What I'm reading Wednesday...

 

Eleventh finish of the year.

Amusing heist story.  A group of five friends, who are discontented with the downhill trend of the quality at their assisted living facility, turn to a life of crime to make some money for better food and living it up a little.


Twelfth finish of the year.

I like to read a book or two set in Ireland during March to mark St. Patrick's Day.  

This one is about a Chicago police officer who, in a difficult time with both his job and marriage, decides to retire and move to Ireland.  I've read a lot of books about women who move to Ireland or Scotland, but I think this is the first I've read about a man who does it, and it totally worked.  There is a sequel, which I have reserved at the library (and I'm 12th in line for it).

  1. Good to know about both of those as that means I will probably like them too and I still need to fill in both prompts.

    1. The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules was set in Sweden, I believe. It was interesting reading about their transportation modes, museums, and prisons. In a few places, the translation was into English was just a tiny bit off, but not distractingly so.

      The Searcher was really well written, I thought. I loved the humor of the village residents, and there was a surprise that I found delightful.
