I am contemplating not one, not two but three rereads! Now I know that there are a lot of people out there who do lots of rereads, but I am not one of them. So far this year I haven't reread any books, and in all of last year I only reread one book, and that was a book that I had originally read in high school.
So what's prompted this?
Well, the girls over a Book Binge started it! Their Hero of the Month for October is the delicious Cam Quinn from Sea Swept by Nora Roberts. This was the first book by Nora Roberts that I read, and I just absolutely loved it! I ended up reading all four books in the Chesapeake Bay series in the space of about two weeks. As much as I really liked the other Quinn boys, it was Cam who captured my heart! And despite the fact that I still have a gazillion other Nora books that I haven't read yet, I am thinking that it won't hurt to have a little visit with Cam! Anna is a very lucky girl!
The second book that I am contemplating rereading is Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Oprah has just chosen it as her next book club pick. I was originally introduced to Marquez through the Oprah book club when she chose One Hundred Years of Solitude a few years ago. Since then, every now and again, I read another book by this author. He is an author that I probably would never have chosen to read by myself, but I did love Love in the Time of Cholera. I am thinking about rereading this one, and maybe it's time to try a new Marquez.
The third book is His Majesty's Dragon(Temeraire) by Naomi Novik. One of the groups that I am a member of has this book scheduled as their book of the month for January. Discussion starts January 10, and I am thinking that, since I enjoyed it so much the first time, I might need to reacquaint myself with the book before discussion starts. Such a chore! In the meantime, I am hoping to receive Empire of Ivory sometime in the next couple of weeks!
By the way, have you been to visit Sybil's blog today? Her guest blogger is one of my fave historical romance authors...Lisa Kleypas. There's some really fun posts, and a couple of scrummy excerpts. I hope Mine Till Midnight gets here soon!
I read Love in the Time of Cholera quite a while ago. I think it is my favorite Marquez book. I should really reread it, though I'm not sure I could squeeze it in now. I hope you enjoy it, too.
ReplyDeleteLove in the Time of Cholera is one of the few books I've re-read. I love it. Have you read his collection of short stories, Strange Pilgrims? I am not a huge fan of short stories but these are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't read those! Thanks for the rec!
ReplyDeleteHi Marg, I lost you in my computer transfer...ah but now you are found....and whoa I had a lot of catching up to do.
ReplyDeleteI trying to get Sea Swept from the Library...Chesapeake Bay is a fav place of mine.
Not reading any GGM for Oprah found it an infliction at Uni. But going to have a go at Eat Love and Pray...
Any word on Paullina in Melbourne?
