Next Book

Hi Everyone,

The next book is Bangkok 8 by John Burdett. Here's a brief review from Library Journal:

Burdett evokes an intriguing and exotic Bangkok where hungry ghosts and capitalists throng the busy intersection of the eightfold path and the red-light district. The depiction of the occasional kinkiness and sadism of this world never seems gratuitous and is skillfully refracted through a highly original sleuth. The pace never flags, every page unfolding fresh mysteries of the psychological, cultural, metaphysical, and locked-room varieties.

(Woah)

Happy reading!

Emma Brown by Charlotte Bronte and Clare Boylan

Hi Bookclubbers,

I just finished the above book. The first 20 pages were written by Charlotte Bronte but never published. Clare Boylan finished the story. It's a neat concept. I think other writers could have just as much success but write a very different book. If you enjoyed Fingersmith I think you will like this too. It has intrique, romance, and a Victorian setting.

happy reading,
Jen
