Happy Valley: The Story of the English in Kenya by Nicholas Best.

Gave me a little more insight into Karen Blixen (pen name Isak Dinesen) and a little about Elspeth Huxley. The murder of Josslyn Hay, the 22nd Earl of Erroll, was covered

and the author's opinion that Jock Delves Broughton, who many thought was guilty, couldn't have committed the murder.

I just downloaded  from the library "Table for Two" by Amor Towles (of A gentleman in Moscow fame). I have only read 10 pages and already know that I am going to love this book. 🙂

I love how the author tackles issues of trust, jealousy, and understanding in relationships. He isn't afraid to show the darker sides of love, which adds realism to the story.

I love the books written by Ursula Le Guin!! It has been quite a while since I read the Earthsea Series but I remember how much I liked them. Ursula was an excellent writer.

I just downloaded The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin.

 

Edit: Ooops, didn't download but did put the book on hold at the library. I am #1 on the hold list.

That’s on my virtual (i.e. in my head) TBR list
