On my nightstand: the ARC for Wiley Cash's latest novel (The Last Ballad, to be released October 3) and Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo. I also want to reread Station Eleven before the local NEA Big Read begins next month.[/QUOTE]

I'm envious on this. My city used to do the Big Read but stopped after 2 or 3 years due to costs. And Station Eleven will be a great book for that. I never liked science fiction until I read it and Fahrenheit 451, which was our last Big Read. Have a great time with it!

I plan to, Sandrine! Book discussions, pandemic board games at library branches, and a visit from Emily St. John Mandel as the grand finale — what's not to love?

But it would be hard to go wrong with anything written by either of them.
Yes, they most definitely are two different people. I'd forgotten that RR also wrote under the pseudonym Barbara Vine.

I have spent years purging/decluttering my bookshelves. Now I find there are some books I wish I hadn't gotten rid of. Does anyone do that?

Barbara Vine!! I knew there was a pseudonym there someplace. Thanks for helping my memory.

I think I've read more Ruth Rendell, not sure why.

Checked out 5 PD James books at the library this AM. Now I'm all set.

If you like older British mysteries, I loved the Inspector Thanet series by Dorothy Simpson and all the psychological suspense books by Margaret Yorke.

I'm reading The Street Where You Live, Roisin Meaney's latest. It's probably my least favorite book of hers. I'm reading the Kindle version and there don't seem to be any chapter divisions. There may be some, but, if so, they have been so long ago that I've forgotten them. And, I keep having to refigure out how people are. Anyway, it's still good enough that I'm reading it, but I'm hoping her next one is better.

And, I continue to read Remembering Dresden, a mystery by Dan Walsh. It has been an interesting story and I feel like I'm learning some WWII history.

Laura- my library is ordering Roisin Meaney's book. I am glad I did not buy it!
I picked up Melissa Hill's newest book from my library and will start it tonight.

I haven't read any Margaret Yorke for years but I did like her. Also Frances Fyfield. She had both a series featuring Prosecutor Helen West and stand alones.
