Book Notes November 12, 2026

 

The Deadly Readers book group meets all year around, on a monthly basis.  I thought you might like to see how they choose the books they read.

 


 


Currently Reading:


 

Daughter of Crows by Mark Lawrence.  It's a fantasy set largely in an academy for girls whose parents paid for their spots.  At graduation, there will only be three young women alive who will set forth delivering a type of justice in a brutal world.

 

Good Reads Choice Awards Voting

It has begun!  I've decided not to vote this year, given how few of the choices I've read, and how disappointed I always am when my favorites don't make the cut. 

 

Review:   To Catch A Storm by Mindy Mejia


 

Book group book time again!   This is a thriller set in Iowa ice storms.  A weather physicist and a disreputable psychic race to find their loved  ones in a terrible storm. They might be held in the same place by the same people, according to Jonah, the psychic.  Eve takes a more scientific approach to everything and she trusts Jonah not at all.  It turns out they're all they've got.

All except for Eve's father in law Earl.  He's been living with Eve and her husband since his stroke.  Physically he is very limited but mentally he's very engaged, and he joins in their dangerous capers with something approaching joy.

I loved the three characters together, and am pleased to see there are two more books with these characters:  A World of Hurt and The Whisper Place.
