Rendezvous with Muse News - My Blog (Book) https://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/2155547 Greetings and welcome to my first blog entry for 2020 (year of the rat) -My Reading- I must confess my book reading enthusiasm has declined over the past couple of months. Finished reading Lee Childâs second to last book = Past Tense, and also read 61 hours, both fairly typical of Childâs style of writing. I have read that Lee Child is on the Booker prize awards panel and has announced his intention to retire from writi...[Read Full Post] Mon, 27 Jan 2020 03:45:53 EST https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/974289 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/974289 My Reading I have finished reading a few books since my last posting back in April of this year one of which was entitled âChewing Gum and Holy Water by Cheryl Hardachre and Mario Valentini. The story reads like an anthology of biographical short-stories, concerning Mario Valentiniâs childhood in the Abruzzo Mountains; east of Rome. Mario is the young nephew of a respected priest and though he is expected to join the priesthood, has other am...[Read Full Post] Sun, 01 Sep 2019 05:47:45 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/965330 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/965330 Reading Finished reading âThe Kill Roomâ by Jeffery Deaver. It is part of a series of books involving a grizzled investigator named Lincoln Rhyme. In this book he has been confined to a wheelchair because of some accident that you probably need to read the previous books to get find out about. Roberto Moreno critic of America is gunned down along with his bodyguard and reporter in the Bahamas during an interview and Lincoln, along with a hard...[Read Full Post] Sun, 07 Apr 2019 06:04:24 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/955969 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/955969 Reading I must admit to being a little lapse with reading of late. Still plodding through "The Kill Room" by Jeffery Deaver. Will update a bit later. Speaking of books Wellington Central Library in the CBD has closed indefinitely until it can be Earthquake strengthened. Will have a big impact on wellington as it offers a place to read, borrow books, study, relax and have a coffee (It has an upstairs cafÃ). Reports say that it has an ...[Read Full Post] Fri, 22 Mar 2019 19:10:42 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/954768 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/954768 General News -Reading- Finished âThe Hard Wayâ, by Lee Childs â 10th book in the Series, fifth book I have read. Iâm reading them sort of out of order â A Wanted Man (17), Never Go Back (18), The Affair (16), Killing Floor (1) and the Hard Way (10). The over-all story was interesting and full of surprises and had me guessing till the end. Reacher seemed to be having a slight break from his usual fights and aggression but was able...[Read Full Post] Fri, 22 Mar 2019 18:51:40 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/952607 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/952607 I have neglected this blog for quite awhile but want to update it more frequently this year.

(Quite spectacular to say the least) News Read and finished "The Darkest Evening of the Night" by Dean Koontz. Started off good and ended in an interesting way but seemed to drag a little in...[Read Full Post] Sat, 09 Feb 2019 17:43:50 EST https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/951594 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/951594 This is the second entry into my new blog which I am planning to fill with various creative writing projects, from my past and present as well as plugs for future stories.
