November First Reads

This month's choices: 

 

  1. Mystery- At First Light
  2. Book club fictio - Three More Months
  3. Domestic suspense - into the Sound
  4. Historical Fiction - Last Rose of Shanghai
  5. Memori - Flying on the Inside
  6. Literary fiction - Bed Stuy
  7. Contemporary romance - Read between the LInes
  8.  Historical Fantasy - Innate Magic
  9. Picture book - Dancing with Daddy

1 - serial killer, no thanks.  2 - woman's mom dies and she wakes up 3 months earlier, before the death.  Nope. 3 - more suspense with abuse and kidnapping, no thanks.  4 - jazz in Shanghai, could be interesting.  5 - widow with a brain tumor, sounds depressing. And it's the only one the library hasn't got on order. 6 - literary fiction but also a romance.   7 - Contemporary fluffy chick-lit romance.  8 - historical LGBTQ fantasy.  Meh.  

(Some reviewer has left a review with a count of the swears, f-bombs, and how many times "the Lord's name was taken in vain" - a lot of time on their hands.)


By process of elimination, I'm down to Last Rose and Bed Stuy.  Last Rose seems more interesting.
