - FIRE AND ICE. <br /><br />I have a number of library books on hold for when we get home.
