What are you currently reading?

Friend and fellow writer, Julie Flanders, just released her book The Ghosts of Aquinnah. I just started and am so excited for a chunk of time to delve into it. 

I read the sample and was impressed enough to buy the book in its entirety. 

Great book, but I haven't had a whole lot of time to finish it. Never mind the fact that I've opened up two other books since starting this one. Go figure. 

I'm doing a final run-through on my upcoming novel, HAUNTED, before its release next Tuesday. 

What did you recently finish reading?
I really liked The Firm and A Time to Kill (even other John Grisham books). But not this one. It almost seemed like he was distracted when writing this, throwing all the basics of writing out the window like: show, don't tell or putting conflict in every scene. And the ending was predictable and anticlimactic. Though if there's no real climax in a novel to begin with, can there be an anticlimax? Disappointed. I only finished it because I spent $8 on the thing. 


What do you think you’ll read next?
Not sure, but it won't be another John Grisham novel.

  4. Grisham is an author that I used to love, but then hit a point where I felt like he was repeating himself a bit. I haven't read any of his books in a long time--but my very favorite was "A Time To Kill"--truly great writing!

  6. Like Baldachi, I dropped Grisham a while back because they'd gotten too commercial.

  9. Susan, Haunted sounds amazing! I can't wait to get my hands on it. I have not read a Grisham book in years. Seems like they were all becoming the same. Happy reading!
