I just finished 'Prince of Tides'. I'm still in the haze of reading a great novel.

A really good book!
Just finished’How The Light Gets In’ by Joyce Maynard. I think she’s good at character development. I did not realize this is a follow up to Maynard’s book ‘ Count The Ways’ but I think it can stand on its own ok. It is a little repetitive at times.

The book I'm reading now is 'Cue The Sun': the Invention of Reality TV' by Emma Nussbaum,a detailed history of how this genre changed how viewers watched TV. I've always been fascinated by this. The 1st part starts in 1947- 1989,I recognize /or remember watching some of the shows e.g 'Queen for a Day, Candid Camera,The Dating Game,An American Family- The Louds,The People's Court, MTV"s The Real World'. The next part starts with 'Survivor'

I really liked it - though, murder mystery is not my cup of tea. While I love detective shows, for some reason I don't like to read about them.

I finished this book this afternoon, found it interesting for the most part. It ended with reality show' Keeping Up with the Kardashians'.I've watched only 2 shows over the yrs'MTV"s 'The Real World' for the 1st 10 seasons and Survivor which I started at the beginning in 2000. I watched the majority of the shows through the yrs, still interesting to watch

I have a Kobo (alternative to Kindle and not owned by Ama$on). At the moment I'm reading "The Road to Gandolfo" in which Robert Ludlum sends up his usual thriller mode. Previous to that was "Survivor" by JF Gonzalez. I have a lot of ebooks and other downloaded texts on my laptop, as well as having a Kobo subscription. Of physical books I have 48.

Thanks for that. I'm typically not a murder mystery fan either. While some story line explanations came at the end of Sam Hell, I don't consider it a mystery - or a murder mystery - do you?

No, not Sam Hell.
I was actually referring to My Sister's Grave (Tracy Crosswhite #1).I loved Sam Hell so much, I went looking for other books by the same author - but while I mostly enjoyed My Sister's Grave, I don't really go for the murder mystery type stories and doubt I'll read the follow ups.
Did you read the series?
