IT'S A CRIME! (OR A MYSTERY...): Currently reading...

... "Nirvana Bites" by Debi Alper.

Debi Alper's début "Nirvana Bites" is a tour de force in south London quirky and survival living, with crime not too far away. The pace of this novel has made me put to one side my other reading for the moment, but only for a moment.

I'm drawn in. I look forward to sharing my thoughts in the near future.

Not at all, Maxine. I think we all look out to see if we have similar views, or if we are so diverse in our thoughts that we may have missed the obvious somewhere along the way...

I read a book recently that I absolutely loathed by the time I finished it. A shame, as it was my first read for that particular author and the cover had blurb text from a big name author whose work I do enjoy reading and admire. I've no doubt that the blurb was probably a general one rather than specifically on that book, due to the nature of the wording. Perhaps I started with the wrong book, but I'm going to search and see if there are any reviews out there on the net, as I wonder if I missed something!

I'll have something up on Nirvana Bites by the end of the weekend, as I finished it today.

I look forward to reading your review of Nirvana Bites, I love reading reviews or articles about books I have read (has to be recently with the state of my brain these days). Is that weird of me?

A note for UK Laurie R. King fans... Word reached me today, still to be fully confirmed, that Laurie R. King will be touring the UK in early September to coincide with the release of her books in the UK by Poisoned Pen Press. Bristol is one location (a booked certainty, I'm told); Edinburgh another (on the cards - to be confirmed). When I have the full details of the tour, I will post them up. Laurie R. King's new publisher - Poisoned Pen Press in the UK - will see the author back on the shelves in the UK, in good form. For a while, purchases of...

Kenneth Griffith RIP A goodbye to Kenneth Griffith, who has died at 84 years of age. He was an actor - and that phase of his life I will certainly remember. He also became a producer, hidden behind the scenes, but producing something for the screen that enlightened us, in his later years. As an actor, he featured well, within my youth. The screen displayed its recording and someone said "That's Kenneth Griffith". Yes, it was Kenneth Griffith. There can be no other.
