Lustrous



"Luster" by Raven Leilani is not my thing, but it is an excellent read and in a week I am more than halfway through so I would recommend this to anyone who reads. It concerns a young black artist who takes up with an older white couple although they seldom meet together. The girl is not a hero or villain but just trying to get through life

I have resumed "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it I just restart it.

I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est La Vie.

The music is "Glittering Prize" by The Simple Minds

Luster By Raven Leilani




My latest book is "Luster" by Raven Leilani. Like "The Blood Crows" by Simon Scarrow It is not my thing but carries recommendations from Zadie Smith and Barack Obama and it is another community library exchange and it was pitted against something by Tiger Woods. It concerns a young black artist who takes up with an old white coup, and I read forty pages in the first dip in so it is a rather excellent read so far.

I have resumed "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it I just restart it.

Back To Barker

 


"The Blood Crows" by Simon Scarrow is finished and it was a good read but not my thing, so it will go back to the lending/exchange library. Macro and Cato made it out and will be in the next book whatever that may be.

"The King Of Elfland's Daughter" by Lord Dunsany is also complete and it is a truly wonderful read. A brilliant fantasy.

I am not sure what will be next but I have resumed "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end and when I finish it I just restart it.

Showdown In Britannia



"The Blood Crows" by Simon Scarrow, we have a showdown between Quertus and Cato to see who is the Top Dog in the fort while awaiting the next attack from Caractacus.

"The King Of Elfland's Daughter" by Lord Dunsany is full of beautiful language and seems to be moving toward Lirazel being reunited with her son Orion but on Earth which upsets her father the king.
