I took out "The Cuckoo's Calling" from the library and just realized that it was written by J. K. Rowling (under the name Robert Galbraith). Nice surprise, I hope it's good. All I've read by her were the Harry Potter novels.
I finished Orphan X last night and gave it three stars though it probably only deserves a two. I am so glad to be finished with it. I started My Mrs Brown and it's ok so far. It is going to be a fast read but great literature it's not! It certainly is a nice change from Orphan X though.

It is good! All three of the novels written under Robert Galbraith are good reads. I am reading the third one now, Career of Evil. Very well written all of them really are.
Finished "Memory In Death" J.D. Robb and after having read over 20 of the In Death series I was not very interested in "Memory In Death". It looks like "Born In Death" is next and hopefully it'll be better. I need a new Lee Child to read.

It's very good! I'm halfway through the book and it's only been two days. I'm so happy!
I liked this book but did not love it. It's set in the years leading up to the American Civil War. I've read all that before. Think "Gone With the Wind" and "Roots" without the long, sweeping history of the region and nary a word about King Cotton. Yippee! I really do not like to read about that period in American history. It tends to set me off on a rant. So, it speaks well of the book that I "liked" it. I believe this author will turn out more good books in the future. I certainly hope so.
I do recommend it for its ease of reading and rather good character development. We all know the story. There are two very strong female leads in the plot: White child of the plantation owner and Black wet nurse. I liked both of them very much. The plot is well explored and though we've seen it before it still draws the reader in.
I read the kindle version and found literally no grammatical or spelling errors. That in itself is way cool.
The cover photo of a beautiful Australian Shepherd, and the book synopsis, made me go for ~Show dog : the charmed life and trying times of a near perfect purebred. Back in the 70's I was a fancier of purebred rough-coated Collies along with donkeys and mules, and since I didn't drive back then, I would make my poor hubby drive me around to dog, donkey and mule shows, sometimes I had to really finagle him to go, but we usually had a great time. I finally got my beautiful purebred collie, but never had any desire to show him.
Anyway, these days I am charmed by the Aussie, but I know they are way too smart and active for this 65 year old,and a Chihuahua is more my speed, haha.
Then I have another Aussie book, that a cover with an even more beautiful 'blue-eyed' Aussie compelled me to purchase for my new Kindle Paperwhite~♥♥♥ Show Dog Sings the Blues (The Show Dog Diaries Book 2)by Devin O'Branagan https://www.amazon.com/Show-Sings-Bl...show+dog+blues
I just got out of the hospital , long story but am not reading much . my husband brought me my computer but they had no internet at all so that was a waist of time indeed .
