I started A Deadly Affection (Book One in the Dr. Genevieve Summerford Mystery Series), by Cuyler Overholt with just a bit of trepidation ... you see, it followed Lost in Lumby. I've often felt a bit bad for any book that follows a favorite author/series). Not to worry, it was excellent! Here, the doctor is working in a new field ... psychology and the effects a traumatic event can have on a person. Set in New York in the early 1900's. Nicely done.

Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline, was rather a surprise ... I've never played many of the interactive computer games, or anything like Dungeons and Dragons, etc. and yet, I really enjoyed this! It may have been all the references to pop culture of the 80's! Turns out several of my reading buddies have already read ... or tried ... this book and I have mixed reviews to report: four liked it (including me), two could not get into it. We are all about the same age. :-) I say give it a try.

Constant Reader told me about this book some time ago and I am finally getting around to reading it: Eleanor and Hick: the Love Affair That Shaped a First Lady, by Susan Quinn. Well researched and well written it offers a new perspective on Eleanor Roosevelt and the woman in her life who made her a better First Lady. I found it rather sad at times since given the times their relationship was never disclosed, but these were amazing women and it was a worthy read.
