Good Reads

I love to read. I read every day especially before I go to sleep. My bedside is stacked with piles of books. My weekly or biweekly library trips add to the pile. When I find a book I really, really like I get so excited. This past two weeks I have read two such books. Both involve murder because I read about murder way too much. Both have white in their title. Both are in parts of the world I would love to see but probably never will. The first one is "White Nights" by Ann Cleeves. This is part of a series of novels set in the Shetland Islands. She makes her characters come alive. I felt like I was right there on the island worried about the murderer. The second book is "The White Tiger A Novel" by Aravind Adiga. His is set in India. He writes in a clever, witty way describing the hard life of the underprivileged in India. Both books took me to places I may never see but made me feel I had visited. I think I am supposed to underline for the books instead of the " but I don't know how to do that.
