book club.

it's time for yet another book club post. i'm still failing miserably at wicked and the devil in the white city. about a month ago i read the queen of palmyra by minrose gwin. yet again it was another book about a girl growing up in the south during the 60s. the book was enjoyable. it touched on some darker issues, moreso than i was expecting. overall it was a good read.

i also read a 'fluff' book called the ridiculous race. it was co-written by two los angeles writers, steve hely and vali chandrasekaran. the two friends start in la and race around the world, with one going east and the other going west. the only rules are they can not take without airplanes and they must cross every longitude along the way. all in all it was entertaining, both from a travel perspective and from their banter and bashing of one another.

currently, i'm rereading an old favorite. the shadow of the wind by carlos ruiz zafon.
