Another great month of reading. My two favorites are Dear Edward and Misterioso, but they were all good. Dear Edward is the perfect read for a book club and everyone else! A 12-year-old boy is the sole survivor of a plane crash and he's now famous and all alone. His life changes when he's a bit older and he reads the letters that strangers wrote him. It's a meditation on survival and a tutorial on how a broken heart can mend. I love this book so much that I sent it to 5 of my favorite readers;.
Misterioso is the first in a new Swedish crime series. I read a lot of Scandinavian authors because I enjoy the change in world view. This is a great series and has been turned into a TV series. I don't watch TV, so I didn't base my reading on that. I loved all the characters in this story and hope to follow them on more adventures.
Gregg Hurwitz is a must-read author for me, I've enjoyed each of his Orphan X novels and Hellbent is no exception. If you haven't read Hurwitz, I suggest starting with the first in the series, Orphan X.
