Summer Reading

I have been reading quite a bit of fiction this summer but one of the books that stood out for me was one called, Angelology by Danielle Trusson. Angelology took a few pages for me to get into, but once I got into it I could not put it down. This book is a thriller packed with action. Angelology is a book about a group of Angelologist in the 1930's who have hidden a lyre from the Fallen Angels who want this lyre for the abilities that it holds. As time goes by Sister Evangeline has been drawn into the mystery of recovering the lyre that was hidden by the Angelologist of the 1930's, and who the Fallen Angels still want to retrieve. This book is a thrilling and wonderful read. You will be surprised by its outcome as it plays out.

The other book that I have started reading is Last Rituals:An Icelandic Novel of Secret Symbols, Medieval Witchcraft, and Modern Murder by Yrsa Sigurdardottir. It takes place in Iceland and a wealthy families son has been murdered. the family is not satisfied with the suspect that has been sentenced for the death of their son. Amelia Guntlieb hires Thora Gudmundsdottir, a Lawyer. Accepting the case from Amelia, Thora is handed over the case from where investigator Matthew Reich leaves off. So, far its interesting. I'll be blogging back again on whether or not I liked this book or not.











All I have to say about this book is that if you have not read it please do. This is definitely a must read. I love the way that his words flow like prose. I was on an emotional roller coaster ride with his character mariam, and I think you will be too.
