These are my last readings. I realize that I read less lately ... I don't know why.
•
In fact I haven't finished the book "Doppler" by Erlend Loe. I have not been captivated by this story. I lent the book to my mother and she liked it and even laughed...
•
I enjoyed this book by Philippe Djian is happening in the world of music.
•
I loved the book of Julian Fellowes which dives us into the customs of the British aristocracy of the early and mid-twentieth century through an investigation conducted by an elderly gentleman...
•
And finally, the latest novel by Jon Kalman Stefansson,
one of my favorite authors (my favorite?).
Last September, I was really happy because he came to Tours in a bookstore, talking about his new novel. I bought his book and he signed me, I was happy as a true fan ;)
If his first trilogy was so pleased me, I can not say the same about this book. I liked to read it but I read slower than the previous ones (read a book faster doesn't mean it's a good book...I know). There are beautiful moments in this book but the story is sometimes a little disjointed and repetitive. These are slices of life of different people who lived in Keflavik at different times. I think I'll have to reread this book to be sure of my opinion :)

Passionate as you are of the England, I'm sure you would like the Julian Fellowes book!
SupprimerOne of my favourite writers is Kristin Marja Baldursdottir. (From Iceland) At the moment I am reading book number 3 by Katherine Pancol.
RépondreSupprimerI might go for the book by Julian Fellowes later.... sounded very interesting.
(As a Norwegian, I am pleased your mum liked Erlend Loe :) HAPPY WEEKEND!
I read the Karitas trilogy and I loved it too! There is also the book of Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir (Rosa Candida) which is very good. Some time ago, I read several books by Anne B.Ragde; except one, I loved them.
SupprimerI read the Katherine Pancol books too ;)
Tu lis moins ? Mais tu lis toujours et ton choix du moment m'inspire... côté cadeaux à faire notamment.
