I am a little behind on my bestseller reading. There are a few items on the NYT bestseller list that I am looking forward to. The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd is an historical fiction about a woman who grew up to become a prominent abolitionist, but who was given the gift of a slave girl for her 11th birthday. Nancy Horan has written another book about a famous couple. She had previously given us Loving Frank about the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This year, she has published Under the Wide and Starry Sky about Robert Louis Stevenson's troubled marriage. Stephen King has a new release for all of us who were terrified by The Shining. Doctor Sleep is his newest book which continues the life of Dan the boy with powers in The Shining as a grown up.
For those of you who like British mysteries, Alan Bradley has a new book in the Flavia DeLuce series The Dead in their Vaulted Arches. After all, who would not like a detective who is a 12 year old prodigy with an interest in poison?
If it keeps snowing, I will keep reading!
