Behind Blue Eyes

The Night and the Music by Lawrence Block My rating: 3 of 5 stars I received an ecopy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. This was a satisfying read, as a collection of Matthew Scudder stories set at various stages of his career/life. While I feel this collection was best suited for longtime readers of Scudder's cases, this was a fine introduction for new readers, giving us a glimpse of this investigator/ex-cop and the style that Block uses with him. I was captivated enough in the overall character and writing style to be drawn into the novel series that these stories are based on, so with that it did its job. View all my reviews

The Starless Crown by James Rollins My rating: 3 of 5 stars DNF at 84% I'm just throwing in the towel. It's a decent story with good characters and worldbuilding, I just don't care. It's been going and going and going and my attention is drifting further and further away. Not a bad book, or a bad audio, I just need to move to something else before it triggers another reading slump. View all my reviews
